Smarties, get your calendars ready and start mapping out your summer plans – YMCA Camp Harrison & Thunderbird have early bird discounts that will expire on January 31st. Every dollar helps, especially when you have four kids like I do!
Read up on my experience last year as a Camp M.O.M. – and guess what? We’ll be there again for Session 6B, I love this place! Spots are still available for some weeks if you are interested in being a Camp M.O.M. – this was by far my favorite volunteer experience ever!
The Early Bird Discount at Camp Harrison:
Early birds who register before January 31st qualify for a $50/week discount. YMCA of Greater Charlotte members also receive an additional membership discount of $100/week for each camper.
Sign up now and be a (smart-y) early bird! Call 800-514-1417 to speak with someone directly.

Vote for the 2013 Jen Lisman Bunich Smarty Mom of the Year!
When we think of one person who epitomizes all things mommyhood, we think of Jen Bunich. In her two and a half short years as a new mommy, she embraced that role like no other. Jen immersed herself in all aspects of being a mother to her sweet Claire in her work, home life and play life.
On Monday, January 13th, we would like to name one 2013 Smarty Mom the “Jennifer Lisman Bunich Smarty Mom of the Year” in honor of our favorite Smarty Mom ever.
Our Smarty Mom of the Year will be selected after Smarty Charlotte casts their votes! We selected six Smarty Moms based on a variety of reasons, whether it’s a mom who is battling to end childhood cancer, one who is making a difference in our community, one who is putting herself out there as a new mompreneur, one who is bringing new life onto this earth or one who is just plain living the Smarty Mommy lifestyle. We love all of our Smarty Moms equally and it was hard to select just a few! The winner will receive a $100 gift card from our favorite spa, The Spa at Ballantyne.
