The Mommy Insider is a division of Best Parenting Resources, LLC which is known for its 10 year old local website, AtlantaMoms.com. AtlantaMoms.com has been online since 2001 and has grown to be the most popular online destination for moms to find everything for their family from local boutiques to atlanta family events.

Because AtlantaMoms.com is almost 10 years old and we have a wealth of knowledge about Atlanta, that was most obvious City Edition blog to start with on The Mommy Insider and you will find it here.

We are in the process of expanding out to include City Editions of The Mommy Insider for several major cities including Orlando, Chicago, and New York, all coming soon.

Are you passionate about your city? Do you love to shop, visit local parks, and attractions?
Are you interested in starting your own City Edition blog on TheMommyInsider.com or contributing content for a City Edition here on The Mommy Insider?

We are pros at local guides (see AtlantaMoms.com) and want to help you establish a local guide/blog for your city and give your other blog/website free advertising in return. You may also earn revenue from your City Edition in the future.

Contact me at alicia@themommyinsider.com for more information.

Kijiji iPhone app review + $25 iTunes giveaway!

August 12, 2009iphone, New postsapp, iphone, kijiji, localAlicia

My husband and I are on a ‘get rid of stuff‘ kick. We are selling tons of baby and kids stuff at a consignment sale here in Atlanta this weekend and let me tell you.. if I ever sign up to do this again (which I seriously doubt I will) I’m going to make sure I have lots of time, ~~xanax~~, and sleep the week of the sale. What a royal pain in the butt this week has been, but the hopefully the payoff will be worth it. You may have noticed that I’ve written fewer reviews and posts in the last 5 or so days.. blame it on the consignment sale!

logoSmall1 What does this have to do with Kijiji you ask? I was recently introduced to Kijiji.com which is an online community where members can connect with one another to exchange goods, ideas, and services and is the perfect place for a mom like me to sell used kids stuff without having to enter each item into an online inventory system, print card stock tags, and then secure the tag onto the item with packing tape… sorry.. I went off on a rant again.

The FREE Kijiji iPhone app allows Kijiji users to search local classified ads, watch listings, reply to listings and post items with just a few simple taps while on the go. The Kijiji iPhone app makes it easy to buy or sell everything from clothes to cribs, find a babysitter, adopt a pet, rent an house and do so much more, right from your iPhone.
What a great way to occupy yourself while waiting in the pick up line at school! Find stuff to buy, locally, and cheap.. just because it’s a little ‘used’. Just don’t get to the point where you need a Kijiji intervention though.. it could happen!

Learn more about the Kijiji iPhone app here.

We are giving a lucky reader a $25 iTunes giftcard!
