About the Contest Sponsor – Patty Santiago aka MommyTac0

Patty is an Army wife who recently became a Scentsy independent consultant so that she can share one of her favorite things with her friends: Scentsy wickless warmers. Patty knows that it can be hard to feel at home when the military often requires families to move to new locations every few years. Scentsy helps create a warm, inviting atmosphere that helps make a house feel more like a home. She believes that the sense of smell is the main sense that triggers memories.

With over 80 scents to choose from, Scentsy will not only bring back fond memories but help keep memories created in our new homes smelling familiar and comforting. In  participation of the upcoming Military Spouse Appreciation Day, Patty would like to sponsor a blog give-a-way to three fellow Military Spouses. The contests will be held on three Military Spouse blogs, where each will have one winner.

Disclosure – I am in no way directly affiliated with Scentsy nor is the give-a-way sponsored by Scentsy. This give-a-way is being sponsored fully by Scentsy Independent Consultant Patty Santiago, and I have not been paid to promote Scentsy or their products. I did receive a warmer and 3 scents as compensation for the product review.

Special thanks to all those that entered and of course Borders that sponsored the contest!

Stay tuned another contest coming in February !!  : )

Yes that is ME , your Household6,  doing an interview WHILE receiving a facial! What I won’t do for some tv time huh??

Also – if you are in the local Colorado Springs area – make sure you visit The Russian Day Spa for a special offer on a facial

Well the Channel 5 finally streamed my segment on their website (thanks Stefanie) ..  you can view it here
My segment is roughly at 9:25 min

Well today was my interview with USAA here at the house! I was so excited it that I got up extra early to make sure I didn’t oversleep! (lame I know) Of course, I twittered my excitement about the interview too.

As I’m waiting for the USAA video crew (David & Daniel) to get here, I get a direct message on Twitter from a reporter from the local news ( NewsFirst5).  Being the media hog that I am, I said of course! The lady tells me that they need to contact the Public Affairs office to come onto Ft Carson.  I didn’t see that this would be a problem due to the fact that this interview had NOTHING to do with the Army and SGT Daddy obviously wouldn’t be there.

The video team gets there and starts setting up… then the Public Affairs office (PAO) calls. They tell me that they should have been notified that they were coming on post,etc. (this was not the case when we did our interview with Fox at Belvoir. PAO only needed to be there because my hubby was there )The PAO tells me that they need to run it by JAG real quick but “it shouldn’t be a problem.

OK, so I’m thinking — no big deal! they will get all straightened out and we’ll be good to go!  WRONG!

Brandy from the PAO office calls and tells me that since “the interview wasn’t previously approved by the Commander” we can’t do the interview in my house on post. It has to be conducted off post.

ok no problem — we decided to do the interview at Garden of the Gods here in Colorado Springs… it was a beautiful day here and Garden of the Gods is such a pretty place. The crew packs up their gear, we pile into the SUV and off we go.

We met up with the local news reporter and find a nice location. Everything is great! (wait for it)

10 minutes into the interview, it starts raining lightly. The USAA team continues with the interview. We finally wrap up the interview 10 minutes later, only because its raining REALLY HARD.  The kicker is that the local news reporter still hasn’t interviewed me yet.

We decide to wait it out  and 5 minutes the rain starts. I do the interview with Channel 5 and some wrap up footage with USAA and FINALLY we are done. (you think this is over don’t you … )

The video team and I decide to get something to eat and the girls choose their favorite restaurant (and mine), Texas Roadhouse. So we head over there.. and GUESS what? They don’t open till 4pm during the week. I mean seriously?? What else was going to happen?

We finally get something to eat at Chili’s which was completely awesome by the way and I make my way back home to good ole Fort Carson.

All in all, it was a fun day and I thoroughly enjoyed doing both interviews.  I just wish Murphy (as in Murphy’s Law) would have kept to himself. Once I get copies of both interviews, I’ll be sure to post them here on the blog.

I’m tired and going to bed… I’m sure you can understand why!  : )
