MommyMatter is a cool new website that's all about what matters to moms! I am pleased and excited to announce that I'll be contributing to their site. I'll be posting their at least several times per month (my personal goal is a weekly weekend post). I just finished writing my first piece for them and will be sure to let you know when it posts to their site. The title of my first MommyMatter piece? Raising "Good Citizens of the World".

In the meantime, cruise on over to MommyMatter to check out what they've got goin' on. Of course you can always get to MommyMatter by stopping here at CravingBaby and clicking on their ad on the left side of your screen or the link on the right side under "Great Web Sites".

If you're a mom who blogs... but you haven't joined the Mom Bloggers Club yet... you're missing out. This is a great social networking community as well as a website where you can get and give advice on blogging.

Its 100% free to join just like other social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook. But unlike those sites... the Mom Bloggers Club is all about moms that blog. Even though I am not yet a mom I recently joined and am enjoying meeting other ladies that blog. If you're a member be sure to "friend" me.

So I want to be a Baby Mama. There I said it. I want to be a baby mama. Big step for a girl like me. I've been married almost five years to a wonderful man, we live in a lovely neighborhood and I love my job... blah blah blah blah blah. Seriously, I know you're not interested in those pesky little details. The reason you're reading this is probably 'cuz you too want to be (or might already be) a baby mama. Now some people have warned me that naming my blog "The Baby Mama" might not be such a great idea because it can have a negative connotation. I let this worry me for about a minute... I then realized I like the name "The Baby Mama Blog", I think it's catchy... and I don't use derogatory terms or racial slurs... so if you think you're going to find that here... you're wrong. I just like the name... I think it's fun.

As a writer and a prospective mama, I wanted to have a blog where I could chronicle my journey from making the decision that I'm ready to be a baby mama through what I hope will be the birth of my wee babe... maybe even after. I also want to share with you what's going on around the net on other mom sites... 'cuz it's a lot to keep up with.

Being a bit of an internet addict I've read a lot of sites about getting pregnant, being pregnant, babies, etc. If you're not already aware, there are a lot of them. Oodles and Oodles of sites dispensing advice, reporting on new products, research, etc.

There are lots of mommy blogs... good ones and bad ones (let's hope this becomes a good one.)

That said, welcome to the Baby Mama.
