I am the writer/owner of ‘MA! motherhood with attitude.’ The artist/owner of our company, Tiffany, will add her two cents on this blog now and then, as well. Tiffany and I often talk about the struggle to earn a buck through our freelancing as we also try to make the ‘MA! dream’ come true. Our mission is to expose ‘perfect parenting propaganda’ for what it is: hogwash! We adore imperfect parents (and embrace the fact that we are among them.)Welcome Redbook Readers!
We’re so happy that you’ve visited us! Read this blog for a discount code on our products and more about who we are!
So, Tiffany and I have to confess that this Redbook article is a big ding-dang deal to us. If you check out our press page, you’ll see that we’ve been in a lot of really great magazines and online outlets. But this is the first time that a humongous (2.2 million subscribers), mainstream (not mommy-centric), women’s magazine has pimped us. It’s amazingly gratifying for several reasons…
Most significant among those is that our message is hitting a much broader audience. And our message is this: “Perfect Parenting Propaganda” is bad for Mommy Sanity! We like to think of ourselves as the anti-perfect moms, and we revel in our imperfections. Every time someone out there says there is one “right” way to parent, we want to roll up our sleeves and help the kids smear applesauce on the walls.
A few things about us:
- We sell stuff! HILARIOUS, supportive, unique stuff! Check out our greeting cards, note cards, magnets and note pads. Tiffany is the artist and I am the writer and we create everything ourselves. (With more soon to come!) Please shop (and use the discount code below!) (Attention: Loyal readers who are not new to us via Redbook — Like, duh! Hop on the bandwagon and use that-there code, too!)
- We have some amazing Guest Bloggers! They write about raising autistic children, raising teenagers, raising twins, coping with post-partum depression, and spreading motherhood out between a college-age kid and a kindergartener! Our mission is to support moms and we believe these ladies’ voices are quite special.
- Join our newsletter! We announce big stuff (like this Redbook article and sale!) to our subscribers first and we always announce our sales to subscribers before anyone else.
AND NOW, THAT CODE: Simply type ‘redbook1′ in the discount code at checkout and receive 25% off your purchase! And all orders over $50 receive free shipping.
We’d love to hear from you. Comment on any of the blogs or just email Tiffany and me at ma@motherhoodwithattitude.com. You’ve joined a very supportive (and yet irreverent) motherhood group. Welcome!
