I am excited to share with you a new feature here at The Idea Room…The Idea Room Community. I have been toying around with this idea for quite some time and have finally gotten to the point where it is ready to launch.
I have always had an “open door policy” and have tried to personally answer each and every email {and many comments} I have received from you. And I have loved every minute of it. But due to the sheer volume I have been receiving lately, it has been very difficult and time consuming to keep up. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love it, but I have never wanted to let this blog interfere with my duties and responsibilites as a wife and mother.
I have also been getting several emails from those who are looking for a way to get the word out about certain causes, giveaways and projects. As much as I would love to share each and every request I get…I just can’t.
So I have been brainstorming as to ways that I could use this blog as a way to help others. So I have started a sister blog to The Idea Room…The Idea Room Community. I hope it will be a place where my readers can go and share YOUR ideas, causes, concerns and giveaways.
I am fully aware that my blog has grown simply because of YOU. You adding my links to your blogs and your posts, and YOU spreading the word and sharing The Idea Room with your friends and family.
Understand that this Community is a work in progress and since I have never done this before, expect that there will be changes, and possible additions or deletions as we discover what is working and what isn’t. And since it will be a Community, I would greatly appreciate your input on what you would or would not like it to be. But I would like it to be a way for you to connect and interact with others in a constructive and positive way.
Here are a few things I would love for this new Community to provide:
1. A place for us to discuss issuesand questions that we all face as mothers and women and learn from each other.
2. A place for you to get recognition for the great and creative things you are creating and to be able to share those with others.
3. Sharing your giveaways.
4. Getting your great causes out there for others to be aware of.
5. A place where I can answer questions you may have so that others can get the answers too.
6. A place for you to share with us the things you have made from the Idea Room.
I am hoping that you guys will embrace this and that it will grow into a great resource for women. I think women have a very important work to do and that we can work together to help each other be the best woman and mother we can be.
So please head on over there and take a look around. Please feel free to add your links, comments and questions. You can get to the Community anytime from The Idea Room by clicking on the horizontal tab at the top of the blog under “Community“.
And I would love for you to follow in Google Reader (found at the bottom of the blog) and in RSS (coming soon). Thanks so much! Hope to see you there.
