Shocking Stats

Inspired by Domestic Deeds, I took a look at 2011 blog statistics. Considering the lengthy breaks I have been taking this summer and fall, I was shocked to discover that I had 17,493 visitors last year. Average time spent was 1m 42s, and most of the visits that arrived via links were from Facebook and A Working Mom’s Closet. Favorite posts include the Fashion Mama Spotlight, how to wear short skirts to work, and love for skirt pockets. Top five countries (besides the US) include:

Canada
United Kingdom
Australia
Germany
Poland

Wow. Working moms of the world unite.

JHS Maternity Week – Win My Maternity Wardrobe!

I have been eBaying a client’s designer clothes and accessories all week, and it led me think about whether I need to put my maternity clothes up while I am at it.

Why not hold onto them? First, who knows if I get pregnant again and what season it will be. Second, if it is a few years down the road, who wants to wear outdated maternity wear? It’s tough enough working around a growing belly and seeing the fluid retention in the photographs (which, by the way, I am going to do all of you pregnant ladies a service and write a post this week about how to take good pictures when you are seriously preggo. This probably applies to you non-pregnant gals, so stay tuned.) I thought it would be more fun to give away my maternity wardrobe (well, 5-6 key pieces).

So if you know any deserving ladies who are with child, send them here this week, and you can enter the contest to win my maternity wardrobe as well and either keep, sell, or donate it to a lucky friend. All you have to do is to email me, leave a comment, tweet or facebook about the contest. (My handle is JennyLHamilton.) You get an entry for each of these you do up to a total of 3. If you want to make suggestions for a Friday Fashion Q&A while you’re at it, that would be fabulous. Winner will be chosen by Random.org.
