#zombiemoms

Join In On The Fun Of Being A Sleep Deprived Mum

Calling all #zombiemoms: Apr. 6 mad tweet baby questions, cheer on tired parents & support pregger peeps. Tweet your mombie moment & follow #zombiemoms.

ZOMBIEMOMS: sleep deprived mothers.  In this state due to pregnancy discomfort, worry, newborn, sick kid, big kid sleepovers, and/or lack of sleep due to late night baking because of school fundraiser. 

A few of us...fitting the above discription..have started a hashtag on twitter called #zombiemoms.  We are building our own little community/support group/water cooler/ bingo hall of tired parents asking questions, sharing experience, finding friends and chatting during those late night kid sessions. 

We've even had a tweet-up in real life. 

Of late, I have been writing about how Blogging Makes Me A Better Mother and the importance of Making Friends With Other Mothers (i.e. How to pick up a Mom). Because having a social network (and safety net) for tired Moms (and Dads) is a day-changer and sanity-saver. The #zombiemoms "get" this.

Our little community is open to all - pregnant peeps and newborn-parent-tweeps, Moms, Dads...everyone...come chat #PPD or chime in on how you left the milk in the cupboard and the cereal in the fridge.  Many of us have been there, done that.

And on April 6 we will be mad tweeting #zombiemoms to spread the word that there is a little corner of twitter all engaged in supporting us mombies.   Follow our thread and RT. 

Spread the #zombiemoms luv. (say hello - on twitter I'm: @ParentClub)
 

MOMBIE = Mom + Zombie
