Happy Mother’s Day! What better way to celebrate iMommies’ one-year Blogoversary than on Mother’s Day? I’m all about holidays - our first child was born on my favorite holiday (Christmas), our second child is a Thanksgiving birthday (every four years), our third child was born on National Reagan Day (we had to create a holiday for her!), and iMommies was born on Mother’s Day! It’s time to break out the party hats, cake, and…new logo!
Since Mother’s Day was on May 13th last year, our blogoversary is technically this Tuesday, but…Mother’s Day is much easier to remember…and, of course, it’s a holiday! It’s been a great year - we’ve gone from 20 unique monthly visitors to almost 30,000 last month, and those numbers continue to grow. What does that mean for iMommies? I don’t know…I guess it means we continue to grow! At any rate, iMommies has a brand new logo to celebrate the occasion, and that new logo will soon be incorporated into a brand new look. Here’s the old logo…fairly simple…just temporary word art…
NOW, here’s the new logo…
Now, THIS is my idea of a Mother’s Day gift! I love flowers and sapphires and diamonds and all kinds of gifts…but what I love most of all is…time. Time to enjoy the kids and their homemade Mother’s Day cards and gifts, time to relax and enjoy a clean house…just time, in general. Most of us moms spend our days in a constant rush to get things done, and by the time we reach the end of the day, we realize those things that absolutely needed to get done have now compounded themselves. So how does SitterCity help with Mother’s Day, time, and a clean house? In addition to providing local petsitters, housesitters, tutors, babysitters, nannies, and senior care providers, SitterCity also has a database of housekeepers!
From experience, I can tell you that no housekeeper will ever clean my house the way I do - they couldn’t. If they could, I couldn’t afford to pay all of the hours it would surely take them to do it my way. I’ve come to a realization, however, and it’s this: I can be perfectly happy with a little housekeeping assistance!
So here’s how SitterCity works: You search Sittercity’s caregiver database for providers in your area, or post a job and let the providers come to you! Sittercity’s four-step screening process includes free access to background checks and helps you choose the best provider for your family. They offer monthly and annual membership plans…AND a free 7-day trial…AND a 15% discount for iMommies readers!
For those of you who have been enjoying the free poster prints from Redwood Creek, they just added another to the collection. The latest addition is entitled, Pinot Noir, and up to four free posters may be ordered from each household, excluding residents of CT, KS, MT, and UT.
FYI - These are shipped in postal tubes, so you don’t have to worry about those awful fold creases.

March was really the best time to purchase this book, but if you missed it then, the best price I’ve found for May is $7.99 (with free shipping). The coupons within the book are worth hundreds of dollars at your local retailers, so well worth the cost…and still better than the retail price.
