Hello From Hip Mama's Place!




Hello there, blogging mamas! :)

My name is Jocelyn, the Founder and Editor of Hip Mama's Place and a stay at home mom of two. This is the first time I am participating in the Ultimate Blog Party. Hopefully through this I will make more blogging friends and you can all help me make Hip Mama's Place a better online community for all moms.

To introduce myself a little bit--prior to mommyhood, I taught English Reading and Writing to grade schoolers for six years. I traded in my Education degree to become a full-time child rearer, active moms group organizer, and running around being wife to my wonderful husband of six years and mom to two active little boys Gabriel and Jaden.

I created Hip Mama's Place to bring moms the latest trends in mom and baby fashion, gifts, home decor, and more, while supporting mompreneurs and work at home moms by promoting their mom-owned businesses. If you're not familiar what Hip Mama's Place is all about, here's what we are: we post high-quality product reviews of stuff that matters to moms, hold cool new contests and fab giveaways for moms and babies almost every week, post a lot of exclusive discounted products and services from numerous high-quality businesses, a fun mom message board, a mom blog directory to list your blog free, and most of all, we recognize fabulous blogging moms every month by awarding the HMP Mom Blog of the Month title.

Check out the Contests and Giveaways section, as well as the Giveaway Winners section of Hip Mama's Place to see what the excitement is all about! :)



So I hope we can all continue to thrive as moms and support one another through Hip Mama's Place. It's been an exciting journey so far creating such a unique, interactive online community of wonderful moms like Hip Mama's Place..so c'mon and join in all the fun! :)

Hiyas Jocelyn! Thanks for visiting my blog. I hopped on over hear to check out the Hip Mama, and am very much liking it already! I'm such a purse/tote bag fanatic that my husband just shakes his head and tries to drag me past that particular section of a store. He just doesn't understand , lol. He just groans when my MIL and I go shopping, cause he knows we will spend all day in the clothes/shoes and purses section of the store:))
I'm a bit short on time atm, but will definitely be chekcing back in periodically. The list of blogs I read daily is starting to grow!! I'm meeting such awesome women!
I too live in a suburb of Dallas, let me know about where u live.
TTYL:))
Have a great day!

HMP, I think it's so great all this entrepreneurial mom-ness. Reminds me of the cottage industries of the early 19th century. Love your stripes too!
