Changes Are Happening: We Want Your Feedback…

I am sure some of you have noticed that something is different about Our Mommyhood.  You are right!  Things are changing here.  The great part is that they are changing for the better.  Due to some conflicts in schedules and other commitments, the previous editors handed over the reigns to me.  Betsy and Liz have created a beautiful, helpful and very insightful blog for moms, although they were unable to continue due to other conflicts.

My partner and I are excited to take over and hope to nurture this budding site into the beautiful flower we know it can be.  We both have been readers for over a year and even contributors from time to time.  When I heard that the site might be closing down, I called up my friend and suggested our taking it over.  We are both brand new to blogging, but have been on the outskirts helping other bloggers for over a year.  I have met many of you at conferences and probably have even talked to you via email.  Now is my time to join the ranks!

I am sure by now, you are thinking – “WELL!  Who are you?”  Currently we  not able to put a lot of information on the site about ourselves due to our current full time positions.  For now you can just think of us as “Friends”, but we will be able to divulge more information later on.  Many of the posts  here will not be written by only us, we hope to share the works of many of our favorite bloggers in the form of guest posters.

We would like to hear from you.  We would like to expand the topics covered and bring in more interests from different walks of life. What would you like to see on the site?  Here are some of our suggestions -

  • Bringing back handmade – features on handmade crafting – knitting, crocheting, scrapbooking, DIY projects etc.
  • Celebrating women – inspiration, stories of powerful women, and interviews from different women of influence
  • Family Therapists corner – positive parenting, bettering communication, seminars and even recommended books
  • Product reviews and Giveaways – opportunities to win products that we love and are must haves for moms
  • Deals – popular deals each week
  • Blogging and SEO tips from some of the gurus

Our mission for the site is to create a place for you, the readers.  Not a place to read about one person, but to share in the joys of many different people.  We want a community in which we can celebrate all that makes us unique and powerful as moms and most of all women.  I have met some remarkable women in my life and I am very excited to be able to share their power here on this site.

The best I can say right now is that we are both moms and love hanging out and sharing stories.  We look forward to learning more about you!  Join us in creating this into a site for everyone to feel at home and share their talents.

Give us some feedback, tell us what you want from the site.  What do you like to read about?  What interests you?  Who are some of your favorite bloggers?

    SO glad to meet you (new faces whoever you are, so mysterious ;) )
    I really enjoy Our Mommyhood – I found the community just as I was facing a breakdown from lack of community. We moved to Italy last year which should be amazing (and it can be) having only 2 people around me who speak english, one being an 18 month old and I was ready to throw in the towel. Our Mommyhood has been great.

    I love the first 3 topics. Especially celebrating women. I would love to hear and read more about Mom’s who are defining their role as mothers and women in a way that doesnt put them in one category or another. I say this because as a woman and becoming a mom my whole entire viewpoint of who I was shifted.

    Deals and product reviews are okay. There are a whole lot of deal blog out there – none that I follow. I think they are good, but as long as they dont take over.

    Personally I like to read about making it work. Momming, working (whether inside or outside the home), raising kids, dealing with grandparents, travelling with kids.

    Some of the “Mom” blogs I read are SimpleMom.net, LifeasMom.com, OurMommyhood. But I also enjoy craft blogs, lifestyle blogs, and financial blogs.

    If there is anything I can do to help you ladies out – I would love to be involved.

    Hope this helps :)

      Thank you Adrianne! It is so great to hear from you. I LOVE your feedback! If you are interested in doing some guest posts about life in Italy, I would LOVE them. I am so glad you are a part of our community and look forward to hearing more from you. I have taken you advice into consideration and think you are really going to LOVE the new content. I have a therapist coming on board who deals with the very topic of dealing with inlaws, grandparents, friends and even marriages. I have signed on three different crafters to share their work as well. I am a knitter and love to share as well. I hope to build some tutorials for certain crafts. Do you love certain types of crafts? Thank you so much! Stay tuned…..

      • I would love to do some posts about life in Italy.

        Ive actually been considering getting into doll making myself. For my daughters first birthday I made her a plush moose based on Nick Jr’s Moose and she loves it and since then Ive been itching to do more.

        So excited to see this site growing.

        • Editors - in - Chief:

          I would love to have some posts from you! Forward them over. I would love to hear more about Italy :)

  • I really excited about Bringing back home made. ALL the other topics are also wonderful. My only Idea is the condense the Review, Deals and giveaway as one. If there is a way to do a review, Do a giveaway for the product and offer a deal or coupon for those who just have to have it now or who do not win.
    What do you think?

  • I love the celebrating women…there should be much more of that (guest posts, news stories, etc.).
