#MamasMashup: 2013 Recap & Happy 2014!

What happens when three mom bloggers with three different opinions come together? Mamas Mashup!

Just a couple of months ago, Heather Hopson (Diary of a First Time Mom), Sheree Adams (Smart ‘N Sassy Mom) and I started tackling/debating hot topics on our blogs.

We decided that we should take our conversations about the topics we discussed daily, and collaborate on a weekly discussion on all things motherhood. So we created @MamasMashup.

We have truly enjoyed discussing with everyone over our blogs and especially during our Twitter chats. If you’ve missed out on them, you definitely want to save the date for Jan 6th at 9pm EST. This is one hour you will definitely appreciate having your mommy break! It is pure comedy. So bring your laptop, PJ’s and a glass of wine, and join us!

If you’re new to the blog, I thank you and welcome you for joining the Moms ‘N Charge community. I want to make sure you don’t feel left out, so check out the links below to see what #MamasMashup has been all about!

Our first #MamasMashup was all about Blue Ivy’s hair (yes, Queen Bey’s…I mean, Yonce’s daughter) and whether or not we should be concerned with it? But more importantly, how we felt about our own daughters and their hair when out in public. There were a lot of mixed opinions on ths…

The following week we moved right into the topic of spanking. Boy oh boy did this ignite some serious discussion! Some people think it’s ridiculous to spank your kids, while others think it’s just as necessary today (maybe even more) as it was 20 plus years ago.

And how do you feel about paying your children for their chores? Agree or disagree? Well, we had a mashup about that too.

Co-sleeping. Is there a such thing as too old to be sleeping up in mamas bed? Some seem to think so, so we decided to talk about it on Mamas Mashup.

I don’t know about y’all, but I can’t stand Black Friday shopping. But some people live for it!

Monday Mamas Mashup

We understand that a lot of moms also have to co-parent which can be especially difficult during the holiday season.

Our Mamas Mashup on Holiday punishment was another hot topic! What kind of punishment would you choose for your child that was out of control during the holidays?

Finally, we chatted about holiday battles. What types of things are your family divided over when it comes to the holiday? Santa/No Santa? Real tree/Fake tree?

Ok so this wasn’t a discussion, but I did share a meme last week (and kinda lied that it was the last one until the new year). We’ve been having so much fun creating these with Pic Monkey!

We have a lot of exciting topics scheduled for 2014, but we’d LOVE to hear from you too! So be sure to let us know what topics #MamasMashup should feature. We can’t wait to mashup about all things motherhood in 2014. Happy and blessed new year to you! A special shout out to my co-hosts, Heather of Diary of a First Time Mom & Sheree of Smart ‘N Sassy Mom. We don’t always agree, but we still have fun!
