Daily post suggestions

CrazyCupcake52 · September 2014

So @McSarah1104 and I have been working on getting the blog and due date spreadsheet up and running. We have a lot of new June mamas pouring in and I was hoping to get some of the daily/weekly posts established. I've seen discussion on the following so far:

Fitness check-in

Breastfeeding check-in

What else do people want to do?

ETA: Here's what we got so far

Daily - Make sure to label what day it is!

Symptoms

Dinner

Ticker Change (combine Fri/Sat and Sun/Mon)

Monday

Monday Bitchfest

Healthy Living/Fitness

Tuesday

TMI Tuesday (possibly start it when symptoms thread is less active?)

BFing check-in

Wednesday

WTF Wednesday

HDBD - Coming soon

Thursday

UO

Thankful Thursday (doesn't happen every week)

Friday

FFFC

Symptoms, and I'm digging the dinner thread.

I got nothing for daily threads. But these sound good.

We should do the day of the week ticker check ins.

I was planning to start the ticker checkin on Monday since that was my switch day, then others who have different days can start the other days. There was a suggestion on my last BMB to combine Friday/Saturday and Sunday/Monday in the ticker checkins since people weren't as active on the boards on the weekends.

Hard to tell if that's going to be the same this time, but that seems like a universal thing (I am only on because the damn dog woke me up at 7am and my husband is sick, so thought I would let him sleep, otherwise you better believe I would be sleeping in on the weekends!!!) So I will start it that way, and Sunday can spit off if they want :-)

Oh, and I love FFFC and Monday Whine Time. Basically I like opportunities to complain hahah!! but in all seriousness, I find that those offer the most opportunity for people to help each other out and offer advice and new ways of looking at things/solving problems/not feeling bad about yourself for no reason. I have seen so much helpfulness come out of those threads, from dog sitting offers, to resume reviews, it's really an opportunity to help each other (and often just an opportunity to get a bunch of stuff off your chest!)

There is a grateful day (see! I can't even remember which day it is) which should also be thrown in once in awhile because we could all use a little reminder to be grateful for the awesome things in life, but that is less of an opportunity to help each other out, it's more of a personal exercise. :-)

I believe I saw it mentioned on here a few days ago (ya I was lurking before I tested haha), but HDBD can be fun, just not for a few weeks yet

When I posted on my wedding month board on TK we used to do TMI Thursday but if we have a symptoms thread that might be enough, haha.

All of the above sound good to me!

I lurked on other BMCs and liked that May 15 has one symptoms board that they have pinned at the top. Might be easier than making a new symptoms board every day. I'm guessing it'll become less popular as time goes on (only so many times one is going to mention MS).

PinkRoses53 · September 2014

I like the idea of a weekly check in for your ticker change and the others suggested.

I guess I'm just not a fan of the board being too structured/too many rules. My BMB for my first pregnancy didnt have any real daily posts aside from HDBD, FFFC and UO. I liked it that way because the conversations flowed, even if it gets repetitive at times.

The symptom posts will change to pregnancy aches/pains, is this normal and is this labor posts eventually.

We won't be able to get a pinned symptoms board until we get a Mod, which will probably happen in November. By then I think the symptoms thread will be less popular and can be replaced by TMI Tuesday or something.

@PinkRoses53 - I'm not looking to get too structured, but I know some ladies were requesting a checkin for a couple topics. Just thought I would ask everyone to see if there were any others.

I totally understand. It just seems like the bump has become kind of overly structured since I had my son (I left once I got pregnant since my son's bmb went to facebook from the beginning). I just dont want it to get to the point where people can't start a post about a symptom they are worried about bc there is already a symptom check in. It just seemed like on ttgp, people were constantly getting jumped on for posting something in the wrong place.

foodie12rn · September 2014

I planned on doing the BFing check in on Tuesdays if that sounds good to everyone

the other dailies sound good to me. I agree that once we have mod, we should pin a symptoms post and just have ladies add to that.

Want a personalized experience?
