This week Mom-Stuff .com (the site with the hyphen) want to introduce you to Jamie at Looks Good in Polka Dots she will be the featured mom blog on my Mom-Stuff Blog Tour. She has a daughter who is gluten intolerant which has led her on a journey into gluten free food.
I am really excited to visit Jamie this week. We believe all of our moms will enjoy this week with her. Our blog tour has been so much fun I hate to see it come to an end. I need the break to get my taxes ready for my tax man. I hate tax time. The blog tour has been such a BIG success I am going to do it again in the future. So if you would like me to visit your blog contact me, Dianne@mom-stuff.com. TodayI want to share Jamie’s story with you about her daughter. This story is how I meet Jamie. I made a comment on her blog and she emailed me some very helpful advice. Jamie is the kind of mom I want to promote because she really wants to help other moms.

The Mom-Stuff Blog tour wants to share a creative post from the trenches of motherhood with you today. Mandy has a great gift of socialization. She brings moms together and lifts them up. It has been such an honor to be welcomed into her world this week. I have only given you a glimpse into her life. Make sure you visit her site, blogs and her Blogfrog community.
Traveling Activity with Quirky Momma

Rachel is mommy to three preschoolers and blogs about their learning activities and adventures at Quirky Momma. Her original mini-whiteboard post can be found on that site
I have three preschoolers and to say that it is a “struggle” to keep them entertained when traveling or at say a Dr. appointment is an understatement. I feel like we are finally getting to a place where keeping them engaged is easier. One of our favorite travel and diaperbag forms of entertainment/learning is our mini-whiteboards. They are super easy to make and can keep your kids entertained for 20-30 min at a time. I have even used them to write notes to myself when out and about or to keep track of a grocery list. This whiteboard is included in my post on 40 Tips to Travel with Preschoolers. (more…)

Mandy From The Trenches of Motherhood also has a book review blog. Today I want to feature a post from this blog. I can’t wait to read this book.
First of all, over at my book review blog (To Read, Or Not To Read) you can read about this family…

…and their amazing story. It’s sad, it’s touching, and it’s the story of strength and hope when life is hard. Really hard.

Mom-Stuff Blog of the week- From the Trenches of Motherhood. Mandy calls herself Trench Mommy. But as you will see in these posts I am sharing withyou today, she doesn’t allow herself to stay in the foxhole. She finds some motivation, she finds her strength, she makes a plan and then she follows through. The more time I spend on her site the more I find a mom who not only wants to thrive; she wants you to thrive too. She shares her process and invites you to join her. The first post Going Through the Motions was her motivation and her plan. The second post is the third week in this series, What if I had Given Everything. This post Getting Up On Time, is an example of her follow through. You can see each weeks goal and progress on her blog.
Going Through The Motions

This past year was one of the hardest years in my life. Maybe the hardest of all.
In an ironic twist, it seemed that every time this sweet baby was in the hospital, my own trials increased. (more…)

This week Mom-Stuff .com would like to introduce you to Mandy From the Trenches of Motherhood. Mandy has a large online presence and there is allot we can learn from her. Besides her great web site she has a blog and a blog frog community. We are having lots of fun visiting such great moms on our Mom-Stuff Blog Tour.
Meet Mandy
Who am I?
How do you share with a complete stranger who you are as a person? This is a daunting task, but I’ll give it my best effort and not just tell you about me, but show you who I am.
My name is Mandy. Although around here I refer to myself as “Mandy the Trench Mommy”. I’m very pleased to meet you!
I am in my late 20′s with the “30″ mark looming ahead of me. Part of me is sad to see this decade of my life come to a close. While growing up I dreamed of being in my 20′s. That awe-inducing era will soon be over.
But, who am I? (more…)

Mom-Stuff.com has a warning for our moms. Please help us spread the word. Do not make this mistake when searching for us DO NOT FORGET THE HYPHEN! When I bought mom-stuff.com web address mom stuff.com (with out the hyphen) was not available. Now that we have build up traffic the owner of this address has a site that is NOT MOM STUFF. I am not saying that moms do not like sex but I do not want you to be confused and think we are associated with this site or their content. I want all of you to be aware this is not a site I can endorse. We are not affiliated with it!!! Had this been a parenting site, as it was promoted on the search engine. I would not be concerned.
Now back to the Mom-Stuff Blog Tour.
I believe Michelle at the Adventures of Supermom is a kindred spirit. I have grown to love her passion for motherhood, her love of yarn but today I found something else we have in common. Neither one of us understand people who are obsessed with TV shows. Several weeks ago I visited Robin at Lolidots and she is a real fan of LOST. If you remember she even had a calendar on her blog counting down the days until the new season. I love the passion but I don’t get it. Michelle posted this story today that made me laugh. Michelle if it makes you feel better I understand you and I know I am not weird. Well maybe just a little weird. What do you guys think? Do you have a TV addiction? Help Michelle and I understand this strange human behavior.
Superdad made me feel all weird last night. (more…)

This week Mom-Stuff Blog Tour visits Michelle at the Adventures of Supermom. Michelle is a mother of four children ranging in age from a teenager to an infant She deal with a lot of things that mothers can relate to. Hormonal teenager behavior. Potty training. Taking a pacifier away. Trying to save money with a bigger family. She tells funny stories and gives helpful advice. She finds her blog to be a great place to express herself. I know you will really enjoy visiting her this week.

Meet Michelle
Hello. My name isn’t really Supermom, it’s Michelle. I don’t even think I would answer to Supermom. I do answer to Mommy, Mom and the sound of crying. That includes when someone is crying Mommy.
I started blogging online over 5 years ago. Before that it was the old fashioned way. Paper and pen. I try to be humorous. I try to be cool. My grammar sucks. I tell it like it is! I try not to cuss but sometimes a dammit or shit will sneak out into text. Forgive me. I learned how to slash through my words so they wouldn’t stick out so much.
I founded The Adventures of Supermom.com to write about having four kids and how busy life can get. I often refer to myself as June Cleaver with leopard print heels and pearls.

Today is our last day st Katherine Center’s blog. We hope you have enjoyed Katherine’s work as much as we have. I want to share with you Katherine’s process in writing a novel. If you have a novel in you I think you will enjoy this. posted Jan 8,2010 on Katherine’s blog, My New New Novel
About five minutes ago, I sent the first three chapters of my new novel to my editor at Random House. It doesn’t have a title yet, and it won’t come out until Spring 2012. But it’s a crazy thrill to have the beginning in solid shape, and to send it off for feedback.
I’ve been watching this new story unfold in little pieces in my head for a long time. I know a lot already about where it’s going in a broad way (though the details are always one surprise after another). But it’s pretty thrilling to see it all actually happen. Does that make sense? It’s one thing to know a character goes for a walk. But it’s another to actually write the scene and BE THERE.
Here are some photos of the writing I’ve been doing over the break. Just for fun. (more…)
