Christmas is Coming!

well i haven't posted in a while... seems all the Basket Case mommies are really busy the last little while...

some of the mommies have moved because of job transfers or life situations...

Another one of the mommies had a baby recently... her third! so she is one busy mommy...
and of course a few of us have had to return to work :( and get back to "life"
We are still selling though! we have books in local stores and they seem to be moving...
So - with the Christmas Season upon us what do you get for that person who is pregnant, or just had a baby... ??


Why The Basket Case Files of course!


lol... like that plug?!

Book Signings...


Hello Mommies!


so this past weekend was our book signing at Chapters in Belleville... at the same time... Mel (the Visionary Basket Case Mommy) was out in Cold Lake doing her own book signing...

This Chpaters book signing didn't go nearly as well as we had hoped.. and not nearly as good as the Kingston signing went...
They had us in the back of the store near the kids section.. there was no signage up for us, and no advertising...
BUT - we still had a blast... we hadn't all been together in a little while .. life has kinda taken over... but we sure all got caught up in the three hours that we were there!
We are all totally different, but when we get all together in a group like that we all fit.. it's so nice..
we had babies running around, starbucks everywhere, and a constant sound of laughter...
Mel - we were thinking about you the whole time! and of course talking about ya to.. lol...
We have another mommy who is changing directions in her life and she is moving away... away for good... and a fair distance... it feels like life is pulling us all apart.. but hopefully "The Basket Case Files " will keep us connected for a long time!

Our first Post!

So ... here we go! our first blog post...

i think i should start with a little bit about the book...

We are 8 local women whom all had babies in 2009. We all would meet up every week at the local Early Years Center to keep our sanity.
The 8 of us would sit around and discuss what being a mom is like, and all the changes we were going through whether they be good or bad.
Some of us needed that outing and looked forward to that outing so much that we were meeting at each others houses as well. . .

Melissa Willis - the visionary for The Basket Case Files, had a wonderful idea of writing a book about what motherhood really is, and what it does to us as women, us as wives, and us as people. How much our lives change, and the things we have to go through.

and so began the book.

You will Laugh, You will Cry, You might have a similar story, or you might think we are simply all crazy for being so honest.
but one things for sure, you will definitley get to know the 8 of us personally by the time you are finished reading about our journeys.

It starts with talking about the people we are, and the husbands/significant others we have, to the conception, the pregnancy, the labor, first day, first week, first month, first year, the relationship now, and of course the last year revolving around pooping, eating, and sleeping.

we hope you enjoy the book, and please feel free to let us know how you feel about our project!

Happy Mommy Hood!
