Mommy bloggers get more traffic to your blog

Alot of people join the top sites list in hopes to bring lots of new promised traffic to their site but rarely do these top sites do just that. Most of you are more concerned about what your ranking is rather than finding new blogs to read. So that means less new readers for you too. Top sites lists generally bring in traffic to the top sites list and they rank well in the search engines from all the incoming direct links from all of us that have put the code on our site. So, basically only the first page or so of blog top sites is getting traffic.

After reading this post, I decided I'd jump on the bandwagon that is blogtopsites.com and sign up my blog. I figured I'd could use a new comment or two since I've been lacking in the getting of comments lately. I'm assuming, though, that it's more due to my boring posts than my lack of traffic. I'll blame it on the fact that I'm just not that interesting.

Anyway, I signed up two days only to realize that my blog was in the 500's. Is anyone actually looking in the 500s? I don't think so...

To be exact, I started out as blog #559 2 days ago. I figured that it would take me, oh, about 5 years to get to the front page and by that time no one would even be reading blogs. Hell, no one may be reading blogs in 2 years. Who knows?

Well, surprise surprise! I woke up this morning with a #55 ranking. That's some crazy formula they are using. It's only taken me 2 days to "almost" get on the first page. Now I know it is screwed up but maybe there is something to Kristen's formula seeing as I'm getting lots of good sex lately.

Anyway, if you want more traffic to your blog or sites, don't rely solely on top sites scripts. Here are a few tips for more FREE traffic.

1.) Article Marketing. Article marketing is all about writing articles and submitting them to the hundreds of article directories out there. You can get your articles, of any kind, posted for free on these sites. What's great is that you can put your byline and a link back to your site on every article you submit. Article marketing helps you in several ways and you can read more HERE

2.) Link. Create a reciprocal link blogroll with other sites like your own. It's that simple. If you don't want a long blogroll on your main page then put it on another page or even create a link directory.

3.) Blog and Comment frequently. Fresh unique content on your blog is great. Search engines love new content. Commenting helps bring more visitors to your site and chances are that some of them will find you and stay.


Ok. Enough lessons for the day. If you already knew all of this, I'm sorry to rehash it here but I think many of you could benefit from it.

Mommy Guilt

It’s not something that is explained in books or by other seasoned moms. When life is growing inside of you, the “what to expect” series is more often than not by your nightstand and when the baby is born, the “what to expect the first year” is next in line. No where in those books is mommy guilt explained. It’s also not one of those things that other mothers often talk about even though it is in the back of all our minds and it consumes us.

No one tells us it’s ok to feel guilty and no one tells us that we really shouldn’t feel guilty over taking time for ourselves. We find out on our own that we are most likely going to feel guilty over everything we do or don’t do if we don’t think we are doing it right.

Many moms are in constant fear that what they are doing could harm their children in the long run. I am one of those moms who constantly worries what if I said the wrong thing to my children, what if we didn’t spend enough time outside today, or what if I didn’t involve them in enough activities and on and on…

So in the hopes that I will help myself feel better and lift some mommy guilt, I am here to tell you that it’s ok to take time for yourself and not feel guilty about it. We will all be better mothers because of it.

It’s ok to take an hour for yourself and just lie around and watch TV.
It’s ok to have a night out alone with your husband without the kids.
It’s ok to have a night out alone without the husband or the kids (um, seriously). LOL.
It’s ok to splurge on yourself every now and then.
It’s ok if you don’t feel like reading the book for the tenth time or don’t feel like playing the game this time around.
And, the list could go on and on…


I feel like if I am feeling particularly guilty then I am giving more of myself than ever to my kids by overextending myself and by lavishing them with unnecessary gifts. This could possibly do more harm than good to my kids because it isn’t realistic. I feel like I need to do this to get rid of the guilt. If I just take time for me in the first place then this won’t be an issue and everything would be more in balance.

Either way, we all know it is easier said than done but I’m trying to be ok with being me.

Most of all I want my kids to grow up and not need a therapist. Who doesn’t? Even though it sounds weird saying that, it is a valid fear. I want my kids to feel like they can come to me for anything and I want them to really know that I love them with everything inside of me and I would do anything for them.

