Well Hello from one of the new ladies of The View…Mom Ambassadors that is. Â I know I know you got super excited thinking I was going to be on the View as one of the New co hosts, but that excitement is still well deserved as I am one of The View Mom Brand Ambassadors. Â A select group of moms that Mom Central put together to be brand ambassadors for ABC’s The View. Â You can even see my new snazzy button over there in my sidebar.
As a View Mom brand ambassador, over the next 4 (well 3 since last week was week one) weeks I will be tweeting through the shows, sharing my thoughts on The View and telling you why I should be a co host.  Okay maybe not that last thing but then again maybe I will tell you all why.  I have been watching  The View since the day it aired August 11, 1997 can you believe that!  Gosh that’s a long time.
I still remember the ORIGINAL cast of Meredith Vieira, Star Jones, Debbie Matenopolous, and Barbara Walters. Â They brought in Joy Behar who switched back and forth with Barbara as the 4th co host. Â Since then we have seen multiple hosts…Lisa Ling, Rosie O’Donnell both of which whom left the show. Â As well as Elisabeth Hasslebeck, Â Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepard who are current hosts along with Barbara and Joy (the only remaining original hosts).
I love the politics talk on the show and quite often find myself siding with Elisbeth and Sherri. Â I distinctly remember the Elisabeth and Rosie show down and was probably as ticked as Elisabeth was and I wasn’t even there. Â I love Hot Topics and the celebs the show brings into my home on a Monday through Friday basis. Â It’s one show I truly sit through and voice my opinion right back to the television as if I were sitting in one of the hosts chairs *AHEM ABC THAT IS A HINT*
So follow me on Twitter and every Monday – Friday morning at 10 a.m. central you can catch me live tweeting while watching the show, follow #theviewmoms to keep up with my conversations as well as all the other View Moms. Â Coming up this week on the view is:
- 2/22 ~ Day of Hot Topics, I am sure we will hear some Tiger Woods talk in this episode.
- 2/23 ~ The ladies will talk with Ricky Gervais and the cast of The Jershey Shore (I love that train wreck of a show)
- 2/24 ~ Talking with Best selling author Danielle Steele
- 2/25 ~ Reality couple Bill & Giuliana Rancic are talking about their infertility struggles.
- 2/26 ~ Regis Philbin (love him) and his wife Joy are singing to the audience.
I am looking forward to sharing with everyone out there on twitter what’s new and current on The View and am proud & excited to be a View Mom Brand Ambassador. Â Mom Central also has a sweepstakes going on where one lucky winner will win a trip to The View live in person. Â So head over and enter for your chance to win.

I used to be such a huge fan of The View. I, like you, remember the original cast. But when Debbie left, I grew comfortable with Lisa very quickly. I thought she was sooo smart. When the whole Star Jones wedding saga began to take over the show, I couldn’t take it anymore. I think my breaking point was when she has her entire wedding party (or just her brides maids) on the show. That was too much for me. I was happy that she was getting married, but talking about it every day was overkill. Anyway when I’m not at work, I always tune in. I had the chance to meet Sherri Shepherd a few months ago. She is wonderful. I’d love a chance to go to a taping of the view. Joy is hilarious.
