Help Me Find A New Tagline And Win A Prize
As you may or may not have noticed, this blog’s header is freshly tagline-free and a little bare.
I’m tired of my “Mommyblogger Wannabe” tagline.
Any suggestions?
To spice things up, let’s turn this into a CONTEST.
Rules:
Thread stays open until Friday 11/14 (sometime in the morning, Pacific Time).
I pick one winner.
I may or may not use the winning tagline.
Regardless, the winner gets a $50 Starbucks gift card.
Sorry – I can only send the gift card to a U.S. address. If you’re outside of the U.S., choose to participate and I pick your tagline, you’ll get link love and a virtual hug and a kiss, but the card will be sent to the next best tagline whose author resides in the U.S.

MomGrind – Looking for life beyond the Mommyhood.
- or –
MomGrind – There’s more to life than being a mom.
(Had to go this route, as weren’t you given a hard time about not blogging about your children a while back?)

Momgrind – Mommyblogger Taking it to the Next Level
or
Momgrind – A Mommyblogger that Makes You Think
I feel like you want to break out of your present mold, so I tried to come up with something expansive. I might be back to try again. Is there a limit to how many you can suggest?
Mike Goad responds:
Posted: November 6th, 2008 at 8:57 pm →
Wow…, that’s tough. It took me a long time to come up with my own tag line.
I hope you get something really great out of this, because it is a great idea.
I like what you have by your picture. It says basically what I just spent 10 minutes trying to think of:
“Mom. Blogger. Recovering lawyer.”
Maya responds:

MomGrind – Leave that Grind Behind!
Can we come back and suggest more?
Andre Kibbe responds:
Posted: November 6th, 2008 at 9:18 pm →
Hmm. “Who’s your” — no, never mind. I skip this one for now and nominate RC’s suggestions. I’ll be back if anything comes to mind.

MomGrind: Why aren’t you listening to me?
or
MomGrind: Don’t make me come in there!
Hmm, I wonder what two phrases I have been saying most lately…
MomGrind responds:
Posted: November 6th, 2008 at 9:26 pm →
I’m loving these. Picking one is going to be TOUGH.
Yes of course you can come back and suggest more. As many as you like. We’re brainstorming here – it would be silly to limit you.
Simple Sapien responds:
Posted: November 6th, 2008 at 9:39 pm →
Cool contest, this should be fun. Hmmm… let’s see.
MomGrind – Helping moms unwind.
MomGrind – Free your maternal mind.
MomGrind – Because mothers know best.
MomGrind – The best mother blogger you will ever find.
I don’t know, I will think some more and then come back k?

“Momgrind – Life beyond the laundry”
I don’t know, like some others have said, I spent SO much time trying come up with one for myself. I do think it’s easier when it’s not your own blog though, wonder why that is…
Sal responds:
Posted: November 6th, 2008 at 10:08 pm →
Taking a whirl off of Jamie’s you could have:
MomGrind: Life beyond the spin cycle
or another one I just thought of…
MomGrind: Lather, Rinse, Repeat
Hunter Nuttall responds:
Posted: November 6th, 2008 at 11:36 pm →
This is my best one:
MomGrind – Mommy tested, manly man approved
The rest might not be great taglines, or even true, but whatever.
MomGrind – Blogging about anything except my kids
MomGrind – Grinding moms up into a fine powder
MomGrind – By popular demand, no longer related to motherhood
MomGrind – Oh no she di’int!
MomGrind – Vered in da house
MomGrind – The nicheless musings of Queen Vered
MomGrind – I am Vered, hear me roar
MomGrind – A keyword-stuffed blog purely designed to maximize AdSense revenue
MomGrind – Tagline-free since 2008
MomGrind – Speaking my mind because you don’t have one
MomGrind – Go ahead, call me a chick, I dare you!
MomGrind – Now with 20% more Vered
MomGrind – It’s Veredlicious!
MomGrind – V is for Vered. Also vendetta, but mostly Vered.
Lance responds:
Posted: November 7th, 2008 at 3:43 am →
MomGrind – Ground to Perfection
MomGrind – It’s Not About the Coffee
Fun contest Vered, and many excellent taglines people are coming up with – what a creative bunch here!
Evelyn Lim responds:
Posted: November 7th, 2008 at 3:58 am →
I’m not good with taglines but here are my tries:
MomGrind – Where Life Grinds To A Halt
MomGrind – Grindings By A Mommy Blogger
Kelly@SHE-POWER responds:
Posted: November 7th, 2008 at 4:29 am →
Yay, I’m excited about this because as I said to you awhile ago don’t think your old tag fits your blog and your writing. Back then I think I came up with:
Mommyblogger and More
But to be honest, I think Sal’s LIFE BEYOND THE SPIN CYCLE, is perfect. I’d go with that.
Other than that, some off-the-cuff ideas I have are:
More than a Mommyblogger
Mom’s the Word
Blogging My Life beyond Motherhood
Mommyblogger on the Loose
Mommy Needs A Life Too
Picturing A Life Beyond Motherhood
Life, Motherhood and You
Shh… Mommy’s Blogging
It’s a Woman’s World
Doing It My Way
Will see if i can think of some better ones.

