Chelsea Kaplan’s Musings About Life... After Birth

After having my second child, I figured it was the perfect time to get a little “work” done - to the blog. This new and improved “look” comes courtesy of the amazing Joelle Reeder at Moxie Design Studios. Seriously, is it not totally adorable? And yes, that cute little brunette up there is a likeness of me (okay, a slightly skinnier me) holding my two sons (who look like their little cartoons too!). 

As far as the new(ish) title is concerned, I still can’t believe I’m somebody’s mother, but I find “The Momtourage” much more representative of how I envision the purpose of this new and improved site. Sure, there will still be all sorts of snarky posts about pop culture, recounts of my adventures with my Momtourage and product recommendations, but I’ll be adding posts featuring advice from the pros - a pediatrician, a child psychiatrist, an OB-GYN and a whole host of other specialists - because even though I might think I know everything, I don’t. I also be featuring many more contests and yes, more frequent posts.

One super-cool feature I’ve added is The Momtourage Mailbag, a monthly newsletter of sorts. I promise - it won’t be some annoyingly lame-o mom-tastic email that you’ll eventually find yourself deleting before you even read it like I do with Daily Candy. Instead, it will only come once a month, and only include cool stuff like bonus tips from our experts and special discount codes to use when you shop for our favorite products and from our favorite vendors. Additionally, when you sign up for the mailing list, you’ll be automatically entered to win our contests and giveaways. Ohhhh, the goodies I have to give away. Just wait!

The way I see it, as corny as it may sound, this blog is really about the larger Momtourage - the community of Moms across the country, so I want to create a forum where I not only share information with you, but you can also share it with me and everyone else who’s reading.

I can’t wait to hear what you think of our new look and hear your ideas on ways in which this blog can be more of what you want it to be. Post your comments below or shoot me an email at chelsea@themomtourage.com!
