  Justin Bieber Fever

  

  Last October, singing sensation Justin Bieber performed for the Today Show.  He also took part in an event launching the debut of TodayMoms.com, the mommy website for TodayShow.com.  (If you haven’t checked it out you really should.)

  

  He autographed a few posters to his swarm of fans… and we couldn’t let him get away without signing a few of our Today’s Moms books.  (Notice Alicia’s autograph has a heart on it.  Think he liked her best.)

  

  Rather than have the books sit on a bookshelf (which they look really good on, btw) we thought we’d share the love and give them to two deserving people.

  ** Are you a new mom who shares the name Alicia or  Mary Ann?

  ** Do you have a friend, neighbor or relative who is a first time mom (or 2nd time mom) who could use a few funny stories about motherhood?

  ** Are you simply a Justin Bieber fan who would like his autograph?

  

  Justin Bieber with Alicia & Mary Ann

  If you would like one of these books, please submit a comment to this post by Friday, February 26th.  Valentines Day may have come and gone, but this is still the month of love.  We will randomly select two posts and send them out.

  Good luck and happy reading.

  Come Air Your Dirty Laundry on January 28th!!

  

  If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to air your dirty laundry while DOING your dirty laundry, check this out:

  Alicia and Mary Ann from Today’s Moms… along with Grammy Award winning cellist, Sara Sant’Ambrogio will be part of the 22nd Dirty Laundry – Loads of Prose book reading/social event on Thursday, January 28th at the Avenue A Laundromat on Avenue A between 6th and 7th Street.

  The night is focused around, “Babies!  We Know Where They Come From… Now What?”

  

  Alicia and Mary Ann will chat a little about parenthood, babies, burp cloths and stain removal secrets, haha… and Sara will perform several soothing pieces from her latest CD, “Bach Suites for Solo Cello.”  What mom, dad or baby doesn’t like Bach?  It sounds like one hour of good, clean fun, doesn’t it?  (Okay, the puns will stop now…)

  We’d love to see you there.  Click here for more information and to RSVP:

  Big City Moms and Today’s Moms Take Over Kidville

  We were so excited when Big City Moms called and asked us to be a part of their Mother’s Day celebration at Kidville on New York City’s upper east side.

  So many moms, babies and grandmothers joined in on the celebration.

  Mother’s Day 2009… at Rouge Tomate in NYC

  The day started off with kids jumping into our beds and surprising us with homemade cards and artwork…

  We continued the day by celebrating Mother’s Day at Rouge Tomate in NYC with our families as RT hosted a special Today’s Moms brunch/book signing.

  We held a contest, asking moms to write in about why they think they’re a Today’s Mom… and big congratulations to our randomly picked winner, Leah K and her family. Leah lives in Massachusetts and came to brunch with her mother, brother and sister-in-law.

  

  This is a sample of what Leah wrote: I am a Today’s Mom because.. I’m juggling in a world where the role of children in the household and in society is constantly changing as is the role of “mom”…

  The place was hopping.  We had mothers come from all over the tri-state area, and visit from as far away as Allentown, PA and Cleveland, Ohio.

  Good food and good friends = the perfect Mother’s Day.  Thanks Rouge Tomate!

  3rd Annual Smart Cookie Awards

  Cookie Magazine recently hosted their Smart Cookie Awards, honoring several women who are dedicated to making a difference in their communities and around the world.  Cookie honored mothers like Salma Hayek (UNICEF), Debra Messing (Youth Aids) and Uma Thurman (Room to Grow)…

  

  Feelin’ like glamour girls… we were asked to present an award to Salma Hayek, who who was recognized for her involvement with UNICEF’s maternal and neonatal tetanus vaccination campaign.   We feel quite close to this charity, because of our partnership with Pampers and their UNICEF one pack = one vaccine diaper campaign.  (For those of you who don’t know, TODAY’S MOMS and Pampers are focused on getting diapers to families in need via Baby Buggy.)

  Salma wasn’t there to accept her award, so we presented the award to Caryl M. Stern, President of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. We got to read off of “presidential speech” teleprompters (the audience usually sees a clear sheet of glass but the text is in the prompter) but we were too short to see the text, hahahaha.  Next time, we’ll wear taller heels!  Thanks Cookie for a great night.

  TODAY’S MOMS Breakfast Book Bash & Diaper Drive

  Friday, April 24th, Pampers and TM hosted a party at the msnbc.com Digital Cafe – in the heart of 30 Rockefeller Plaza – to celebrate the media moms they’ve connected with during these few short weeks…

  

  Hundreds of dollars worth of diapers were collected to go to NYC families in need via BabyBuggy.org.   Through the generosity of Pampers we’ve already supplied Baby Buggy with six months worth of diapers for the year = $50,000.  Our goal is to help them with the entire year’s worth of diapers.  Thanks to all the moms for helping to do just that.

  TODAY Anchors Amy Robach and Natalie Morales stopped by to say hello to the moms, along with “Sarah Sage” Haines from the 10 o’clock hour… and Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, made a surprise appearance to sign – on the spot – a few autographs for her latest book, “Tea for Ruby”.

  Special thanks to Grand Avenue Baby, msnbc.com, Pampers, Wendy Bellissimo, Rouge Tomate, Buddakan, Jones New York, Alexis Martin Neely and Sunkist Naturals for supplying fun raffle prizes.

  Can’t wait to do it again… Meanwhile, check out some of the fun tweets and blogs we received about the event.