Why Does This Happen To Me?

I woke up at 6am this morning so that I could be up before everyone else in the house and have some quiet time with just me, my coffee, and my computer. This is part of my new, more productive schedule. I need to get caught up on all my work since I am lagging behind just a little bit. Seriously, it's not that bad.

So, as I'm getting up out of bed, I hear a little voice say, "Mommy, hold you".

And that means that my two year old is NOT going back to sleep anytime soon.

Instead of quiet coffee time, I got to drink my coffee with the Wiggles. Right now my son is sitting here beside my desk playing with some toy cars. He keeps asking me to play but I keep saying that mommy really does need to work this morning. I feel bad for saying no but if I get it all done now I'll have the rest of the day to play and take my boys outside (if it doesn't rain again).

Why I feel bad I don't know? Working is a part of life and he will survive by playing on his own but that doesn't make the guilt or feeling like I am the not-so-good mommy right now go away.

The Wedding Ooh! Aah!

My BIL's wedding was beautiful and as planned except for a few minor things LIKE the hubs losing the rings and our gift to the bride & groom, wrong size shoes, and clothes falling off. Oh, I could go on... LOL...really though everything was wonderful.

Both of our boys did AMAZING and our 2 year old even wore his tuxedo. However, he pulled his pants off about 1 minute after he did his walk down the isle. Our 5 year old did his job as ring bearer very well. He was one focused little guy.

As far as my dress dilemna, I got over it really quick and decided on wearing dressy capris and a white top instead when I found out how long I was going to have to be there. I just wanted to be comfortable since we had to be there from 1pm to 9pm (not including the time it took us to get ready and drive there). Um, yeah, that was the longest I have ever had to be at a wedding & reception. But we had fun in between tantrums, tiredness, and all of the events above! My feet are still hurting and my big toes are in pain from wearing big high heels that long.

And now I'll quit complaining so you can see a few pictures that I took. I can't wait to see the professional pictures of everyone. We even snuck in a few family photos of me, the hubs, and our boys. I hope they turned out good. I'll post them when I get them if I can.

Makeup & Dresses...

I'm having serious issues with makeup and dresses...

Check my issues out over HERE


It's Friday. I'm leaving for the weekend in a few hours so that's all I've got. Oh, and I chickend out of a hair appointment today too. I was supposed to go get my hair highlighted. I had a two color honey & red color picked out. I just couldn't do it today before the wedding. I might do it next week. We shall see...

**Edited To Add

*Oh, and I also wanted to show off the hubs HOT new tattoos...these stars and our boys names.

Almost Losing Someone You Love...

I've been relatively lucky so far in my life. I'm almost 30 and have never had to experience the death of someone that I love. I have had distant relatives, a grandfather I didnt really know and classmates die around me but no one that I have been truly close to (which is very few people). So I don't know what losing someone you love feels like but I do know what almost losing someone you love feels like and I know that losing them cannot even be explained in words.

My dad had heart surgery yesterday after having a heart attack. No one in my family informed me of this until the surgery actually started. I was upset with my Mom for not telling me that my Dad was sick. I was upset with both of them for not thinking it was a big deal but it was a big deal to me. All I could think was what if something had gone wrong in surgery?

As soon as the hubs got home from work, we got our boys ready and rushed to the hospital an hour and a half away. I was in tears when I saw my Dad but again they (my mom & dad) didn't think it was that big of deal or if they did they didn't show it, and everyone was wondering why I was upset. How could I not be upset? How could I not be in tears? I have tears forming as I write this and I'm an emotional mess even though I know dad is ok now. I'm not sure if I am crying because I feel so disconnected from my parents or because my Dad could have died. Well, actually, I know it's both. I can't imagine losing him right now because I actually feel like I just got him back. He is NOW the Dad that I have always wanted and needed and I'm his little girl.

Our Newest Member of the Family...

Last week we found out that we were going to be proud new parents again. I bet you were wondering why I haven't told you sooner. We are going to be proud new parents to a cute little kitten, that is! A kitten name ...Harry...um, no Woody...um, I mean...Socks (or sock, I dont know)...

