What moms are doing on MomFaves is important according to Sugar…

When I had my first baby, I was inundated with well meaning aunties and friends that wanted to tell me what to do. One said have the baby sleep on her tummy in case she spits up at night, but pediatricians recommend babies sleep on their backs. For colic, Grandma told me to rub warm olive oil on the baby’s belly. Turns out, it wasn’t colic. I just didn’t know how to keep my new baby on a feeding schedule. So many people telling me what to do, and not much of it was really helping me out.

As the kids grew, I had to find things out by trial and error. I was usually too embarrassed to admit that I didn’t know what I was doing. I always say that my two older kids trained me to be a better mommy to the two younger kids. I really wish (and I’m sure the older kids do, too) that I had some kind of centralized resource where I could get my simple questions answered without worrying that I would be bothering anyone, or worse, be judged for not being a better mom.

Fast forward to 2009…

MomFaves is a great place to get tips and tricks from other moms that have been there, done that. Josh’s tribute to his mother is not only a testament to who she was as a woman and how her life touched her children, her legacy is now helping other moms who have more questions than answers. I love that moms can come to MomFaves and find Mother Approved tips, recipes, deals, entertainment… Yay!! I love that there are recommended places in multiple cities. We plan on going on some road trips this summer. Along with my maps and AAA, I’ll be leaning on many of the moms tips for activities, events, and services in the cities we visit.

I’m so thankful to the many women that have put all of their great tips and tricks on here. It’s good to know, with MomFaves, we don’t have to know it all… we all can lift each other up by sharing our part with other moms. I can’t wait to share MomFaves with more and more moms!!

Thanks to Josh and Rebecca for this labor of love!!

How Sugar is helping MomFaves

Sugar continues to go above and beyond to bring attention to what moms are doing on MomFaves. She was one of the first to bring attention to MomFaves by interviewing Josh on The Classy Closet Blog Radio Show. She helped spread the “MomFaves love” by passing out MomFaves cards and marshmallows at Blissdom09. To cap it all off, last week she and Jen Hinton (@KeepitClassyJen) did another blog radio show highlighting the WhyMomsMatter project with Danielle Smith from ExtraordinaryMommy.com

Thank you so much Sugar ~ MomFaves is better because of you!
