How many of you find yourself setting up a play date or blog task and completely forgetting what it is?  I spent all last week thinking it was a week before what it actually was.  I thought I had a week to promote the Wii Fit Mommies Forum Hunt, when in fact I had to actually START the Forum Hunt!

I was then introduced to Qlubb, the Mom-focused website that enables you to form your ‘Qlubb’ and share it with your family and friends.  I created the Cool Mom Guide Qlubb (naturally lol) and sent invites to my friends in the Wii Fit Mommies Forum, inviting them to join up to keep current on my website activities.  Password to join is ‘wiimoms’.

Since I run 3 blogs, I have a lot of different things happening.  I just ended a giveaway on this site, have one going on the Cool Mom Guide and am running a 5 day long Contest on the Cool Mom Guide to Fitness with the Wii Fit Mommies right now!

Next week, we’ll be announcing details for the upcoming Twitter Party on 2/13 and I’m headed to Blissdom 2/6 and want to know who’s coming with me.  All of this activity is hard to keep track of but now with Qlubb, my wonderful readers can log in and see my calendar to stay up to date on all the wonderful events and contests I have going on.

If you have a busy family schedule or blog of your own, Qlubb is the place for you.  You can start one just for your family and schedule who has soccer when and plan the family vacation, having one location for everyone to visit online to keep track of what’s going on.

You, too, can create your blog event calendar.  Invite me to join, I follow and read up on so many different blogs that I often can’t keep everything straight and would love to have a place to refer to so I know what ends (or starts) when.

Thanks so much to Team Mom for introducing me, and please join the Cool Mom Guide Qlubb to stay up to date on all my happy happenings!

Over the next few weeks, the Cool Mom Guide is Going Green and will be reviewing environmentally friendly products for both baby and mom!

Starting today, I’d like to announce the Cool Mom Guide Goes Green Giveaway, sponsored by ecostore USA!  One lucky winner will receive the entire Baby Care line, including Baby Wash, Massage Oil, Moisturizer, Nappy Balm, Shampoo, Sleepytime Bath and Soap!

Check back daily for a different review from the Cool Mom Guide Goes Green series.  Today’s review is of the Baby Shampoo, and I’ve done a great Video Review to show how great it is on my 9 month old baby! (more…)

If any of you have checked out my super cool and totally awesome Holiday Guide, you saw that I recommended you try out Vistaprint this Christmas.  I wanted to elaborate more on their products and services, since I really didn’t get to do it justice.

I’ve said this before-when I give gifts, I always gift from the heart.  I feel that spending time on a project far surpasses the amount of money spent.  When it comes to buying gifts for my parents and other friends and relatives, I like to create personalized gifts that capture our lives.  (more…)

Okay, so I haven’t felt this cool in a long time. I know technically, since I’m the Cool Mom Guide, I should feel cool constantly but that’s basically only with  my husband and children.  I never really thought anyone LIKED me (other than my dad, thanks Dr. B).  I know I have some regular readers and commenter’s, but I just assumed I stalked you all into reading me (and I’m grateful I did).

Well, I tuned in to the radio Show, The Classy Closet this morning.  The Classy Closet is hosted by Classy Jen “Keep it Real, but Keep it Classy”, Crassy Kadi “Piss on Proper Manners” and Diva Danielle “Ugly Shoes Make Me Cry!”.  I know you’re all familiar with one if not all of them.  They rule the blogosphere.  They have the Posh Point of View, Keep It Classy, Mommi Mafia, Cowgirl Chic, A Womb At the Inn (Sane) and that’s not even all of them!  They also run the Posh Parent with some friends and almost all of us are a part of that.  If you haven’t joined it yet, you should.  It’s so much fun!

Anyway, they just launched a daily blog show that airs at 9 am Pacific (which translates to 11 Central and noon East coast, took me a second to realize that.  Quite a few actually, considering I was staring at the computer at 11 my time and was freaking out when I realized it didn’t start for another hour).

This daily radio show features news and highlights from around the blogosphere.  I found out about Blogher ’09 (in Chicago this year) and learned about some really cool blogs I didn’t know about.  I got to hear them talk about my own blog, and some posts I’ve written, and that was the COOLEST FREAKIN’ THING EVER.

I suggest you check it out, I attached today’s show to this post (because I’m mentioned and it’s the COOLEST FREAKIN’ THING EVER).  These gals are super smart, super hot and super nice.  They urge us all to tune in daily and to contribute our own thoughts by calling 646-200-0503.  I haven’t called yet, because I’m stuck getting my kid at noon M-W-F, but one of these Tues or Thurs I’ll get the nerve up and give them a shout.  I hate the sound of my voice this time of year.  My sinuses make me sound like Janice on Friends.

So, again, check these gals out.  If you’re not familiar with any of their sites, feel free to explore them and get a feel for these Classy chicks.  I lack class, but I’m apparently Posh so I fit in quite well at the Posh Parent.  I want to thank Jen, Kadi and Danielle for thinking of me.  I’ll be listening to you tomorrow!

The Classy Closet: Meet: THE JIMMIES!!

The Classy Closet

One thing you can say about me is that I’m social.  I was social in school and I’m social now.  When I had kids, I joined every SAHM parenting meet-up.  I’ve been on Myspace and Facebook for years.  Once I entered the wonderful world of blogging, I learned of the term ‘Social Networks’ and yelped with glee.

I’m registered with Digg, Technorati and Stumbleupon.  You can find me at Twitter Moms, the Mom Bloggers Club and the Parent Place.  If there’s a place for me to meet and talk to people (while upping my site exposure) I’m on it.

A while back, I came across a new Social Bookmarking site called ‘Mommy Ranks‘.  They’ve recently undergone a site remodel and now it’s cooler than ever.  Mommy Ranks is like Digg for Moms.  It’s free to join, and you just submit a link, type up a summary and then people vote for you if they like you.

What’s more, the site uses screenshots of your site when you submit the article.  You can supply your own shot or the site will take the default shot of  your site to put up.

While I’ll still continue to use all the social bookmarking sites because I have a serious need to constantly socialize, I can say I prefer Mommy Ranks because I know it caters to the same reader base that I read-Moms.  Digg and Technorati are great, but it’s loaded with technical and entertainment blogs.  Mom blogs dominate Mommy Ranks.  I submit my material to the same readers who I’d read, so I know they enjoy reading my stuff as well.

When you get a spare moment, go sign up and explore Mommy Ranks.  You’ll be glad you did.  While you’re there, look for my screenshots and vote for me!!!