The above mentioned cat is cute and crazy (emphasis on CRAZY). I'm now pretty sure that is why the cat was given to us. We now know why you all were so eager to give us this devil-kitty.

Anyhow, our boys are loving it and simultaneously torturing it by carrying it around by it's tail or ear. And, I've only kicked it out of my bed 14,000 times but we are still enjoying it (Thanks L & M).

Here is a photo of our oldest holding the kitten and proof that the cat is, indeed, still alive.



In other news, everyone in our home has some kind of sickness and our 2 year old has it the worst. I hope we all get over it soon because we have a wedding to attend this saturday and all of my men are in the wedding. Hubs is the best man, 5 year old is the ring bearer, and the 2 year old is the mini groom. I'm thinking that our 2 year old will not go through with his part no matter what. We have tried to put a tuxedo on him twice and we haven't been successful. You would think we were putting a straight jacket on him instead of a tuxedo. He hates it so I'm going to go buy a dressy shorts outfit instead.

Ok...off to work...oh, I think I have found a solution to my last post. I'm hoping I can stick to this new schedule I came up with. I'll try and post my schedule sometime this week. Happy Monday!

Separating Work From Home...

Do you ever just feel like you are doing so much and can never catch up no matter what? You never get any breaks and nothing ever seems to get done and you get to a point where you are just burnt out. Burnt out on what exactly I don't know. I guess just burnt out in general.

I feel like this lately (just BLAH) even though I just came back from a three day break. I feel like I need another break. I'm not depressed. I'm not anxious. I'm quite happy actually but I'm just STUCK. Maybe that is not the right word. I feel like no matter what I am doing I am never really taking a break for just me. I think a large part of it has to do with the fact that I work from home and I tend to have trouble separating work from home life. I work in the mornings while the kids have breakfast. I don't usually sit down and just enjoy my coffee and breakfast anymore. I eat while I work. When I take the kids outside, I sit down and usually work. After dinner and late at night I usually work. Lately I just havent allowed myself to be in the now and I know it is my fault for having a bad schedule and bad time management as well as just an overall compulsion to work more or just use the computer mainly because I blog personally, I blog professionally, I own several websites and I work in marketing for a company at home(as of two weeks ago). I have overextended myself. I seriously need to setup and stick with a home work schedule that allows me a whole lot more free time since that is the whole point of working at home ( or atleast for me anyway).
Does anyone else feel like this? Anyone got any good schedule ideas? Something I could actually stick to? Want to complain along with me?

I Suck At This Lately...

Moms On Relationship Issues

Almost everyone in a romantic relationship has issues. Hell, I have issues OFTEN. We all do.

Anyway, I found this cool new site where three moms are dishing on relationships, giving advice and telling their stories. I am in love with it! You should go see what it's all about. They are The Relationship Moms and they are giving out Free Relationship Advice in a fun and frank way. If you are looking for that site that talks about EVERYTHING then I suggest you go take a peek.

Even bloggingbaby wrote about it.

Mamalama Ding Dong Virtual Book Tour Stop #12

I’m stop #12 for Ayun Halliday’s virtual book tour of Mamalama Dingdong. I was thrilled to be asked to be a part of this 31 day virtual book tour. Before receiving the email and book I had never heard of Ayun but boy am I glad they found me and my little ole’ blog

While reading the book, I kept coming back to how glamorous her life sounded while living with 2 kids in New York City. She makes me want to leave for NYC today and lug my kids around just so I can feel glamorous too!

I think I love Ayun Halliday already and I think you should go buy her book Mamalama Ding Dong (Big Rumpus in U.S.).

But if you are not convinced by that statement alone then I suggest you keep on reading as I have included my favorite excerpt from the book and my interview with Ayun.

When I got to this part in the book I couldn’t stop laughing. Excerpt from Mamalama Ding Dong:

“Staying at home to raise children is like getting off the graveyard shift at Burger King with fifteen minutes to make it to my second job in the coal mines. Of course, once a week I am summoned from the mine shaft to accept the Nobel Prize, but goddamnit, I earn those. My meals, my baths, and any activity involving a pen are accomplished as best as they can with people wriggling on my lap; rooting for my breasts; requesting the millionth retelling of lurid, accidentally overheard medical anecdotes; exacting promises, puking, peeing and knocking over glasses of soy milk".

