We’d like to call attention to two of our parent bloggers - Gretchen (from Bananas and Toddlers) and WhyMommy (from Toddler Planet).
First, Gretchen had the honor of being selected for a GM New Media panel in Detroit on Thursday, June 21. She spoke on behalf of parenting bloggers on the topic of blogger outreach. We’re certain that she was an ideal representative, and we’re thrilled that PBN’s review campaign for the Saturn VUE Green Line helped lead to such a fantastic opportunity for one of our bloggers!
Unfortunately, WhyMommy’s news is a reminder to us all of the importance of self-exams and regular check-ups. Last week, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She will begin chemotherapy shortly. But WhyMommy wants no sadness and no pity, because she is determined to beat this cancer. And a team of women - Team WhyMommy - has gathered to help cheer her on.
Please feel free to grab this Team WhyMommy button (complete with varsity letter font!) and display it in your sidebar. And drop by to visit her now and then - virtual company is always welcome.

Team WhyMommy is working on a project to show support for our dear friend WhyMommy. If you would like to participate please email us at teamwhymommy@gmail.com and we’ll send you the details. This way at least the details will be a surprise for WhyMommy. Thank you!
PBN (and Team WhyMommy!), you guys are awesome. I really feel supported by all my friends in the blogosphere, and it’s really keeping my spirits up as I face cancer and head to chemo next week. Thank you!
BTW, I’m giving away my registation to BlogHer. I so totally appreciated winning it here a couple weeks ago, and I’m incredibly bummed that I won’t be able to go and meet everyone in person.
Anyone interested in going who hasn’t already registered can find the details here:
