Last year sometime, I tried starting a board post that connected to a blog post I had written but I wondered if maybe it felt too strong/redundant when people could comment on the post? So I didn't do it again. But I am one of the people who feels more awkward jumping in to the boards now, as someone who was a 'reader' of the blog and boards pre-blogging and am not sure how to 'jump' in at this point :) Maybe I'll try more!</p> <p>Sorry to thread jack, Mr. Bee! Back recruiting more phenomenal hostesses :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-looking-for-new-hostesses#post-2603715 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 09:59:36 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2603715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: @mrbee: I used to be a hostess and agree it would be challenging to do both! I do like the idea of threads that continue the conversation. I'm trying to think of how we could contribute to that on the blogging side? Maybe link to threads in our posts (if applicable)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-looking-for-new-hostesses#post-2603692 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 07:18:55 +0000 looch 2603692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I was going to drop the topic, but it seems to me that the only bloggers that visit the boards are the ones that were members of the boards first. Just my observation.</p> <p>It would make sense to me, if this is actually the case, to try to bridge the gap and have the bloggers participate more on the boards. They seem to come on strong, lots of posts when they're introduced and then they kind of fade out. Look at the commenters on their blog posts, is it mostly guest and other bloggers, or members of the forum?</p> <p>Maybe you guys want it this way, which is why I wasn't going to comment further. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-looking-for-new-hostesses#post-2603670 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 04:16:31 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2603670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: @mrbee: yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-looking-for-new-hostesses#post-2603667 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 01:55:23 +0000 Boogs 2603667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Oh that's a great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-looking-for-new-hostesses#post-2603666 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 01:29:18 +0000 mrbee 2603666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: @looch: Interesting! Something like this?</p> <p> -------------</p> <p>On a recent blog post [link], it came up that sometimes working parents feel excluded by SAH parents. As one parent put it, "the SAHMs at my son's preschool actively excluded those of us that work."</p> <p>Working parents, have you ever felt excluded by SAH parents... and vice versa? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-looking-for-new-hostesses#post-2603661 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 23:45:46 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2603661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I agree. I wonder if the hostesses could help start threads with follow up questions/comments about the blog posts to help cross the convo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-looking-for-new-hostesses#post-2603556 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 09:01:41 +0000 mrbee 2603556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: we've had hostesses become bloggers before! But it's a lot of work to blog or to hostess, so usually people choose one to focus on... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-looking-for-new-hostesses#post-2603519 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 05:30:07 +0000 looch 2603519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can I make a suggestion? It would be cool if one of the bloggers were also a hostess...they tend not to venture over onto this side of things and it might be interesting for some crossover conversations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-looking-for-new-hostesses#post-2603430 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 19:05:19 +0000 mediagirl 2603430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-looking-for-new-hostesses#post-2603413 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 17:59:16 +0000 Bao 2603413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay!! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-looking-for-new-hostesses#post-2603403 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 17:39:02 +0000 mrbee 2603403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We’re looking for hostesses to join the Hellobee Team!</p> <p>Do you write thoughtful and helpful posts?
