Great Expectations: My Time As Mom

Jessica writes at My Time As Mom and One Martini At a Time (along with Carri Brown). She designed my brand new site here (which I LOVE, oh my goodness) under her business, VMI Social. She’s super cool in person, and always willing to answer my inane tech questions when […]

Great Expectations: Midwest Momments

I’m so happy to have Jenn of Midwest “Mom”ments here today. She’s a local KC gal whom I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in real life (for a couple of minutes in the pouring rain….we’ll have to meet up again sometime!). She’s sweet and kind and someone I always look […]

Great Expectations: The Three Under

I can’t remember exactly when or how I met Farrah, but I knew that I would relate to her. She’s got twin toddlers (I don’t, of course), but she’s also got a preschooler. That’s three boys, three and under. Oh yes. That’s what she writes about in her blog, The […]

Great Expectations: Paper, Scissors, Keyboard

Sherry Carr-Smith is a fellow remarried widow. I met her at Blissdom, and we FINALLY connected and had a chance to talk on the very last night. I had never met someone in real life that I related to so much on that level, and I was a blubbering mess […]

Great Expectations: Mama’s Monologues

Kimberly Muro is the honest, supportive, talented writer behind Mama’s Monologues. Her posts are oh-so-relatable (I may have had one of these exact days….many times). She’s not afraid to share when she’s struggling, which is always refreshing for the rest of us to read.

Kim is also a fabulous designer, and such […]

Great Expectations: Life As Wife

When I happened upon Samantha’s blog for the first time last year, I got so excited. I actually wished that my then-five-year-old son was a blog reader, because he would have LOVED the pirate theme. I still should show him, but then he’d ask every day to see it. Sam […]

Great Expectations: Reedster Speaks

I met Cindy (whom I refer to in my head only as “Reedster”) at Blissdom in February. We were both newbies, and well, maybe a little lost. Or at least, I was. We managed to hang out a little bit, at a couple of the parties, but not enough. Isn’t […]

Great Expectations: Angela of Tread Softly

Angela Amman is a beautiful writer and storyteller. She’s also an avid (and impressive) runner and mother of two. I was lucky enough to meet Angela at Blissdom and get to know her a little bit. I was pleasantly surprised that she didn’t tower over me like a lot of […]

Great Expectations: Momma Be Thy Name

Stephanie from Momma Be Thy Name is here today to talk about her expectations. She’s the mom of three, a toddler and twin one-year olds. Yeah, imagine that, would ya? Holy cow.

I have to admit, when I first starting following Momma Be Thy Name, I was a little intimidated. Her […]

Great Expectations: Frelle

I’m really excited to have my guest today, Jenna Farelyn (or Frelle as I know her). She’s a fellow mom of four going through a messy custody battle, a fiction writer, an advocate for special needs, a blogger at Made More Beautiful, and a kick-ass karoake singer.Her words are powerful, […]
