My weight made me famous -ish .

January 26, 2012 by · 3 Comments

Launching Mom has received a tremendous amount of support and I am SO proud to say that on Day 2- we have nearly 100 members!! A BIG *BIG* thank you to all of you who have become a member of the Launching Mom Revolution!

And then  just when I thought it couldn’t get any more exciting– remember that “National Weigh-In Day” event I attended earlier this month?  Well today I received an email telling me that a Special K commercial has gone live– and I am in it!!

It’s not national TV, just Facebook – but really, who watches TV anymore? And I had to sign all these SAG papers. So in my head I am practically a celeb. But please, I beg you– just treat me like a regular person when you see me out in public because I really am just Cori-from-the-block. Fame does not get to my head.

Click here to see the commercial.

I am off to make sure my kids have separated my Skittles properly.

John Mayer Visits My Playroom

January 24, 2012 by · 1 Comment

As many of you know I kind of have a thing for John Mayer and Photoshop. I can’t help it. Somehow his dating history just always makes for the best blog fodder.

But this time is different.

This time John Mayer and my mad photoshopsillz are brought together by something completely out of left field.

Yes. It’s true. John Mayer visited my playroom. Get the scoop over on The Big Toy Book Blog.

Are Celebs Relatable Mom Bloggers?

December 2, 2011 by · 27 Comments

This just in….Kourtney Kardashian has started a “Mommy Blog” – ok so its not *just* in, but I *just* had a chance to write about it. Seriously, where has this week gone? but I digress- back to Kourt.

According to Kourtney’s first “Mommy Blog”, she filmed 10 blogs while visiting New York recently.  And you know, because we all travel with  20 pair of shoes for our kids and vlog in a posh hotel- her first video blog post was about Mason’s closet and how “style does NOT mean expensive”.

Here’s the thing, I actually like the Kardashians- I think they’re all gorgeous. I pray that I age as well as Kris Jenner and grow spider lashes like Kim. For real– I mean it. I like them- but I do not relate to them- no matter how many times Kourtney mentions H&M in her vlog. In fact, I think the reason I like them most is because I get to veg out and leave reality behind for an hour or two to get lost in an extreme world that is polar opposite.

Case in point:

*sigh* I never had a cool aunt who toted me around in a designer gown and handbag.

Kourtney is not the only celeb attempting to reinvent themselves as a relatable “Mommy Bloggers” though. Last year, Gwenyth Paltrow launched GOOP and Teri Hatcher launched GET HATCHED and just this week Soleil Moon Frye was featured on Nightline talking about  how she  is now a Mom-ambassador for Target  with 1 million Twitter followers and a Mommy Blog “HerSay”.

Could it be brands and research finding that Blogger Moms have more influence than celebrities that have celebrity Moms quickly jumping online to start a Mommy Blog? I don’t know but non-celeb Mom Bloggers have their influence specifically because they are not celebrities . They are every day Moms without a Nanny  and team of people to get them into their skinny jeans 2 wks postpartum. When a non-celebrity Mom Blogger does a video haul of her trip to Khols, although it may be sponsored- most likely the blogger teamed up with the Khols because they shop there. But when Sarah Jessica Parker teams up with Garnier- do you really believe she’s skipping the salon?

My point is- there are tons of likable celebrities- but does likable= relatable?

What do you think? Can you identify with Punky Brewster all grow’d up? Do you believe Kourtney Kardashian has ever even set foot in an H&M?
