We will be hosting special giveaways on the forum, and if you need any advice, help, or encouragement it's on its way! There will even be a place where you can tell us hat you would like to see at Mommies United.

Product Reviews / Mega Reviews
We've been asked how to submit products for contests and/or review by our Mommies. Here are the answers!
If you are a PR rep for products that you think our readers should know about, someone who makes products that are simply awesome, or an indie designer looking to get the word out about your amazing product, we would love to hear from you!
We are more than happy to post product reviews and/or reader giveaways. Our readers have come to appreciate our recommendations and are thrilled when we tell them about a wonderful product!
So, tell us about it!
How?
Send us an email at mommiesunited@yahoo.com describing the product you would like to submit for a giveaway or review, include a link to your website, and please specify to which age group the item best appeals.
When contacted about product reviews, we will inform you of our interest, and forward you our individual addresses. While we do not charge for product reviews, we do require a sample for all reviews. The sample will not be returned, and you will be responsible for any shipping costs involved. After receiving your product samples, we will each consider it for review on our individual sites, and then post a collective what we call a Mega Review on Mommies United.
As we are currently experiencing a one month review backlog, we will then send you 2 emails:
1. A confirmation we received your product
2. An email linking to our product reviews, or alerting you of our decision not to post
Of note, decisions to post are based on the quality of your product, thus some products may not be reviewed because they simply do not resonate with our bloggers or work for our families. Moreover, we are incredibly candid in the reviews we post, and while we aim not to openly disparage any products, we do often sometimes critique products just as we praise others. We aim for balanced and thoughtful reviews.
Many people has asked us what is a mega review. Well, the Mega Review is where each of us four mommies are given the opportunity to post about a product on our own personal blogs. We then post together, here on Mommies United, with a group review, including a link to our individual personal reviews. So It is 5-in-1 Review! Not only do you get your name out to one website but it will be featured on FIVE!
We are the first group of women offering a Mega Review! We are very excited to join forces together, and tell our friends about the neat products we find!
If your interested in sponsoring a Mega Review then send us an email at mommiesunited@yahoo.com describing the product you would like to submit for a giveaway or review, include a link to your website, and please specify to which age group the item best appeals.
While we do not charge for product reviews we do require a sample for all reviews. The sample will not be returned, and you will be responsible for any shipping costs involved. We do provide our honest and candid opinion, however we do not guarantee that your product will be featured, nor do we guarantee a positive review.
Though we are open to most anything, we especially love companies, products, and services that appeal to family life and are non-toxic, safe, and fun.
Between the four of us Mommies we have children in the following age groups:
Amanda two girls ages 5.5 and 2.5
Kristin one little girl age 3
Shanda little girl age 3 and baby boy age 9 months
Christine twin boys age 7, girl age 6, boys ages 4, 2 and 8 months.
We look forward to hearing about your products!
We're gettin' ready!
Here at Mommies United we stand for friendship, encouragement, and loyalty. We would love for you to join in on the celebration of friendship!
We are very excited about launching Mommies United and want to do it with a bang of a party! For two entire weeks there will be many ways to join in the celebration. There will be lots of fun and games, all of them gaining you points for chances to win some amazing prizes!
We are still in the process of putting together the last minute details, creating a Mega Party button, and finalizing the list of generous sponsors and wonderful prizes, so check back often for party dates and a special Mega Party button. In the meantime grab our Mommies United button, found on the right, and start spreading the word, because this is one party you won't to miss!!
Are you ready to party?

Introducing The Mommies United... Kristin is the mother to Kai, a two and a half year old spunky girl. She's a busy full time college student living in Oregon. While Kristin is not married, she takes time to enjoy her time with her boyfriend Delfino. Together they spend time learning and growing as a family. Kristin is the owner of An Ordinary Life; a blog in which she talks about her journey through life as a Mom, and college student. She loves fashion, and often talks about her favorite products. Kai is the light of her life and she enjoys telling everyone about the exciting changes happening to her family.
Christine is married to her best friend, Ray, and together they have six very active children, all ages 7 and under. She's a busy mama, spending most of her days homeschooling five of them, while wearing one! She is the proud owner and author of From Dates to Diapers, where she shares about life with little ones, offers advice and encouragement, and writes her thoughts and opinions on some of the greatest products on the market. In her spare time, Christine enjoys hand crafting beaded jewelry, writing, and teaching others how to wear their babies comfortably.
Amanda is a full time stay at home mom to two very energetic little girls. Samantha is five and loves ballet, Sarah is two and wants to do everything her big sister does. Amanda is always on the go with her kids and loves to share her life experiences through her blog, mommymandy. She is married to her high school sweetheart, his name is Patrick. They met while doing a church choir function called The Singing Christmas Tree. Patrick and the girls are Amanda's inspiration in life. They live in sunny California, but one day would love to move back East. In her spare time she loves to make hair bows and headbands for her girls and her friends. She also loves to scrapbook and recently found digital scrap booking. She loves to give her advice on style and on products she loves. She loves to share all the fun and interesting things going on with her family and can not wait to have another little one (this time they are hoping for a boy).
Shanda is a Mommyprenuer! She is a former Model, Makeup Artist and Volleyball Player for Indiana State University. Married to the love of her life, Russell, and living in Michigan, they have two children who they adore! Nevaeh is now 3 and loves to dance and tell stories.

Together with her hubby, they are working on a trademark for a great new product that will help with Potty Training! She is into a little of everything, I guess. She loves to network with others and give her opinion on the products that she loves and uses! In her spare time you will find her blogging or scrapbooking!
