Mama and Baby Love is Back!

I started this blog in March of 2010 and named it Mama and Baby Love. I named the blog after my beloved yoga studio I used to own for mothers and children.  When I asked Tara to partner with me in writing on the blog, I changed the name to Healthy Mama, Healthy Baby.


Recently, it became clear that there was misunderstanding about what our roles were in the blog and who owned what.  My intention, even though we were partners and I said we were co-founders and I was more than happy to split all profits, was that I would maintain control of the business end and be able to lead the brand of Healthy Mama, Healthy Baby.  I was doing all the back end, business, marketing and promotion work myself, so I thought it was understood that I would have final say on what was best for the brand.  Although, Tara was my friend and I valued her content, I was not willing to have a democracy about business decisions.  I do not think it is a good way to run a business, I think businesses do better with clearly define roles of each member.  I also just know myself and I know I need to have control with any project I am involved in. We could not come to agreement and I decided that I no longer wanted to partner with Tara.  I am sorry for the part I played in the demise and I feel horrible that there was a misunderstanding.  Tara felt very mislead and mistreated as a blog partner and friend. I feel awful that she feels this way.  I did my best to clear it up, so we could move forward, but ultimately I decided that it was not the best interest of anyone to move forward together.


I could not keep the name Healthy Mama, Healthy Baby, without Tara, so I have gone back to my roots.  To the original name of the blog, when I first started it, Mama and Baby Love. But it is OK, everything happens for a reason.  Luckily, I never got around to switching the domain name, and I have been publishing under mamaandbabylove.blogspot.com this whole time.  Somebody upstairs must have been looking out for me!


I have worked so hard on this blog for the past year and half and I am excited about it's future.  If you stick around you will get more of the posts you love from me. This blog is like another baby to me, I am so passionate about writing posts that help Mamas live an easier and happier life!  I will continue to write about Natural Parenting, Real Food, Yoga, DIY and a new addition, Travel!


I am really bummed to loose the HMHB Fan page on Facebook.  I feel like I did a really great job fostering and growing that community.  Connecting with each of you there, was one of the highlights of my day.


So, I would really appreciate it if you would take the time to like my new Mama and Baby Love Facebook page.  
 
I wish Tara all the love, light and peace in the world.  You can find her new blog, Healthy Mama, Happy Baby here.
