Dear Moms, One week ago, I had no idea I would be going to bed, only to wake up the next morning to have the rug pulled out from underneath me. I wouldn't even have time to call my discussion leaders to tell them that our beloved momslikeme site was going to close in one week. Then, before I knew it -- the news was slapped all over the site that I had cared for like a baby for more than three years. Fast as a gasoline-fueled fire, word got out, and my friends...my moms...heard the news from complete strangers -- not me. That was hard and I do apologize. I had only a five minute notice myself. KARE 11 feels terrible...they loved MLM -- but it was a business decision from corporate.
Many of you don't know that I actually had last Thursday off from work but stopped in on a fluke to do something. Glad I did..sure would not have wanted to get 'that' phone call at home. After I left the station in stunned silence, I thought about all of you..some were thinking about going to CafeMom, others babycenter or parent-center. I was driving home and got this really weird, crazy thought -- what if we didn't have to split up? It was like something smacked me upside of the head -- I almost ran off the road (and almost threw up...sorry -- TMI).
The next 72 hours are almost a blur...Lil and I sat holed up in a coffee shop for hours and hours...her two month old was a perfect angel. I had the entire site laid out on one platform. We hated it. We tried this one -- got all the colors set. Didn't like those. Changed them....and then -- dug in for the long haul. What a partner she is...I hope she has the unlimited texting plan. I'm type A and when I get on a roll -- WATCH OUT!
I guess my point is...THIS WEEK HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING WEEKS EVER!!!! And you gals are the reason(s) why!!
Three years ago, I started MLM with 0 members. I was the first. When the site goes down Friday, it will go down with more than 27,000 users!
Last week, MOMs started with 0 users. I was the first, Lil was the second....you all are the charter members. We are going to take this site to new heights. I cannot thank you enough for having faith in us and taking 'the leap.'.
Moms are amazing...YOU are all proof of that! Love you all!! Cindy

I'm so grateful to you and Lil for the time you took to do this. I would be lost without my Mom friends. What was so great about this is, it is a "safe" way to meet people. I don't make friends very easily and this was a nonthreatening way to do it. It is also a great way to meet people what you wouldn't ordinarily run across "in real life."
Thanks again! Love you!
