Humor and Funny Stuff

I’ve been writing for Nickelodeon for the past six months. And now, at last, their new site is up.

9 Reasons Why You Should Go Check Out NickMom.com

  1. Your life is chaotic and you desperately need a laugh. (Sorry, I may have been projecting here).
  2. You want to see bizarre pictures with even more bizarre captions.
  3. You’re dying to read my first piece there: 9 Similarities Between Being a Mother and Joining a Cult
  4. You want to check out a whole group of hilarious writers.
  5. You don’t really want to go back to doing what you were doing before you decided to read this post. Welcome to NickMom.com: Procrastination Station.
  6. You want to be one of the first people to visit; NickMom has the goal of becoming the top humor site for moms in the world.
  7. You’re dying to be freaked out by an even bigger version of my avatar on my bio page.
  8. You want to know why I’ve become known as the double entendre woman (stay tuned for future posts that push the envelope).
  9. Speaking of pushing things, you like to press my button (see above or in the sidebar).

I am thrilled to be a part of NickMom.com, and I’d be delighted if you left me a comment over there. Or wherever.

And visit NickMom repeatedly; new content goes up several times a day.

Here’s to more laughter in our lives. It’s cheaper than therapy.

    Congratulations!

    My only worry about nickmom.com is that moms will think the site is only intended for mothers of boys named Nick. The site may have some trouble becoming the most popular humor site for moms if only mothers of Nicks take a look.

      Ha. Well, it’s almost the Christmas season, which means the name Nick will undergo a slight revival…

    How do you find the time to do all of this? Do you really have twins? Are Canadians in school right now?

      I find time easily: no TV (and I mean none) and I don’t clean or cook. So, um, ya….not all the balls are in the air. And if the balls roll under the couch, I can’t even see them for the dust bunnies. 🙂

    Awesome, lady.

    I thought I had enough Nick in my life (but this doesn’t mean I let my kids watch too much television, no it does NOT!).

    Clearly I was wrong.

    On my way over now…

    Mazel tov, Schmoopie! I see the cat is finally out of the bag.

    Because cats in bags are not funny at all. 😉

    Wishing you a bajillion more followers.

    Sorry I’m late to the party!

    How about I leave you a comment here AND there? Well done Leanne, congratulations on the new writing gig!

    Taking a hint from Greatsby’s comment, I shall promote your new writings to my family – and specifically to my sister, who just happens to be the mother of a Nick. I’ll tell her that you are writing solely for her benefit.

    🙂

      Some poor woman had a blog named Nick’s Mom. Sorry to her. I think her place on the search rankings is about to fall…

      Thanks, Christian.

        She is about to come tumbling down! I’ll be sure to keep up with NickMom – even if I’ll never be a mom myself…
