To help celebrate the April release of the book, Today’s Moms: Essentials for Surviving Baby’s First Year, the producers (of The Today Show & Authors) are holding a live “Ask the Author” 
session on Twitter! The event will take place on Tuesday, March 24th between 2-4 pm EST. For the actual event, they’ll be using the tag #todaysmoms to keep up with the tweets.
If you can’t make it for the actual Twitter event, you can ask questions ahead of time, in fact, you are encouraged to do so. MaryAnn and Alicia (@todaysmoms), ask that you use the hashtag #asktodaysmoms to ask questions ahead of time or leave a question on their facebook page.
Some burning questions on my mind include:
- *)What snacks are provided for them during the work day, if any.
- *)What is there favorite kid friendly dish to prepare.
- *)Do they eat the food that is cooked by a chef, that was on air that day.
I’m excited to hear their answers and hope you join us for the session on Twitter. Remember to ask ahead of time if you think you won’t be able to make it!
Feel free to share your questions here with me as well and I’ll do my best to pass them on!
P.S. You can ask them whatever you like;)
P.P.S. My good friend Wendy was recently on the Today Show, check her out! She’s a brilliant gal who’s come a long way and is very deserving of all the media attention she gets!
These are obviously busy women with successful careers, but still aren’t immune to the ultimate struggle of working mom vs SAHM. Do they battle with the desire to be home more or do they feel that with a good support system everyone’s needs are met satisfactorily?
Wow @ Anissa! i totally came here to ask the same question!! I’m a small business owner, with 3 little girls, all under the age of 6. My goodness! I can not find THE balance! I’m overwhelmed with guilt most days of the week- either because I don’t feel like my children are getting my all or I’ve given them my all and had nothing left to give my business! I have it all! But, how do you BALANCE it all??
Wow! Such deep questions! Here I am asking about food and come up with this one. NICE!
Hope you can join us for the live event on Twitter!
@ a cowboy’s wife- well, I can use some alternative lunch meal suggestions too! lol I think my oldest is a bit bored with the turkey/tuna sandwich rotation! LOL
What fun this will be. I’ll feel like i am talking to celebrities. I’ll be there for the session and can’t wait to ask my questions! Thank you for sharing Lori.
I’m trying to think of a question. I’ll have to think of one before Tuesday because I plan to be there and watch the live tweeting. Fun
Wow…..some great great questions! I am still trying to come up with just one
This Twitter party is going to be the place to be this Tuesday..I can not wait for all the great questions and to participate….FUN FUN FUN

I would ask, as someone who has no children yet – but plans to in the future: What would they recommend as “must-do’s” before having children? Are there things that they regret not doing, realizing now that there is very little “me” time left in the day with all the demands put on being a mother?

I think it’s very nice of them to take the time to answer questions for us! If I could as a question, it would be, how much time do they spend at work and with their kids.
thanks!
