Mile High Mamas Lives!

So well..err...uhhh....

WE LAUNCHED!!!!!

Come join in the fun here.

Mile High Mamas Coming Soon to a Computer Near You!

I have had several inquiries regarding the progress of my Denver Post project. Things are well underway, a designer is on the case, and should have a mock-up for me shortly. We will be launching by the end of the summer.

I have recruited some fantastic Colorado bloggers. By way of introduction (in no particular order):

Julie of Mothergoosemouse. This mother of two has her hands in a number of different projects and is always guaranteed to be thought-provoking and entertaining.

Catherine of On the banks of the Rio Grande. She majored in the antithesis of writing: soil science. Four children later, she has seen the light and her first novel will be published in January 2008.

Angela of Living Life in Beautiful Colorado. Angela is a writer, photographer and mom of four who recently made the big move to Colorado. And loooooves these chilly temperatures (right? :-)

Annie of Anniethology. Always upbeat, fun and in style. And this mom of three can pull off a pair of white jeans like no other.

Aimee of Greeblemonkey. This talented mom of one excels at graphic design, photography and is a music aficionado, reminding the rest of us just how unhip we really are.

So, here's the crew. Oh, and then there is me. But don't hold that against the rest of them...

Stay Tuned!!!

Welcome to Mile High Mamas!

If you're looking for my main blog, please checkout http://www.crazybloggincanuck.com .

I have news. Big news. No, I'm not pregnant so I guess it isn't that big (in which case, it is I who would be big). But I have a fun project underway that has the potential to become really cool.

You see, I figured I just wasn't busy enough juggling two small children and spending my days fantasizing about sleep and potties. I recently contacted Denver's two newspapers with a proposal: to run a "Mile High Mamas" blog. This would be a forum for Colorado mothers (and anyone else) to read humorous blogs (written by yours truly and others), share helpful parenting tips and provide an excellent resource for area activities.

At least that was the formal wording I used in the proposal. But y'all know what that means in Amber speak: TO PARRRRTY!

Miracle of miracles, both newspapers loved the idea. I have decided to go with The Denver Post because they have some fantastic plans in the works.Oh yeah, and because the other guy didn't call me back afterwards.

This is in the very preliminary development stages (they're still assigning the project to a designer) so will probably be at least a few months in the making, if not more.

And so I turn to you, my dear friends, for some advice: Does your area newspaper do anything similar? Do you know of any humorous bloggers in Colorado? What kind of things would you like to see to build an interactive network amongst mamas? What great mom sites (not necessarily blogs; more informational such as BabyZone) do you visit and why? Any standouts for design? And am I ever going to get eight hours of sleep again?....

Stay tuned for the official launch and make sure to leave a link to your site to build our Mile High Mama Linkage....
