Blowing some life into this site

Bump

Here's a few guidelines:

Choose a catchy headline 5-7 words
Begin with an intro describing what the article will be about. Approximately 100 words.
Then write your article/story. Anything from 300-1000 words.
End with a short and summarizing ending.
Pictures are welcome!

Hi girls

I've been on the back-end of the site a lot this year. I haven't really had time to participate in anything and I have neglected Moomie something terrible. The past few weeks I have seriously thought about closing Moomie down, but it's my third child. I just cannot.

We have SO many new members. We get more than 25 THOUSAND women on here every single month. Not all of you are chatting though and we want you to get involved too.

What I want to start with NOW, which doesn't take any redesigning, is to start placing your stories under articles. I want you to mail me your stories and I'll upload it and also announce it on facebook. The reason for these stories/articles is to get information out there.

Yes, you can buy Baba & Kleuter or Your Pregnancy, but what we can all give each other here is PERSONAL experience. You don't have to be a writer to write your story.

You can have your name published with the story or not. It's your choice.

I want your stories/take on, the following:

1. Birth. Natural vs Ceaser. What's the fuss about? Why do women get so hot-headed about this topic?
2. Breastfeeding. Anything you can think of. Why breastfeed, tips on how to start breastfeeding, problems you've encountered, why you don't want to breastfeed, why you feel like a cow, the stares you've gotten when you breastfed in public, what's the fuss about breastfeeding in public?
3. Feeding. When to introduce solids, how you did it, did you BLW, how did you BLW, what do you feel is important, what kind of diet do you choose for your kids, do you look at labels etc.
4. Fertility. This is a huge one. Women are hungry for information about infertility and why it happens. What is your story? Do you have a miracle story to tell or are you struggling? I just look at Guilianna Rancic and how she has made a difference in others' lives by being so open. Have you adopted, do you want to adopt etc.
5. Depression. YOUR story about post-natal depression.

Let's start with that, although I am open for any new ideas. I will maybe edit some of the articles before publication. You can add any link you want if you have a website/blog. Insert pictures if you want. Pictures are always great!

What do you girls think? Do you think it will be interesting? I cannot wait to receive some stories!

You can mail them to moomieforum@gmail.com.
