Happy Mother's Day from MyNameIsMom.com
It's been our pleasure to work with two amazing mothers, Pixie and Gail of Thirty Years Multimedia.
The pair have been friends for over thirty years and since meeting for the first time in an 8th grade art class, have seen each other through the highs and lows of motherhood. After witnessing how often their friendship had saved them and realizing how fortunate they were to have that support, the pair set about creating a place where mothers from around the world could connect and find that same support from each other. After a lot of hard work, we were very happy to see the pair recently announce the launch of their new community site, MyNameIsMom.com.
As Pixie explains, "The site was really born out of our friendship! We truly believe that Moms don't get enough support and the most media makes things a lot hard harder than they have to be." While Martha Stewart can create unrealistic expectations and the depictions of Mothers in film and on television don't seem to reflect the real experiences of the Moms watching them, Pixie and Gail wanted to create a space where real Mothers themselves could be known, supported and have the chance to really share what motherhood is really all about.
They came to us looking for the tools and expertise to bring this vision to reality and we're very happy with the outcome of our working together. The site features a range of community features allowing mothers to connect, share their experiences, discuss issues important to them and most importantly ask questions and get answers from other real mothers. And while the site gives moms the opportunity to be known and supported by each other, it also gives them the chance to blow off some steam, either publicly in the Rant Room or anonymously in the Secret Confessions section. It's an exciting place where mother's really are in control of the conversation.
According to Pixie, "We just wanted to create a place where all Moms could feel good about themselves, be supported not bombarded, and most of all know that they are not alone on this journey called Motherhood...There's a saying that it takes a village to raise a child and we believe it takes a community to support a Mom!"
The site just launched and we really want to wish them the best and wish them a Happy Mother's Day. And of course, even though it's only comes once a year, we know how hard every mother works and that every day should be Mother's Day.

Looks like a fun site. I loved reading the confessions. So true!
One minor nit: You don't have the option of not choosing an avatar and you end up with a weird old lady if you don't pick.

Whoa, we don't want anyone
Whoa, we don't want anyone feeling like they have to be a weird old lady!
You actually don't select your avatar during the registration process. After you've agreed to the terms of service, it brings you to your profile page where you can upload an image or select one of the existing masked ladies to be your avatar. You can change your avatar at any time by selecting the "edit my profile" link on your profile page.
Hope that helps!
Very nice
I like this website and as a fresh mother I intend to use it )
