Your Name:
Regina Sober
Blog Name
The Crazy Nuts Mom
What are the sexes and ages of your children?
I have a spunky 7 year old boy and a pre-teen 9 year old.
What got you into parent blogging?
Being big into couponing, I kept being asked over and over how do you do that, so I created a blog and would give them the page with all the information on it and say go here. It was easier than trying to make them memorize everything. The rest of my blog evolved from there.
What is your top parenting tip to share with our readers? Can be on any topic for little ones :-) (under 8s)
You need patience, sacasim and a good sense of humor so you don’t lose your sanity. Challenge them every day. They want that and thrive on it. We make everything (or try to) a learning experience.
Can you share a parenting advice post with us from your blog too; your favourite one? Why do you like this post? Please include the link for us.
http://thecrazynutsmom.com/2014/05/being-a-mom-is-hard.html I wrote this for Mother’s Day, a reflection on what made me a mom and the things I loved. And those things that I don’t like, but wouldn’t trade for the world. You don’t know how far you’ve come until you reflect back.

Helen is a mum to two, social media consultant, and website editor; and this site is (we think) the only Social Enterprise parenting magazine! Since giving up being a business analyst when juggling travel, work and kids proved too complicated, she founded KiddyCharts so she could be with her kids, and use those grey cells at the same time. KiddyCharts has reach of over 1.1million across social and the site. The blog works with big family brands (including travel) to help promote their services, as well as offering free resources to parents of kids under 10. It gives 51%+ profits to Reverence for Life, who fund a number of important initiatives in Africa, including bringing running water and basic equipment to a school in Tanzania. Helen has worked as a digital marketing consultant (IDM qualified) with various organisations, including Channel Mum, Truprint, Talk to Mums, and Micro Scooters. She loves to be creative in the brand campaigns she works on. Get in touch TODAY!
