Apply to be a Type-A Mom Writer

I have some very exciting news to announce! Type-A Mom has been hiring editors for some time, but we never formalized the writing process. Plus, I also know some people just don’t have time to meet the editor commitments. So we just added a formal Mom Writer position. It has just one post a month required, and you still get many benefits of being part of the Type-A Mom writing community.

Apply Now…


The Blog Sisterhood

It was so exciting to launch the debut Type-A Mom Buzz Builder Campaign, and with such a great advertiser as The Sister Project. What we have been doing has become a really interesting conversational campaign. While mainstream media was focused on FTC regulations and many blogs focused on negatives like commercialism of mom blogging, behind the scenes something amazing was happening. Dozens of mom bloggers were pouring out their souls, and they were blogging about all the things that make blogging life-changing. If you haven’t already, be sure to read the entries to The Sister Project/Type-A Mom “You Know You’re a Sister When…” competition. And just last week, our friends at The Sister Project landed a sweet post about the cool things they are doing on Etsy! Yes, Etsy. For real.

Here is an excerpt from the grand prize winner, Amber Haines from The Run-a-muck:

“… when you splay all your vulnerable business in exchange for her voice. I give you my voice, and then you give me yours, and something about it is home.”

See details about the winner and the runners up! Also be sure to follow @margaretroach and @sisters! Margaret has been a huge supporter of the Type-A Mom community, both advertising on the site and sponsoring an amazing total of eight mom bloggers to attend the Type-A Mom Conference!

Win Part of $10,000 For Your Child’s School!

I was recently fortunate to get invited to iRobot in Massachussets, and now I and some other mom bloggers are hosting a contest that I am very excited about. We are their official That’s Ingenious Challenge “LeadHers.”

Believe me, being associated as idea leaders with the company that made robots a household name (a robot that vacuums? how genius is that?) is pretty cool! First of all, it provides a chance for all of us to share $10,000 in Donor’s Choose money to spend right in our own children’s classrooms. Better yet? If you’re sick of people assuming moms just change diapers, this is a chance to show off just what geniuses we moms truly are. Who’s in?

So here is how it works. We, the community of Type-A Moms, are competing to win $10,000 by sharing our great ideas. I know we can win this. Who accomplishes more and is more resourceful than a mom? And we type-As take even that up a notch.

Share Your Idea to Enter…


Whrrl Your Way to Type-A

Whrrl is sponsoring a contest to win a free trip to the Type-A Mom Conference, September 24-26th in Asheville, NC. One lucky mom will win 3 nights in a hotel, airfare and a ticket to the conference.

To enter, all you need to do is show off just what makes you a Type-A Mom. Maybe it’s how many loads of laundry you get done while juggling calls to clients, or perhaps it’s the five blogs you write for on top of getting the kids dressed, fed and cared for each day.

Stories will be judged by on the following criteria:

  • Originality
  • Demonstration of theme
  • Interesting story with lots of photos and text

What Makes You a Type-A Mom?
