Was asked today to write about how NotSoSoccerMomRadio got started.     Thanks, Janet Hinz, my former fellow host on Toginet.com  radio for asking.

Short version:  (Sorry, I have to listen to Sammy tell about how she did on her Westward Expansion test. Turns out this is not Sak’s idea of adding stores in Utah.)

I’m back.

Now, Jerry wants me to go sit on the deck. Now, Sammy’s screaming about having to do the dishes.  

Where was I?    Ummmm,   this thing that I do…. in front of the computer.

OH!    YOU KNOW I started writing things in 2005. Much like THIS piece, but MUCH more organized.  ahem….  Then, we named it. Jerry came up with them name.   Then, the site rolled on & I  was offered my own one hour radio show weekly.

Now Jerry is walking through here like Jimmy Fallon on SNL playing some homemade song about growing up on Highgate Lane. Look it up. He grew up on Highgate Lane. 

Then, one day, a lightning bolt of genius strikes me.  Or maybe I’d had too many Coronas.

Sammy —STILL trying to do the seven dishes—just launched a large sauce pot into the sink and is covered in soapy water. 

Where was I? OH, NotSoSoccerMoms aren’t just ME. My plight, stories, expertise, voice and gig are everyone’s.  I call some of my closest Twitter friends, bloggers, bright mommas who GET IT.    They say YES.   We each take a weekday & name our own show. We each take a lead focus. We teach ourselves how to  use editing tools, run a radio station, get guests, promote and create our own site.  Together with our Assistant Billy, Anne, Alissa, Jill, Kim and I start a flipping radio station.

We just finished Week 10.   Five shows a week. Guest have included 90′s icons, authors, reality stars, Broadway stars, entrepreneurs, our kids, sisters, friends and dads. ( BIG NAMES, too. And more to come.  I don’t wanna be a name-dropper, but surely you’ve heard of Papa Wayne..>?)

Jill

All of it so we can hope to entertain, inspire, encourage, laugh, support and highlight other NotSoSoccerMoms, Dads and people.

**** And if I had video of Sammy getting soaked by the soapy water, I’d be viral on Youtube by now & have major coin to purchase assistants & tech geeks for all us.  Until then, we do it ourselves.  Writing a blog while juggling Sammy, Jerry & hoping no one hid my Nutella jar…again.

Not Just for Moms. For Exceptional people.

I love Bethenny & her Cadbury Egg success story.  Hard on outside, soft on inside, selling product hand-over-fist.

Bethenny this week with Daughter Bryn

Bethenny Ever After is in Dreaded Season Three.   Season One= Fun and new.  Season Two= next layer unfolds. Season Three= stunt-casting, staged interactions & fancy (er) trips.  (I wrote the same 3 years ago about Jon &Kate)  http://notsosoccermom.com/blog/2009/03/24/grump-snore-more-my-take-on-jon-kate/

What I liked—no, loved— about Bethenny when she came on our screens was the package of funny, hot, smart & a touch manic.   Now that she’s gotten all the things we famously heard Ramona prophecy in a reunion show  (baby, fella and success ), she has become less fun to watch.

Particularly annoying were two facets of the show:   Bethenney’s sex talk/ potty mouth schtick.  Where these comments used to be real, funny & appropriately placed, they now seem too eager to make conversation, shock others and glib.  It’s like a caricature of herself from Season One. Secondly, her wayward Old- Married -Woman -With-Kid- I’m -So -Tired -Routine.  We get it.  You’re settled in.  But you’re a Settled In Millionaire who gets to do & have things only 1/100,000 of us do.   Your fan base ARE the moms out here who have been through year two of marriage and having a toddler and being sex and/or sleep deprived already — without assistants, nurses, ‘events’ to attend & famous Besties.  We want to live through you. So don’t make it look like it sucks or you’re too busy to enjoy it.

Reality TV is hard. We all know what happened before it’s edited to look like it happened.  Bethenny is one of the first to monetize Reality into GIGANTIC bucks & HouseHold Name status. My hope is that she can be a first to take reality back to more real.
