Meet the NEW Mamma Media Elite Members!

Super Exciting News!

I got some super exciting news this week – I was chosen to be an Elite member of Mamma Media! I was so surprised when I got the notice – and really happy to be part of such a great group of amazing woman bloggers!

What is Mamma Media?

Mamma Media is a panel of mom bloggers with superb writing and organizing skills who have teamed up to offer businesses strong public relations exposure in the form of one or more campaigns.

Two Divisions of Bloggers

Mamma Media consists of two divisions–Mamma Media Elite and Mamma Media Mavens. The Mamma Media Elite division contains 6 mom bloggers who lead the entire panel by ensuring ethical practices are maintained, heading events, reviewing products or services, and penning PR posts. The Mamma Media Mavens division provide content for their readers that serves as advertising for businesses (which may also include product/service reviews or paid posts).

Is this cool, or what?

I’m really excited to be a part of this team – and am looking forward to working with the other wonderful ladies too. You can check it out too –

Are you a business who’d like to work with the Mamma Media Team? Contact them for more information today!

Thirsty For Comments Blog Hop!! {Join the Fun!}

Thirsty For Comments Thursdays!!

I’ve joined in on a super fun new blog hop called Thirsty for Comments Thursdays. This is a really great way to meet some new bloggin’ buddies! And… I was featured this week, how cool is that, right? Problem is – I’m a jerk. I’ve been so overwhelmed-crazy-can’t-keep-up-busy the past couple of weeks, I totally forget to post and share this great hop with you guys too!

Better late than never, right?

So, even though this started on Thursday, I wanted to share it with you now! You can learn more and grab the button over on Acting Balanced – and then link up, visit some amazing sites, and leave some meaningful comments. We all love getting “real” comments, so take the time to really read some posts, and connect with some of the bloggers on the list.

This is a blog hop dedicated to giving good comment – please, when you are visiting, actually READ the post that is linked and make a thoughtful comment!
This is NOT a hop for “I’m here from the hop, follow me back” comments!

Link up your own SPECIFIC POST that you’d like comments on – remember – no giveaways!

The rules are simple –

Link up a SPECIFIC POST (NOT just your blog URL) that you’d like to have more comments on – can be anything EXCEPT GIVEAWAYS and OTHER BLOG HOPS – they will be deleted
Visit AT LEAST THREE other blogs and READ the posts and then comment thoughtfully on the post.
