Ladies, the new look is coming to completion here at Postpartum Progress. I added the new pages on the left, and we now have a new logo. Next is the slogan, or tagline. I have two and I want you to choose. Please email me at stonecallis@msn.com with your preference. This would be the kind of thing that would go on the back of a tshirt or on a bumper sticker, along with the logo. Here are your two choices:

Postpartum Progress. Survive and thrive.

This is a play on the name of the photo album, which was given the name Surviving & Thriving Mothers Photo Album because I wanted to show that we DO get through this and we DO become happy and fabulous moms who thrive in our roles as mothers. Certainly one goal of Postpartum Progress is that women who come to the blog find the strength and information they need to survive and thrive.

Postpartum Progress. Together, stronger.

I like that this has. multiple meanings. 1) Families can and will remain together and be even stronger after going through the ordeal of postpartum illness; 2) Survivors working together will feel stronger and feel more able to speak up and end the stigma; 3) Nothing is more helpful to those who are going through it when those who have survived stick around, stick together and help out the next one, which is why Postpartum Progress was started in the first place. I decided when I got better I wouldn’t just move on to the next thing, because I owe it to the women who come after me to be of some help 4) I hope that the women who read and add their input to Postpartum Progress feel this is a place where we can come together and find personal strength and strength as a group of people who have or are going to make it through a struggle that very few people understand.

Okay ladies (and gents lurking out there). Whatever you choose will be the official slogan of Postpartum Progress from here on out, so make your preference known!! Email me at stonecallis@msn.com. And thanks so much to Erin O’Connor for helping me with her fab copywriting skills.
