We’re open to publishing guest posts! You’re welcome to get wild with your ideas (you never know when you might land on a gem) but this blog is geared to moms and the tone is upbeat, helpful, and entertaining. Our readers like lists, easy-to-implement solutions for real problems, and stuff that makes them laugh and feel warm fuzzies inside. We aren’t sappy like the Hallmark Channel, but we’re not gritty like Scary Mommy either. Think “get more sleep, feel less stressed, 10 ways all moms mess up and why it’s okay…” Stuff like that. Also easy family recipes and humorous pieces are welcome if you’ve got any of those laying around.
All guest posts include a short bio at the top with a link to your website. Here’s an example: 10 Bathroom Habits That Will Save Your Sanity
