I am excited to share with all of you wonderful readers some exciting news! The Whatever Mom Army continues to grow!
Starting TOMORROW you will see some new faces on my blog! You will see posts submitted by guest bloggers and contributors who are lending their voices to our incredible Whatever Mom community! Why is it important to have some new voices? Well, I know you could never get sick of hearing from me *wink* but my kids are growing and I am entering a new season of parenthood. In those really rough sleep deprived early months of life as a new mom, I never thought I’d get here. HERE I AM MAMAS!! One day you will be to!
My mission has always been to expose those struggles we all face as parents and ease the pressure to meet perfection. But, it wouldn’t be fair to my readers to only hear my struggles. There are new moms out there who need to know they are going to survive and they need to know there are other moms right there in the trenches with them. Mothering can be so hard. We put so much pressures on ourselves to make it all perfect.
Well, moms I am happy to share none of us are perfect. I want this site to be a place of comfort and understanding. Any parent in any stage of the game will find something they need. Whether it is connecting with someone else’s story, or a craft you need to keep the kids happy, or a recipe to hopefully get that picky eater to finally eat something (fingers crossed). Or, just simply a place to know you are not alone. We all struggle and that’s OK. *Breathe*
Thank you to everyone who reads each week. Truly, from the bottom of my heart I mean that! It is a dream come true to be able to write my thoughts down and send out to the masses. It amazes me each week that there are a couple thousand of you who look forward to what I have to say (my husband and two children do not count in that number, ha!). Someone once told me I couldn’t be a writer and I believed them. I also told myself I couldn’t be a good mom, and I believed that too. Thankfully, I was wrong on both accounts.
Guess what? You can find more really great moms to connect with right here in the very near future. Please check back often, or even better subscribe via email so you won’t miss a post again! You can also follow me on Facebook, Twitter and Bloglovin’. Just check out the sidebar for all those links. I love getting the chance to connect!
Happy reading!

How exciting!! I am looking forward to reading the articles that your guest posters write for you. A fresh perspective on things is always a good thing 🙂
SO exciting to grow and feature new writers! You have such a great blog with such a great idea behind it.
Thank you Kristen! I am hoping to grow a community where other mom bloggers can find a platform to share their voices.
What a helpful blog for moms to connect! I’m not a mom, but I will share with my friends who are! They’ll love it!

That’s so awesome! I think contributor blogs, especially mom blogs, are so beneficial to the community!
**throws confetti in the air** What a wonderful new adventure! I can’t wait to see all that the future brings for the mom community. Congratulations!!
Awe, thanks for celebrating with me! 😉
I love that you are giving new mums the opportunity to have there say because as you said being sleep deprived as a new mum is not fun. Congrats xx
Thanks! We all just want to be heard and connect. Motherhood can actually be a lonely place without a community behind you.

This is awesome! I am excited to see what things the guest writers bring to the table! Congratulations on the great step!
Sounds exciting. It will be a good mix of new and experienced moms. Yes, I remember the days that you thought would never end. 🙂
This sounds great. I will be checking and seeing when you start taking on guest posters. I am hoping to guest post on more blogs.
So excited to hear about the expansion! There’s nothing greater than watching your baby (website) grow! And of course your own kids, too. 🙂
Regardless what anyone has to say, you’re a great writer. And one heck of an awesome mom. May you day continue to be filled with positive thoughts.
How exciting! Everyone has a unique voice and story, and I love it when online communities allow moms to share different perspectives.
Sharing our differences let’s us know we have options in our parenting right? 😉
That’s awesome! It will be wonderful to see your reach grow with new people on the blog. What a fun journey! Glad to know there is light at the end of the tunnel from the early years as well 😉
We are so happy for you. Growth is such an amazing indication that you’re doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing. XO
Oh thank you! That’s a great perspective that I didn’t even think of! 😉
How exciting! I look forward to reading the new posts and getting to know your contributors. We are all in this together!
That is so exciting. I love that you want to share your platform with other moms who have something to say! I cant wait to read.
Congratulations on expanding the team. I know that it’s only going to get better and better. And I always try to prove the nay sayers wrong, even myself. 🙂
