Stuff, stuff, stuff. Everything seems to be about stuff: buy it, sell it, clean it, organize it, cook it, hide it, play it, watch it, spin it, use it, win it…
Stuff is good, and at EM we talk about a LOT of stuff. In fact, we talk about Everything. But what has been missing through all this talk is a broader, deeper sense of connection. Relationships.
Sure, many women have forged wonderful relationships through EM. But they did that all on their own, not with any help on our part. (We women are good at that friendship thing.)
But we want to help — more. We want you to have buckets of opportunities for friendship and connection here at EM. We don’t want you to have to work at it, sort through all the stuff to find it.
So we’re getting rid of stuff to open up a space for natural connections. We are replacing our Forums with focused, meaningful conversations.
What would you talk about…
- If you had a friend who would really listen to you, with her whole heart and soul
- If you knew that you would not be judged
- If you knew that she got you
- If you knew that somehow just by talking to her, you felt wonderful, inspired, relaxed, giddy, energized, peaceful — YOU.
- Would you talk about something serious, light, humorous?
We’re that friend. With our new Mom Chat: Tell us Everything section, we’ve created a space for you to join focused conversations and build relationships with other moms who just get you. With no fluff.
We’ve hired a new Community Manager, Jen Taylor to help build relationships and community within EverythingMom.com. Jen will be facilitating our Mom Chats as well as engaging Everything Community. For those of you who follow Jen through Twitter, you know that she is one of the friendliest gals around. So what better person to join our team to spark connections?
ALSO! We are itching to tell you about some terrific online and offline events coming up, stay tuned for more deets coming soon!
In the meantime, please hop over to Jen’s profile and give her big welcome hugs! Then mosey on over to our very first Mom Chat - we’re talking friendships! (Fitting, don’t cha think?)

Yay Jen! So excited about having her as part of the EverythingMom team. Her and the new Mom Chats will be great fun!
Me too! So blessed to work with such brilliant, talented sweet women on the EM team.
This? Is the kind of thing that makes me really love my job already.
