Do you have a friend who deserves some kudos? Someone who made your day or just plain made you laugh when you really needed it? Someone who’s doing the best they can in the face of some tough stuff? Someone who’s got so much on their plate it’s amazing they can keep their eyes open, and you want to not only tell them they’re doing a fantastic job, but to shout their name from the (virtual) rooftop?

One of the best parts of having our village is the ability to raise each other up! So if you know someone you want to shout out to, we’re here to help broadcast that message via our Facebook page. Here’s how Raise A Mother Shout Outs work:

1. You send us your shout out – include your name, the awesome person’s name, and your personal message – in a private Facebook message.
2. At the end of the month, we do a happy Shout Out Facebook post with all those good messages of love and support.
3. You tag your friend in a comment to surprise her with some public admiration – which she deserves!

Shout Outs can be for anything, big or small, with as much or as little detail as you like:

“Kudos to Belinda for not completely losing her mind after staying up night after night after night the last few weeks with the little one. You will make it through this!”

“Many thanks to Lauren – the banana muffins you brought me when I was having that really shitty day made me so grateful for awesome friends like you.”

“Here’s to Jess, for letting me steal her brilliant trick with the [missing socks/homework battle/whining/whatever]. It’s a game-changer!”

“I can’t imagine what you’re feeling right now. Your courage going through this inspires me, and I’m always here for you! xo”
