We’re Hiring!

We’re so blown away by the response to our call for Contributors, Ambassadors, and a Content Manager. THANK YOU, friends. We’re getting lots of questions, so we wanted to answer some of them here:

  • If you applied, we got your submission! Google Forms won’t email you, but it’s pretty reliable. If you’re wondering if yours went through, assume it did. Unfortunately we’re not able to reply to everyone checking in to see if their submission was received.
  • Yes, the deadline has passed. Really. We are not accepting any more applications. We promise we’ll put out the word if we have opportunities again in the future!
  • In the application we threw out the date July 5 as a potential start date for new team members. Don’t stress about this. We WILL be onboarding some positions in the month of July, but it’ll be gradual throughout the summer and that date is not a dealbreaker.

Thank you for your patience, and your interest in being part of our team! -M + S

Contributor Team

A team of content creators who are willing to share tips, support, and encouragement with other moms via our content platforms: podcast, social, blog and beyond.

Commitment: 3-5 hours/month
Compensation: Approximately $100 per month | Contract/1099

Help grow The Mom Hour’s reach and impact by sharing helpful, engaging content about your own parenting struggles and successes. You’ll be a public-facing part of The Mom Hour brand, appearing intermittently on the podcast plus sharing content on our blog and/or social channels. Must be familiar with The Mom Hour’s tone and willing to expand on our mission of offering thoughtful, realistic, and non-judgmental, yet positive and encouraging parenting information, advice, and commiseration.

Contributors will be expected to produce a minimum number of content pieces on an agreed-upon schedule; additional opportunities to contribute more and earn per-project pay will likely become available.

Contributor Skill Set: 

  • You should be comfortable with a public-facing role, including self-promotion
  • Expressive/comfortable in a variety of mediums. You may be called on to share a photo and story for our Instagram account, lend your voice to an episode of the podcast, or write a blog post for the website. 
  • We are looking for a diverse set of mom contributors with a range of experiences, lifestyles, backgrounds and family circumstances to feature. Personality and a willingness to share your story are crucial. 
  • You don’t need to be an excellent writer (we have editors for that!) but we are looking for contributors who can come up with content ideas, meet deadlines, follow direction and respond to feedback. 

Contributor Job Duties:

  • Contribute content on a regular basis in a variety of ways: social posts, blog posts, podcast interviews, video. Your actual content assignments may vary depending on your specific skill sets and interests, but you will need to be willing to try new things and contribute in a variety of ways. 
  • Follow deadlines and incorporate revisions and feedback
  • Meet 1X monthly with team leader and other contributors to brainstorm ideas and plan content

New episode! Most of us enjoy having a clean and New episode!

Most of us enjoy having a clean and tidy home, but have you ever kept track of how much you do throughout the week to keep it that way? In today’s episode, Meagan and Sarah share what seven days of real-life housework looks like in our homes. We reflect on the tasks we knew went into running a home, and some surprising ones we never thought of as housework before (like picking plums and chasing chickens!). Whether you prioritize deep-cleaning on a regular schedule or tend to tidy as you go and hope for the best, it’s eye-opening and gratifying to acknowledge the work that goes into managing a home full of kids.

Math Quiz: If 3 kids dirty an average of 15 dishes Math Quiz: If 3 kids dirty an average of 15 dishes per day while away at school 7 hours per day, how many additional dishes will they dirty while home all day for summer break?

67. The answer is 67. Yes, I’ve checked my work! Maybe someone who passed calculus can explain? 🤪 -M

New episode! If you travel with kids, it’s just New episode!

If you travel with kids, it’s just a matter of time before a trip goes off the rails in spectacular fashion. Maybe it’s a flat tire in the middle of nowhere, or an expensive vacation spent sick in a pricey hotel room. Today Sarah is joined by @catieparrish @stacybronec @emilyeroark and @lisaapayne4 – regular contributors to the show and seasoned travelers with a combined 13 kids – who share their most memorable travel mishap stories. (Full disclaimer: there will be puke-talk.) In sharing these stories, we hope to normalize that travel with kids doesn’t have to go perfectly to be “worth it” and remind you that you’re not alone if this summer’s adventures go awry. Plus, one of the only perks to surviving stories like these is that we get to laugh about them later.

New on the blog this week from @kiamhammond: Learn New on the blog this week from @kiamhammond: Learning About Juneteenth, As A Family.

"Like many families, mine is still figuring out how to teach our children about Juneteenth, as learning the history wasn't part of my education or my husband's when we were kids. The good news is, books written for children and families are a great way for the whole family to learn (and there are a lot of them!)."

New episode! As moms, we can be hard on ourselves New episode!

As moms, we can be hard on ourselves…and sometimes we just need to hear the simplest, oft-repeated pieces of advice and encouragement to remind us that it is all going to be OK. Join Meagan and Sarah for a reflection on eight pieces of wisdom that have carried us through motherhood struggles at every age and stage. We are offering them to you, to ourselves, and to all of our future selves in Episode 369.

Just a “hello” from last-week-me, who spent 30 Just a “hello” from last-week-me, who spent 30 minutes moving 25 chickens by hand from their home to the new chicken yard, because they refused to go on their own. And then an hour moving them back, because same.

It reminded me a lot of mothering a toddler, and got me wondering: what’s the most ridiculous thing mom life has brought you in the past week? -M
New episode! Have you ever fantasized about atten New episode!

Have you ever fantasized about attending a camp-like environment for grown-ups? Much about the classic summer camp experience is appealing to us (though not EVERYTHING--we could certainly do without the bugs), and the idea of simply showing up for a perfectly curated experience without any responsibility, or planning, sounds AMAZING. Listen to this fun More Than Mom to hear all of our must-have activities (like food and wine tastings, yoga, personal style consults and more!), things that would be a hard no (like swimming in the gross, murky lake or participating in corny, guided crafts) and our daydreams about creating a Mom Hour Retreat (maybe someday?)!
