Hello,
I have just started a website dedicated to all women. I would love to have a link or post on your website. womanimse.com offers interesting daily topics, contests, celebrity news, finance, employment, dating, all about mommies, and much more. Thanks so much for your time
Love this site, it’s been so much help to me as a mother. I thought I would make a recommendation for you and your readers: the movie The Great Mother. It’s a documentary about the Dalai Lama’s mother, and it’s super good and well done, and is about motherhood in general as well. It was great to hear such an amazing spiritual and political leader so humbled when talking about the nature of the mother, he says that mother is the first teacher, of kindness, compassion, foregiveness, do’s + don’ts and how to be with each other, and in this way mother is before religion. I thought it was nice to see him give mama her due, and I also loved the way the Great Mother archetype is examined in the film, and how what it means to be a mother, spiritually, is the focus. You can buy copies on the website and also find out when the film airs on PBS. I’d love to have a link or review on the site so please let me know if that’s possible!
I can offer some giveaways of this Pediatrician in your pocket iPhone app!
Please send along your ad rate info.
I recently found your site and as a mom based business I would like to advertise on your site
thanks

Hey Janice & Susan,
Times are tough and stay-at-home moms, now more than ever, are looking for a way to make ends meet. Most of them never think they’d get an opportunity to earn money helping to save someone’s life. Well, that’s just what you can do by joining Become My Hero, a growing army of people dedicated to keeping a lot of deserving people from dying.
Become My Hero is the World’s Largest Cord Blood Donor Recruiter Network. For those who can’t find a bone marrow match in a public registry, the blood present in the umbilical cord is a rich source of the same stem cells. Cord blood transplants, however, do not cause the same life-threatening Graft Versus Host response that frequently occurs with a bone marrow transplant. This means one’s chance to surviving their transplant is much greater, as well as beating their disease (cord blood is now being used to treat over 80 conditions). It’s basically just a better way of doing things!
Our team uses a rigorous, scientific approach to tell recruiters what type of donor to look for. We then provide them with client brochures and promotional materials. From there, recruiters give or email the brochure to pregnant women they believe are having babies that fit the bill among their friends, family, online social networks and even people they pass by in the streets, malls and grocery stores. Our recruiters the receive $1,000 when a client has a transplant using a cord blood donor they recruited.
For more info, please visit BecomeMyHero.net or email lauren@becomemyhero.net. Don’t forget to join our Facebook group!

My name is Melissa Carver and I have a website called Your Frugal Gourmet that I am trying to promote. I design recipes around grocery store sale ads and coupons that are on the internet and in the Sunday paper. I change recipes every week and there are 6-7 recipes posted each week. Most of the recipes save on average 50%-75% on your grocery bill. I am interested in advertising on your site in hopes to get more traffic to and awareness of my website. Thank you for offering this opportunity for moms like me that are stay at home moms running their own business.
