Time Warner Cable chose our mother-daughter team to help launch the 2007 San Diego 50 Best Moms contest. Wow, what an honor!
We went to a couple of local television stations and a radio station to promote the contest; KUSI, KFMB and Channel 933 greeted us like celebrities. We were there on three different days, very early in the morning (6AM!), to get situated and powder our noses.
First, we went to Channel 933 Radio where we met AJ's Playhouse. The kids were overjoyed to meet their favorite radio personalities; A.J., Hula, Kalvin and Geena the Latina help them wake up each and every morning to get ready for school so it was exciting to see them in person. Alex and Bianca put on headphones and sat in front of the microphones to help me answer questions about the contest. Bianca told the audience about what she wrote in her winning essay to help others know what it takes to win this contest.

A couple of days later we went to KFMB TV Channel 8 where Nichelle Medina and Dan Cohen greeted us. They were so nice and even shared their Mac Studio Fix powder with us. Natasha Steinbock was one of the judges the year before, and was there too. The studio was very big, and the new HDTV cameras were reminiscent of the Lost In Space robots; they moved all by themselves tracking our every move!
At KUSI, we sat down with Dan Plant who asked us some questions about the contest, after that Bianca did a spot by herself reading part of her essay.
A few months after we were done with the press junket, I was asked to be part of the judging panel who reads the essays and helpes select the winners for 2007.
This was the icing on the proverbial cake!
