Open Letter- Napping Baby Alert

Jun 8th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Open Letters

Dear (Fed Ex, UPS, USPS, Salespeople),
You may not have realized it from the stroller parked next to my driveway, but I have a small child. A small child who, as weird as it sounds, becomes sleepy everyday at 10 am. That’s when I give her a cup of milk, find her lovey, and put [...]



Clueless Company Award..Pur Water!

Jun 8th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Companies

It’s been far too long since I criticized a company’s efforts to dazzle the “mom market”. Our newest victim is Pur. Now I’m all for drinking on the job, but I draw the line at smoking crack on company time- something the product development team at Pur obviously does.
Crave Pur Flavor Options allows you to [...]



What’s going on?

Jun 6th, 2008 | By admin | Category: News

One Crazy Mother is transitioning from just a fun magazine to the sister site to my marketing business, Rebel Networking.
One Crazy Mother operates under the premise that you only need “one crazy mother” to rave about your product/services and be your #1 salesperson. Social media is in, glossy ads are out.
I’m not taking on any [...]



Cool Mom: Shimmey, Shimmey Undie Pants

Jun 6th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Featured Blogs

Moms, been too long since you’ve bought the basics for yourself? Well, that’s the pickle I found myself in the other night. I was meeting girlfriends for dinner sans kids about a mile from my house. Wanting to drink and burn some calories before I stuffed my self I decided to walk. I threw off [...]

Dearest Readers,

You’ve probably noticed our sleek new design. I decided that One Crazy Mother needed an upgrade. The content will be the same: observations, contests, complaints, etc.



Questions for Caillou

May 21st, 2008 | By admin | Category: Featured Blogs

In case you’ve never heard of it, Caillou is an adapted French ( or French Canadian?) cartoon. The main character, Caillou (cai-oo) is an effeminate boy who looks about 5. My kid is asleep, but I can’t help it; I’m watching the show, searching for a plot line.
I’m confused about a few things and would [...]



Marketing to Moms: Latest Debacle

May 21st, 2008 | By admin | Category: Cleaning Green Challenge

If you’ve been anywhere near a computer or television you’ve noticed that Suave has abandoned childless women, anyone over 45, and the entire male gender in a blood-thirsty pursuit of money from moms.
It’s almost as if they realized that no self-respecting 30 year-old, single Sex and the City fan would use their “hair products” in [...]



Do Less This Month

May 21st, 2008 | By admin | Category: Open Letters

It’s no longer the dingo that’s threatening to eat your baby- it’s the thousands of chemicals you (the bad mother) are exposing her to everyday. It’s not just enough to clean anymore: you have to clean green which means purging your sty without fumes burning a hole in your retina.
The dozen or so good “natural” [...]



Big Red Barn- Book Review

May 21st, 2008 | By admin | Category: Featured Mom Group

If you’re a good parent you occasionally read to your kid. Everyone knows the favorites…Seuss, Boynton, Carle, etc. There are also many children’s books that have driven parents to the brink during what should have been an enjoyable story time.
As a rule, I don’t throw books away but Big Red Barnis one of those titles [...]
