Barefoot Dreams

Two blog posts in two days--a miracle. :)

Here's what prompted me to do it. I just came across a great blog. In fact, the blogger is just the sort of person I'd love to have writing for me (see the "calling all mom bloggers" post). Her post is, not surprisingly, about her discovery of the Barefoot Dreams line of clothes, blankets, and other goodies. Check it out here.

In case you're curious, here's what she wrote:

"This blog is for the ladies"

"O.k. girls. I have to give the skinny on all the new shopping fun that I have discovered. I'll go as far back as a year because I just opened up this my space. If you are a gentleman viewing this blog, then you may benefit for ideas for the lady in your life."

"1st and foremost: Barefoot Dreams. Oh My Gosh! Amazingly soft. I fell in love at first touch. The Barefoot Dreams Cozy Chic Collection is unbelievable. They sell blankets, V neck sweaters, zip up hoodies, slippers, and robes. If only they sold pants too. Unfortunately they don't yet. I live in these when I'm lounging around the house. You'll fall in love, who couldn't."

Couldn't have put it better myself. Thanks, Cassie! (And I'll pass on your request for pants next time I talk to the Barefoot Dreams folks.)

The Blogging Problem

I just launched our new Barefoot Dreams product line at the store, and i was thinking about how to blog about it. But then I hit the usual problem: I've got a million things to do for the launch, C is out of town with the babies, and she even wants me to paint the bedroom before she comes back. Whew! Sleep-deprived Dad is about to really find out how few winks he can get by on. Anyway, I'm finding it hard to allocate time for posting to my blogs, so I called my pal Dave Taylor.

The Blogging Solution

He and I were talking about how to find time to make posts to our blogs. When I bemoaned dthe fact that it's really hard for me and C to write these days, he suggested I tryto find some mom writers who might want another place to write and who might be interested in getting some free products from our designer blankets and baby clothing store, sleepytimestore.com. He even suggested that we just pay these mom bloggers outright because it provides us such a great service.

I think he's right.

The Offer

So here's my offer: any mom (or dad, or grandmother...) blogger who might be interested in contributing new, original posts to this blog on a regular basis, please email me at blogging@sleepytimestore.com. If you want free stuff from our store--which has really great baby and mom stuff--or if you want to be paid, I'm open to discussion.

My ideal mom blogger would have young children at home and would, of course, be a pretty good writer. Above all though, she would be someone who loved to write about her children and her life as a mother. You can probably tell from my wife's posts that that's how she is. But hey--you don't have to follow her style. I want you to have your own!

Spread the Word!

Please pass this offer along to any and all of your friends. It would be GREAT with me if i found 20 mom bloggers to contribute to this blog.

Talk to you soon!