I also interviewed Ayun on a personal matter in which many of you can relate and on a recent controversy. You have got to hear her responses. They are brilliant and as usual just plain funny...

Interview With Ayun Halliday:

Petite Mommy: As a fellow work at home mom, I seem to have trouble
balancing working from home and also being a stay at
home mom, what is your viewpoint on this?

Ayun: In ways I found it easiest when my daily – and only - chance of grabbing the brass work-at-home ring was that golden hour or two when the baby conked out for his or her nap. The stinginess of those parameters helped me to focus on my work, disarming the siren songs of the phone, the Internet, and the refrigerator. By the time Milo appeared on the scene, Inky was attending nursery school, so except on holidays, weekends, vacations, and sick days, I never had to deal with another little kid sabotaging the work-potential of the baby's glorious naps. I think it also helped that I’m my own boss (or so my publishers allow me to think), i.e. there was rarely any serious temptation to hire a babysitter or plop the feral in front of the tube for hours on end, just to meet some arbitrary jive ass deadline.

Also, as far as keeping every plate in the air goes, motherhood has made me into a seriously neglectful housekeeper. What little time I had to myself in those early days, I split between the children and my writing. The children got the lion’s share. The bathroom floor got zilch. Now that I have more time both kids attend the public school across the street, I find I’m still loath to get out the mop. I figure I owe it to myself to take some of that vacation time I let pile up during the diaper and titty years. I’ve rediscovered hobbies I considered long dead, such as matinees, lunch and browsing at the Salvation Army. I love my boulevardier existence. It makes me feel like a real writer, like Wallace Shawn, somebody who probably never had to worry about squeezing the work schedule into an all-to-brief naptime. Greg and I have been lucky enough to be living off the fat of his play, Urinetown, for the past few years, but knowing that that cow could dry up any day now, I don’t want to spend all my time inside the anthill, you know? Good lord, that was like, what, three metaphors in one sentence?

Petite Mommy: And, what do you think of the controversy over the
naked breast on the recent parenting magazine, Baby
Talk?

Ayun: Remarkably, Greg scooped me on this flap! I had fallen off the grid a bit because we were on vacation when the story broke, but somehow he got wind of it and brought it up because he figured I could clear up what all the controversy was about. Like some secret woman taboo had been breached, and only one with the appropriate gear in her tackle box could make sense of it. “Is it because the breast is exposed?” he ventured, completely stumped. Good man. By now, he is completely inured to the sight of nursing friends clawing their bras aside so their babies can latch on. And if you look at that cover, that chunky-cheeked baby head provides much fuller coverage than the superfluous n’ sleazy suspender straps or carefully placed model fingers blocking the nips on the covers of Maxim, Cosmopolitan, or any of the gentlemen’s magazines clipped to the eaves of our local newsstand. I did a little research, expecting to learn that religious fundamentalists or the so-called Child-Free movement was leading the charge, but from what I can tell, much of the indignation came from Baby Talk readers! One woman said she ripped the cover off because she didn’t want her husband to see it! Okay:

I’m glad her husband ain’t the father of MY children.
I’m gladder still that I ain’t her, because it would drive me insane to live with that big of a rod up my heiner and She should consider herself lucky that she doesn’t subscribe to Bitch because there was a similar but much, much smaller brouhaha in their letters section, when the staff ran a full page ad for a sex toy store on the back cover, featuring an enormous, lifelike, and if memory serves, bright purple dildo. I recall one subscriber respectfully submitted that it wasn’t that she didn’t want her teenage son to son to know about sex – they’d moved on from where babies come from to masturbation as a normal, healthy activity – only that she’d have preferred to have some say so as to when the time was right to educate him as to the whole sub-category of vibrating, penis-shaped things that can be introduced into one’s holes for erotic recreation. The editors took this and other comments and decided to save the sex toy ads for the inside cover. Problem solved with grace and humility.

