Keeping Motherhood Real

BrazenMom is a site dedicated to moms with attitude: moms who love their babies but wish to remain independent and assertive without succumbing to the momness of pastel colours, poofy carry bags, perfume ala baby powder and tracksuit pants. The site aims to keep motherhood real by providing information relevant to moms in an opinionated, satirical, entertaining and completely biased manner. Expect to laugh, cry, anger, and most importantly, VENT, without judgment. The site includes feature stories; product and clothing news, views and information; book reviews; and personal accounts relating to being a mom. It is a forum for discussion, comment and argument, and is a way to learn from the experiences of other moms who wish to share. Comments are encouraged, swearing is appreciated and guest authors are most welcome. Let's be bold. Let's be shameless. Let's be BRAZEN.
