My name is Elke Govertsen and I am the founder and publisher of Mamalode. Mamalode is a magazine about moms-- real moms, real stories, really well told. As a matter of fact Libby will be a writer in our upcoming print issue! We NEVER have how-to articles, just authentic and real moments about being a mom. Or thinking about being a mom. Or about YOUR mom. We also always have dad's perspectives and a great section from kids of "Everything they think moms should know". We are a print magazine (quarterly, you can subscribe), website (new content every weekday, it is free), social (facebook, twitter, pinterest--- feel free to like, follow or pin us) and tablet (iPad launching soon!) We started as a local publication and are moving into national, with the help of blogs like this and readers like you. Please help us spread the word and grow. Our scales are tipping in a great way! Thank you, Libby! Check us out www.mamalode.com.

PomLove sprouted in early 2008 by a crafty mom who was experimenting with handmade decorations for her 6 year-old's birthday party. It evolved into a business that same year - partially due to countless requests for poms from family and friends. PomLove is the original (that's right, the very first!) pom shop on Etsy, providing the biggest, fullest and most vibrant tissue paper poms, made from 100% recycled paper. With over 80 colors to choose from, and dozens of color combinations available, they are sure to brighten up any space - whether it's for your next party, or just to brighten up a room. Take a look at all of the eye-candy: www.PomLove.etsy.com - then use coupon code BLOG15 to get 15% off of your order with us.

In an attempt to thank our soldiers who are spending their Christmas away from family & friends, I am running an event called Operation Zipper Pouch. My brother is in the Air Force & although he is stationed in Delaware now, he did spend last Christmas in Iraq. It's not only hard on him to be away from us, but it was difficult for us to know that he was by himself miles & miles away. This is just a small way to show how grateful we are to those serving and willingly spending their holidays in a war zone to keep us safe.