I guess what I’m saying is, I could understand the outcry if the editors of Baby Talk had placed a big silicone schlong on the cover, but I find it obscene that so many Baby Talk readers can’t handle a Western breast caught in the act of what is to me, an entirely wholesome activity. The hipMama crowd wouldn’t have batted an eyelash.

I think Baby Talk should run the exact same cover, Photoshopping a bottle in for the breast. See what that stirs up. Maybe controversy, but not "disgust". I swear to god, it makes me want to come out like a bitin' sow.

Petite Mommy: Thank you so much for your time

Ayun: No, thank YOU!

Petite Mommy: I have to say that this is probably the funniest
and most realistic mothering book I've ever read. I
think pregnant women should put down those parenting
books and pick this one up to see what being a mother
is really all about. :)

Ayun: Thank you some more! I think you should see if the Sunday New York Times would let you review books from home! Put me down for a big fat glowing reference!

I have to say that last part cracks me up every time I read it. Anyway, feel free to visit all the blogs on her virtual book tour. Ayun sure picked a great group!

I'll just blame this entry on that extra coffee I had...

I was watching a rerun of Dawson's Creek this morning with the hubs before the kids got up and it reminded me of my pre-kids life. The actual episode didn't remind me but the act of watching that specific show undisturbed did. It's funny how I thought then that I was just soooo busy. Ha! That life was EASY! Nothing about that former life could prepare me for my life now.

My biggest concern back then was dying my hair the correct color of blonde and making sure my "hooker" boots matched my outfits. Not that I despise those kinds of boots now but can you imagine a petite mom like me wearing hookerish boots while holding a 2 year old on her hip with a 5 year old by her side. We'd surely look like we escaped from the circus!

The things I am dealing with now just don't compare. Not that I expected them to but...I'm just saying. Do I make any sense here?

Anyway, back to reality here, I am currently dealing with a 2 year old that doesn't like diapers or the potty so he pees throughout the entire house. He reminds me of a little puppy named Magenta (an obsession with blues clues) that we got our oldest son when he was 2 years old. Well, needless to say, we took it back and exchanged it for a cat. I guess I can't exchange* my child huh? I wonder if I took him to the Humane Society if they would give me a cute little cat instead. You think they would?

I'm also dealing with a 5 year old who thinks for some reason that he is the parent and that he doesn't have to do anything we tell him to. I am at a loss on how to deal with this. It's actually just started in the past week and I know we need to deal with it NOW. I feel like I am doing all I can. You think I could trade him in too? Since he's so big maybe they'd give me one of those big dogs and a cat. Wait, I don't want a dog. They’re more work than a child.
Ok. The end.

*Any comparison of a child and a dog above is a joke and any reference to exchanging my son for a cat and the other for a dog+cat is purely a joke. It kind of makes it not funny when I have to add this little note to the end but sometimes the way I write doesn't sound so funny so I figured it would be helpful to incude this footnote for the crazies. I do love my children. I really really do and would never harm them.

The Beauty of Siblings

I love that my two year old is learning so much from his five year old brother.

I love that they take comfort in each other.

I love that they play together so well ( most of the time).

I love to watch when they cuddle up beside each other and watch cartoons or read a book.

I love when they make each other laugh so hard that it is the most beautiful & uplifting sound you could ever hear.

I love it when the five year old tells the two year old a secret and they giggle. It's beyond precious.

I love it when our five year old says, "No, you can't take my brother" when a relative asks to take him for the night.

I hope that when they get older things will still be the same. They will need each other.

You Know This is a Mom Blog When...

You know you have a mom blog when...

you can't stop posting pictures of your kids even though you know everyone on your blogroll really probably doesn't want to see anymore because they've already seen 2,756,423 pictures of them already.

Ah, but that won't keep me from posting so here's some from our weekend here in good ol (dare I say) sort of Northeastern Kentucky...







Oh and don't forget to visit me here today...I'm ranting about being mommy.

Mommy Music???

If I'm feeling down all I have to do is turn on some music. If the hubs knows I'm in a bad mood he will turn on some music that he knows I like and it usually makes me feel better. Music is therapeutic.

