Calling all Mom Bloggers!
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!

Hi Scott: Great looking blog and site! Both our children are grown and out of the house, but I remember those days well. There were times when I took care of the 3 and 1 year old for a week at a time. Talk about work!
Thanks, Ron

What a great site. I'm a mom with boys a bit older (9 & 11) and I'm happy to say that you do eventually do get some sleep. What I did find helpful and still do is taking a nutritional supplement with the added extra vitamins and minerals our body needs. I found that I got sick less and just felt overall better. If you would like more information on a QUALITY nutritional supplement you can visit us at www.nutritionalsupplementscenter.com Karen

Greetings!!
Great site that you have here. I found you from 5 Minutes For Mom. Those women are fabulous! I, like Stacy (above comment) have a two year old, Sophia, & a blog, at http://www.omamamia.com . I love to read & write. But most of all, I just love being a Mommy. I'd love to know a little more details about what you're looking for, in a writer. I look forward to hearing from you. Meanwhile, I'm going to wander around your site, some more.
