I don’t believe I am a traditional “mommy blogger” by any means. I like to “tell” you all about the personal side of my life - the woman side - not just the mommy side. There is no fluff or filler, you get the real, honest me.
Then when Mom Bloggers Club popped up, I wasn’t too sure if I should sign on to the online community of mommy bloggers. Well, I am glad I did, but I think it should be more about like-minded women bloggers, that just happen to be moms too.
That is one thing I really liked about the community at Mom Bloggers Club, it really focuses on the women behind the blogs. What drives them, what helps them to create great content, and what life is about for them. Sure, some “momminess” is thrown in, but I would say it is less about the mom, and more about the woman in the mom.
Another great thing I love about MBC, the community. Yes, for once a community where the members ACTUALLY participate. I get comments and receive tips from the members and have made some great blogging friends by joining. Many that I keep up with on Twitter and FriendFeed.
This is definitely a community that reaches out to it’s members and trust me, members reach back!
If you haven’t already gotten on the MBC fascination, then hurry up and get on. You are missing a great time!
TTFN ~

Random Acts of Kindness Week, February 12 - 18, is simply just that - a week for everyone to celebrate kindness, given and received. There is no catch to this, nothing but wanting to make someones day a bit brighter by committing to one random act of kindness during this week. Don’t forget, if you receive and act of kindness - pay it forward!
Unsure of some ideas? Follow some ideas offered by the web site for both adults and children. These are simple ideas that you will be able to do with ease. There is always paying a little more at the drive thru in the morning for coffee to pay for the car behind you. You will be surprised at the kindness forwarded by your one token of generosity.
The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation offers a great web site for children, parents, and teachers to learn about teaching the importance of giving and kindness. The site offers graphics, such as bookmarks and postcards that you can use, as well as downloads that can be used as part of a school lesson or even at home as a family activity.
What are you thinking will be your random act of kindness?

Being fairly new to the blogging world and all the ins-and-outs of what happens and the many things that go on, I found it a fluke when I happened by the blog 5 Minutes for Mom and their post about The Ultimate Blog Party. 5 Minutes for Mom is hosting an ultimate get together for women bloggers everywhere to rally in a sense of community for meeting new people and discovering new blogs.
Not only will you be meeting tons of new people, you can also enter to win tons of free prizes! 5 Minutes for Mom has pretty much thought of everything - and it is a great idea! Just imagine the the experience you will have meeting new people, gaining some new ideas, and best of all - making some great friends.
Stop by 5 Minutes for Mom and get all the details!