While John Mayer, Gavin Degraw, Johnny Lang, and Marc Broussard are among my favorites, I can also be found listening to Seether, Hinder, and Shinedown that the rockers (Hubs & The 5 year old) in my house have bestowed upon me. I can get into just about any kind of music and Top 40 type music works for me too. I'm also all about the dance/r&b music. I love dancing around to this music especially when I'm busy cleaning. LOL. Yesterday I was dancing to some music and my 5 year old said. "Mom, your freaking me out".

What are some of your favorite songs out right now? Does anyone else dance around the house to "You & Me' by Ciara or "Sexy Back" by Justin Timberlake, OR are we mommies too old to be doing that?

If you aren't listening to any of that then what are you listening to? Is there some kind of mommy music that I dont know about? Sure, we all know we are supposed to listen to that kids bop crap with the kids but I have a confession to make, I can't handle that stuff so my kids listen to whatever I listen to and they like it.

Busy Mommy!

The title says it all. I've been very busy lately so I have NOTHING for today except to say that I'm busy and my two boys need me. Have a wonderful weekend.

Oh, and go visit me over at RealSavvyMoms. You can finally sign in and comment. I'm thrilled.

Oh and does anyone know who won HOH? Please let it be James...

Leaving Children In Hot Cars..

I was reading the local news today and came across a heartbreaking story of an 18 month old who had died of heat exhaustion in a car. My heart goes out to this family and to any familiy that has experienced a loss of a child. I cannot even begin to imagine the pain. It's hard enough to even read the stories or watch the news, and when I do I hold my children close. It is these things that get to me.

Seventeen children have died this summer by being left in a hot car. I truly do not understand this. I don't understand how a parent could forget their child in a hot car. I know we all forget things and we all make mistakes but how can you forget your child? I have made many mistakes in my life and I forget things constantly but the reason that I forget the OTHER things is because I'm always thinking of my two boys first. They are always first.

I'm not sure what else to say.

I HEART ChillTown...

While many in the blogosphere are talking about "mommy blogging" in the blogosphere or atleast in the blogs that I frequent, I'm going to talk about something a little less serious and a little more geeky possibly even boring since I don't think many of you watch BB or if you do you just didn't tell me. LOL. Anyway, I'll share my thoughts on "mommy blogging" later this week if I get the time.

For those of you tuned into BB All-stars, what did you think last night? Was that not hilarious? Season 6 has had the opportunity to evict chill town every week and every week they end up doing something different. I think it's just too funny especially the ending with Mike & Will ( BB's version of Dr. McDreamy). They are without a doubt the best players in the game. While Mike Boogie is not among my favorites, I like him in combination with Will. Will & James are my real favorites. How can you NOT like Will & James? Some people think Will is cocky. I think he's crazy-funny! And, James, he's just cute and really wants to win this thing the right way. Right now I want James to win.

Ok. I believe I have embarrassed myself enough today. I'll go do something more important or atleast look like I'm doing something important. :)

Look Like A Kid, Play Like A Kid

Anytime I meet someone new or even when I'm out running errands it never fails that atleast someone that day thinks I'm a kid. The average age that people think I am ranges from 12 years old on a no makeup day to 16 years on a makeup day ( I don't know why I am telling you people this).

Are 12 year old mothers really that common (even in KY) ? No, I don't think so. So, why on earth do people think I'm 12? C'mon, people, look a little closer , I don't reeaaalllyyy look 12. I don't look 15 or 16. I look closer to my real age of 29.

What really gets people is my size. I'm petite. Hell, I'm not just petite...I'm really small. I'm 4'10 ( on my good days). Many of you are probably thinking why is she complaining about this. Well, we all have issues with our bodies. I'm not saying that it's so terrible that I can't handle it but the stares need to stop. I just want people to take me seriously. I don't want to be handed the kids menu anymore. I don't want to be passed up in line because customer service thinks I'm someone's kid. I don't want to be asked one more time, "Is your mommy home?" I don't want to be triple carded anymore and made to feel like I have a fake ID.

In reality I am the size of a kid but I don't look one. I don't dress like one. No, I take that one back since the only place I can buy clothes that fit are in the kids section of a clothing store. I don't act like one with the exception of this (which I did for my 5 year old son to encourage him & show him how to do it) :


and this:


Well, I guess there are some advantages...