MomGrind: Carpooling on web traffic.
Kim Woodbridge responds:
Posted: November 7th, 2008 at 6:58 am →
Well, since we have a week to think about it, maybe I’ll come up with something. I don’t even have a tagline on my own site though.
I did look up grind in an online dictionary thinking that would spark some ideas. LMAO at this one

How about:
“Not your average mommyblog”
or
“breaking (out of) the mommyblogger mold.”
Lots of wonderful choices here–good luck choosing! I’m glad I don’t have to

Squawkfox responds:

To funny. I’ve followed you for a while, and I don’t recall many “mommy blogger” posts. You don’t exactly post coupons and debate the pros and cons of reusable diapers. Your niche is less definable.
MomGrind: Kidding around in a kid free zone.
MomGrind: Who the hell needs a tag line anyways?

There too many fantastic ones already, but here’s a shot.
Mom Grind: It’s amazing what gets done.
Mom Grind: I have no idea how I do it.
Mom Grind: Ground semi-daily.
Just my two cents, but I think Lance has the best of the lot. Mom Grind: Ground to perfection. I’m not sure it can get better than that.
MomGrind responds:
Posted: November 7th, 2008 at 5:53 pm →
@ Writer Dad: I do like Lance’s “Ground To Perfection”. A lot. But there are several others that I really like as well…
Mike Goad responds:
Posted: November 7th, 2008 at 6:57 pm →
“You guys are so creative. I am so lame.”
I respectfully disagree!
Who was it that came up wit the idea to do this?

Hi Vered – I had to go away and think about this. But you already have some awesome suggestions and some really crazy ones from Hunter and Betsy.
I suck when it comes to taglines. What about – MomGrind – Cos Mom’s Think Too or MomGrind – Because TheWomen’s Institute Rejected Me
or MomGrind – More Than Just A Good Ass.
I like Mike’s idea of the recovering lawyer and Sal’s Life Beyond The Spin Cycle too. Good luck choosing.
MomGrind responds:
Posted: November 8th, 2008 at 7:59 pm →
Thanks Mike.
So far, I have a list of 11 taglines that I REALLY REALLY like.
kristen responds:
Posted: November 8th, 2008 at 8:35 pm →
my favorite from above: “because mood swings are hot!”
or along the same lines…
“because mini vans are hot!”
“hot flashes for the masses.”
“with a grain of salt.”
“mommy 4.0″ <—just kidding…i dont even get it.
“the hottest thing since epidurals.”
“folding laundry never felt so good.”
“cleaning up after hours.”
here’s my favorite:
“post-partum confessions.”

OMG Vered – Good luck choosing just one!
I am really liking Chris’ “Carpooling on Web Traffic” (clever! Although I’m pretty sure he was just making up for potentially calling you old
Oh, and Maya’s “Life is all about the kids. This blog is not”
And one more! Lori’s “Normal is just a setting on the dryer” Truly, that’s terrific. I think I may steal that one and use it in real life, just because it’s so darn true!
Ok, here goes:
MomGrind: Less Grind, More Mind.
MomGrind: Life Beyond Leftovers
MomGrind: Life After Bedtime
MomGrind: Kicking Ads, Taking Names
