OCRF, Electrolux, Kelly Ripa & House of Smiths ... Oh my!

{Our Adventures, in the City!}

If you follow us on FB or twitter, then you know that we've been getting ready for a trip to NYC, these past few days!
Well, after todays events, I'm so excited to finally share with you what we've been up to!
House of Smiths has teamed up with  Electrolux and the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, to help spread awareness about ovarian cancer.
The OCRF's purpose, is to fund research to find a method of early detection and ultimately a cure for ovarian cancer.
We all know, or have at least seen and heard about how amazing Miss Kelly and her Electrolux appliances are, right?


* State of the art cook tops that boil water in 90 seconds,
EW30IS65JS
* Refrigerators that have endless amounts of space,

* The quietest (and may I say, sleekest) dishwashers around,

EIDW6305GS

* And the largest capacity washer and dryer out there,
with total wash-to-dry time being only a measly 29 minutes!!!

Well, not only does Electrolux have all the greatest cutting edge appliances, but they have an "even more amazing" (hee hee) company backing them up!

Electrolux and Kelly Ripa hosted a fabulous event in NYC this week, to kick off this special effort to raise awareness for the OCRF!
And they invited all my little chicks, and their Momma of course, :)
to their "Chari-Tea Party" event, that took place at "Eloise at the Plaza"!
Definitely the pinkest, loveliest space EVER!

It was such a privilege to meet up with other fun, talented Moms, their beautiful daughters, a great company and adorable Kelly, to help support such an amazing cause!

The girls had oodles of fun!  And we were so happy to be invited!


We have lots more to share, but for now, we hope that you'll help us support this great cause as well, by teaming up with Electrolux TOO!
yes... You!

When you visit www.Kelly-Confidential.com and choose a fun outfit and tea party set-up for Kelly's Chari-Tea Party, Electrolux will donate $1.00 to OCRF, as part of their $750,000 commitment, to the cause!
And BONUS!

I'm LOVING all the fun colors, perfect for ANY style laundry room!

Plus!  This is the only front load washer and dryer that can get 50 Mommy and Me outfits ready in time for all  the tea party fun!
Talk about cutting your laundry chore in half!
 :)

You can also keep updated by following Kelly Confidential on
Facebook and Twitter!

We are beyond thrilled to be teaming up with such great people, and can't wait to share with you, our adventures that we've had in NYC, and our further partnership with Electrolux and OCRF!

Now I'm off with the girls to enjoy New York some more, before we have to fly home, tomorrow!

Can you say NY style Pizza, and site seeing in the rain!?
Welcome to the CITY!


My participation in the "Chari-Tea Party" Campaign was sponsored by Electrolux who provided me with transportation arrangements, to and from New York City to participate


Thank you!

  21. Oh I am soo happy to hear and see that you got to participate and meet Kelly, she is amazing and what she is doing for ovarian cancer research is great! I was diagnosed w/ stage 3 ovarian cancer july 09 at the age of 28 6 months after having my 4th child!! they say its rare for it to hit someone my age, but the trickiest thing about Ov cancer is its usually detected when its to late and the symptoms are usually what us women have during that time of the month anyway! I have to thank my family and faith in my heavenly father that has gotten me this far,as women we take care of everyone else and sometimes forget about ourselves and put our health back burner, listen to your gut and take the time to see a Dr and do those things that will keep us running like the energizer bunnies we are!! House of Smith's I love what you do and Joy and cheeriness you bring to my life! thanks again and keep up the good work!
