Tonight is National Mom's Nite Out. If you don't already have plans to cut loose with your girlfriends, it's not too late to join in this celebration of motherehood. You can join in the party at TheMotherhood.com that my friends Cooper & Emily are throwing.

We hope to see you in TheMotherhood tonight for the very first National Mom's Nite Out! The brainchild of Maria Bailey, National Mom's Nite Out is happening live in more than 800 locations across the country and online right here!

Put your feet up, grab a glass of wine or cup of tea and join us for the biggest party of moms EVAH! Starting at 7:30 p.m. EST, we'll be talking (using text), sharing photos and all-around celebrating ourselves, and we'll be sharing what's going on around the country. Additionally, you can follow the action through live streaming video on MomTV.

It will be our pre-Mother's Day extravaganza!

Hope to "see" you tonight at 7:30 p.m. EST!

Thanks for making my author event a successful Mom's Night Out!

I'm sending out a big thanks to the twenty fans who came out to hear me speak at Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh last night. After spending so many hours in solitude writing the book, meeting the real women who are reading my work is a real treat.

The bookstore managers were pleasantly surprised by the turnout. One of them said, "We were wondering how the women who really needed Mojo Mom would find a way to get free for the evening."
It's good to show that it is possible, and indeed vitally necessary, to carve out some time for ourselves! Speaking of which, next Thursday night, May 7, is National Mom's Nite Out--yet another chance to connect with friends. Check out their website for party ideas, local events, and online chats.
