The Month in Review: Running, Fundraising, and Mominatrixing

I feel like it’s Friday, but the calendar tells me it’s not. We Rookie Moms have had a big month. And I’m talking about April (let’s just pretend I wrote this post on May 1st.) We had three real-life events with our bloggy friends.

1) Heather and her teammates for The Relay ran 200 miles in two days. Calling themselves “Eat- Blog- Run”, they hit the ground running in sparkly skirts in Calistoga, CA and finished two days later in Santa Cruz.

The Relay - Van #2

Here is the roster of lovelies who participated:

  • Brenna from Barefoot Brenna
  • Christine from Boston Mamas
  • Meg from Fox and Bunny and Woodpecker Stew
  • Sherry + Samantha from GarzaGirls
  • Kelly from Just Spotted
  • Kari from Karianna Spectrum
  • Emmie from Life Behind the Curve
  • Marie from Make and Takes
  • Linsey from Me Too You
  • Carrie from This Mama Makes Stuff
  • Jane, driver extraordinare, from This Week for Dinner

2) I “helped a mother out”. At a party put together by Help A Mother Out and sponsored by Huggies (thank you!) we raised enough money to buy over 17,000 diapers for women who need help with their daily expenses. I met Kelly Tirman, a very sweet rookie mom and blogger who takes better pictures than I do. She’s got a few of her gorgeous daughter at the party.

Best party favor: Amber Wolf of WizBang Photography in SF took this picture of me and my rookie kid.

3) Finally, last night, Heather and I attended *Mommy Boot Camp* in the form of a seminar taught by Kristen Chase, author of Mominatrix. I learned that I should buy new lingerie. (How did I forget this in just one year?)

Before the event, Kristen was completely wonderful to my children and hung out in my backyard for a couple of hours.
