Ok, it’s honesty time ladies. We all know how much of a uuhhmm we can be with our hormones raging during pregnancy and the wonderful post partum time. Sometimes (at least for me) our men are left bewildered (and trying to find where you put the milk THIS time) not sure what to say or how to respond less they cause us to go into a volcanic eruption. i have found the greatest support for them that is also HILARIOUS. On the right sidebar, check out the Youtube video, and feel free to charm your man when you both come home tonight.

All i can say is wow!  What women had to do for birth control……..

History’s 10 Most Terrifying Contraceptives

So far this is my favorite creation. Go to Vogue Mum and check out all the variations.

They sure are angels when they sleep!  As i type this my little man (aka Roo Roo or formally Vahn) is peacefully sleeping.  Who cares you say?  weeelll as any committed mommy knows the joy of caring for these little people can be rewarding and some days, not so much.  Today was a not so much day.  We had eaten lunch and went to the playground down the way.  Vahn was very clingy and wanted “nuggles mommy, nuggles”.  i was holding him for a few minutes and behold the love of only a mother!  i even had vomit down my bra!!  Now that’s a great picture i know!  i yelled at my other kids “We have to leave, we have to leave! Vahn just got sick!  Let’s go!!  We will get your scooters and bikes later! Let’s go!”  Thankfully we live right next door to the park.  We pretty much run home and i get the both of us cleaned up.  Now, how am i going to get the playground clean (it’s that black soft top stuff)??  Deep breath.  We are snuggling on the couch and i tell the other kids to go get the bikes and scooters.  Thankfully i have great children and they actually listen and do as asked.  All of a sudden……here comes round two!!  It was worse than round one.  i frantically call my hubby who works just down the street and tell him to come home early for lunch.  After round two i cleaned him, me, the blanket, the carpet, and the dining room floor.  While this is going on my wonderful hubby comes home, takes a watering can with cleaning solution in it, paper towels, and Clorox wipes and marches over to the playground.  Now he is peacefully sleeping on the couch for naptime in case i have to make a run for it.

I am convinced every mom has some great puke stories!  i know i sure have some good ones up my sleeve….

I have added some fun new tees.  Who can resist a pink pirate princess?  Why not show off the fact you are a hot, sexy mama?  Are you a mama who likes it a little more edgy and some skull action?  Show everyone you are a rockin’ mama with a rock star skull.  If you like a little girly but not too much check out some flowers on the vine.  Come on over and see all our t-shirts in the Be a Rock Star clothing category.

After some serious setbacks, frustrations, and a couple tears, Vogue Mum has launched!  There are a few technical bugs still being worked out but isn’t life always a work in progress? This morning we had our first marketing opportunity!!  My hubby is an insurance agent and helping families is his passion.  I scooted him out the door this morning with a handful of amazing belly soaps, Mamas in Bloom (i think these will always be my favorite thing to sell!)wrapped with my business card attached.  He met with a group of mamas from MOMS Club of Wilsonville to help them with child id kits (a necessity for any parent!).   He had an amazing turn out of pure chaos with 25+ kiddos and i have begun to get my name out there.  Onward and upward as they say!

I have always been interested in the world of marketing and how/why people purchase what they do.  Before mommyhood hit, i was going to school to get my degree to pursue marketing.  Now that i have begun to conquer on my own, outside of the boardroom, the beginning of marketing for Vogue Mum stirs within me those happy, excited memories of the strong, powerful woman i wanted to become.

Many companies spend millions on advertising (why else do we watch the Super Bowl?).  So what about the little guy who is starting out and doesn’t have the ‘big bucks’?  Online there are numerous different resources and they are all free!!  Imagine my excitement when i began to dive in!  We all know about MySpace (or at least heard about  it).  One reason i love OSI Rock Stars! There are many classes on the subject of marketing.  Have you ever heard of Squidoo?  This site is incredibly fun and too much to explain so just go check it out!  I am beginning to get into so many more lesser know sites like StumbleUpon, Pownce. and Del.icio.us.  I know, after you have visited my pages, you are thinking, “not much going on”.  It is all a work in progress so bear with our learning curves.  Bookmark these sites and keep visiting them to see our changes.  We are super excited at all the possibilities and always in forward motion.
