My name is Ilana. I'm a working mom from NYC who writes a blog instead of sleeping. (Click here for "The Best Of Mommy Shorts".)
My daughter's name is Mazzy. She is 19 months-old but by the time you read this she could be getting her driver's license. Here's her picture. If you think you have a more adorable baby, she will challenge him/her to a cuteness contest. Where they will automatically tie. Because pitting babies against each other is totally NOT COOL. (Although I do it all the time.)
My husband's name is Mike. I love him slightly more than my computer. But slightly less than ice cream. You can check out his class entitled "Fatherhood 101" for tips on winning baby monitor chicken and feigning naptime ineptitude.
The three of us plan to stay in downtown Manhattan until THE POWERS THAT BE* drag us kicking and screaming to the 'burbs.

More about me:
I work as a creative director in advertising and have both an art direction and copywriting background. Everything on this site from the design to the writing is my own. I was honestly born to write this thing. Which is sad because it pays next to nothing and is a HUGE TIME SUCK.
CONTESTS! CONTESTS! CONTESTS!:
I do tons of contests on Mommy Shorts including giveaways, caption contests and comment competitions. I am always looking for contest inspiration, sponsorships and prizes.
PR/Advertising Stuff:
I am PR friendly and am willing to do product reviews, giveaways, advertising, branded content, product placement and sponsorships for brands and products I believe in. I am also more than happy to put together a larger program. Brainstorming ideas for brands is what I do best.
If you are a small company or independent seller that is interested in advertising with me, I can work with you to create a promotion or design a banner for my site.
Please email me if you would like a copy of my media kit.
*THE POWERS THAT BE will most likely be the NY Public Education System.
