Congratulations @Tiffany Johnson! Your "animal to help" submission WINS you tickets to BROOKFIELD ZOO!

So to us the most special part about THIS particular ticket giveaway is that a private donor (a mom from here in the Mom Squad) got the urge to want to share with others JUST BECAUSE! We were so delighted when we received the text from the mom asking could we host a ticket giveaway on her behalf while she remained anonymous.
It is our goal here at The Chicagoland Mom Squad to always have creative giveaways that we can all take part in. You know, nothing too complicated but just enough to be fun (if you can squeeze out the time as a mom)!
With that in mind, on Friday, 8/26 we posted the following on FB:

BROOKFIELD ZOO ANYONE!?!?!? Our first FREE TICKET GIVEAWAY comes from a private donor who believes in the importance of fun family days and wanted to provide a FAMILY 4-PACK of open tickets (expires Jan, 2012) to the Brookfield Zoo. ENTER TO WIN by answering the following question: As a mom, if I could have any ANIMAL to help me with some of my mommy duties, what would that animal be and how would you use the animal to help you be a better mom. #cornybutcute EMAIL YOUR RESPONSES TO CHICAGOLANDMOMSQUAD@GMAIL.COM Responses due by Sunday 8:00 PM. #havefunwithyouranswers

Clearly, many of us in the Chicagoland Mom Squad would REALLY love to have an animal to assist with our mommy duties! LOL! The responses were GREAT! The two most popular answers were an Octopus and Cheetah I believe there was an even a Kangaraoo in there too! 

The private donor in conjunction with the Chicagoland Mom Squad team are happy to announce Ms. Tiffany Johnson, mother of 3 girls as the winner of the Brookfield Zoo Ticket Giveaway! 

Below was her submission: 

If I could have any ANIMAL to help me with some of my mommy duties

I would choose an octopus, to help raise my 3 little cuties.

She would assist Lela with her home work,

And comb Lauryn’s head.

Vacuum the floors and make all the beds.

Read London a book,

While I got some rest.

So I could continue to be the mommy, that my kids call the best.

Sweeping with one pair of arms,

Washing dishes with the other,

Folding one load with the next.

Giving my girls more time to spend with their mother.

#howsweet

Tiffany - thanks for your submission and being such an active part of The Chicagoland Mom Squad!

Happy Back to School season! We hope you packed your family's summer with tons of memories!!

Getting Started...

Chicagoland Mom Squad on Facebook is starting to build a little more momentum. With that in mind, we thought it best to "keep up" in our own way. So we started this blog. Some of us on the team are most definitely late blooming bloggers. Nonetheless, we are all equally committed to growing and establishing Chicagoland Mom Squad as the unique Chicagoland Mom resource. If you just stopped by to read...thanks! If you've decided to follow, contribute, invite someone else, or simply keep checking back on FB, Twitter or our new blog...thanks and we TRULY appreciate you! #creatingmemories
