Mama FEATURE INFORMATION

First off, can I just tell you guys something?.... {Yes, Becky. Go on}
......You all are just absolutely amazing......

Secondly, when I wrote my post about the Mama Monday Features... I had never anticipated the feedback that I would get. Honestly, I was scared no one would even have the time to do the first feature since it was just a few days away.

And now my mailbox is blowing up. {And I love that}. And it just reconfirms my excitement for this whole thing.

The thing about us moms is we have tons and tons of great advice. Sometimes we may not even know it. The other thing? We have tons of questions. Some are better equipped in answering one question, while some the others. Thats the great thing about moms....we've all had different experiences, different babies, different pregnancies, and so forth. And by sharing those experiences we can all grow and learn from one another.

I love my mommy bloggeres. Each and every one of you. Some, I'm like super in love with {almost too much, hehe}, and others I am just starting to learn about.

Honestly, you all have taught me more than google has {and we all know my love for searching on google}.

That's the great thing about it. Not only will you all be exposed to other moms, other experiences, answers to questions, etc, but I will too. Sure, some {a lot} of these Mama bloggers I will know like the back of my hand.... but others will be just as fresh to me as they are to you.

That being said. There are a lot of you. More than I had anticipated.

As the emails pour in, I had to start counting... use my math skills...
holy shit.
that's a shit ton of weeks.
like months.
damn near a year

I want to feature all you mama bloggers. I don't care if you have 1 follower, or 1,000 (you go mama), we are equal in the sense that we all have a similar role in life; being a mother. Followers doesn't equate to the quality of advice that you may have to offer. 

At the same time, I want to be fair to everyone. It's silly of me to have 30 weeks worth of mama features lined up in my blogger and for those mamas to wait half a year for their feature to be posted.

Hell, by then, their 8 month old will be in college. {not really, but you get what I'm sayin}.

Your advice today, may differ 6 months ago.

So this is what I plan to do. To kick this thing off, I will do a 30 day Mama Feature (not including saturdays and sundays). {yes, that is a lot of work on my part, i know.}. After that, I will dwindle it down to just Mondays {as first mentioned}.

Each Sunday I will post about the "questions" that will be answered this week and the days of the featured Mama questions just to give readers a heads up for whats to come.

I will also add a TAB on my navigation (above) where I plan to add the questions {as we go along} with the feature so that future readers can catch up on all this fabulous Mama advice, and a way for them to find some awesome mama bloggers as well!

Lastly, I made a button, feel free to post it on the day that your feature is to send your readers this way. But please don't feel obligated to. I just wanted to make it easier (and cute I guess) for you. But again, not necessary to if you don't want to.
Oh yeah. That's the name of the feature... MEET THIS MAMA. I'm a genius, can't you tell?

Any questions? Leave a comment, or Email me!

Now I need to run off and start emailing more ladies back! I'm about halfway through... believe me, I have not forgotten about you if you haven't heard back from me yet. Raven, you especially! Haha! {name dropping}.

-------
**** CHECK YOUR EMAIL BOXES. I HAVE SENT MOST EVERYONE THE INFORMATION. YOU CAN ANSWER MORE THAN ONE OF THE LIST OF QUESTIONS... OR TALK ABOUT A TOPIC YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT (RELATED TO MOMMYHOOD) OR TELL US A FUNNY STORY! WHATEVER HELPS US LEARN A LITTLE MORE ABOUT YOU!
