Are you ready for our first giveaway??? (we’ll be doing this alllll week!)

The next book in the Lion of War series, Covenant of War, is being released March 6th, but we have FIVE copies to giveaway to you today! This series, by Cliff Graham, is a novelization of the stories of David and his mighty men found in 2 Samuel 23 through 1 Chronicles 11.

Note: Brooke and I both LOVED the first book in this series, Day of War, but want to caution you as mothers that these books are quite graphic and violent {as are the actual biblical accounts} and to read them for yourself before passing them along to your sons 18 and under.

To Enter:

1. Share about the MOB Society re-launch on your Facebook page. Say anything you want about this place for moms of boys, but make sure you use an in-status link. (In order to do this, you’ll need to make sure you “like” the MOB Society on Facebook first). Here’s an example of what it could look like:

“Boy mom? Go check out what’s happening at @themobsociety this week as they re-launch their online community for mothers of boys! It’s THE place on the web for all things boy.” (And a link back to this post).

2. Share about the MOB Society re-launch on Twitter. Make sure to use our Twitter name (@themobsociety) and our popular hashtag (#mobsociety) in your tweet with a link back to this post. It might look like this:

“Boy mom? @themobsociety is re-launching their community for mothers of boys today! Go check out their awesome new site & amazing giveaways! (link) #mobsociety.”

When you’re done, make sure to come back here and tell us in the comments that you entered! That’s it!

 

Welcome friends! (And a HUGE thank you to Amy Bayliss and Lisa Boyd of DIY Ministry for our beautiful new home!)

Let’s Hear it For the Boys!

In a world where it’s way too easy to see all of the negative about our boys, we want to help you intentionally look for something to brag on…

  • Maybe your boy made a good grade this week
  • Maybe he served someone spontaneously
  • Maybe he learned a significant life lesson
  • Maybe he did something hilarious!
  • Maybe he looked super cool in his costume/dress up clothes!
  • Maybe you took a fabulous photo of him you just want to show off.

Tell us all about it on Thursdays in the MOB Society’s new link-up…

Let’s Hear it For the Boys!

(#LetsHearItForTheBoys on Twitter)

There’s only two real rules for this link-up…

Brag on your boys! Tell the world how they make you proud! Take time each week to write down or take pictures of the good things they do and remind yourself of how God is working in their hearts.

And…leave a link back here to the MOB Society so other boy moms can brag on their boys!

We think it might change your whole perspective.

MOB Society re-launches as a brand new site! {BIG time!}

In June of 2010 the M.O.B. Society, FOR mothers of boys, BY mothers of boys, was launched into the blogosphere. And the response to this online community meeting boy moms in their mess has been overwhelming.

Erin and I were absolutely sure of God’s call to make this safe space for boy moms available to you. And now, after 19 months of ministry, we’re ready to move into the next phase of this calling.

Will you join us?

Erin (@homewiththeboys) and Brooke (@brookewrites)

On February 6, 2012, we will be re-launching a brand new site, and we can’t wait to share it with you! 

Over the years, you’ve been asking for certain things, and we’ve been listening.

  • White background (yes please!)
  • A place that feels more like a home for moms, but still has a little dirt on the floor.
  • A space for a book clubs that really help you dig in to the boy mom life.
  • Resources that draw you closer to the Lord, helping you lay a foundation for godly parenting first in your own heart.
  • Fun stories about raising boys.
  • A way to give back to the greater Christian community.
  • Guest posts.
  • And more…

We have amazing giveaways planned for you, special announcements that we KNOW you’ll be excited about, and (of course) content to lead you to the heart of God as you raise godly men.

Don’t miss it!

Oh…and here are three other things you’ll want to know:

1. Our new eBook, From Mom’s Failure to God’s Grace: Stories of Raising Boys from the MOB Society Writers will release on Kindle February 7th!

2. When you’re doing your February budget tonight, set aside $2.99 so you can purchase this book on your Amazon Kindle. Don’t have a Kindle? Don’t worry. Download the FREE Kindle app to your computer or smart phone and you’ll be all set to purchase your book on the 7th. Why on the 7th? Because when you do…

You’ll be invited to an exclusive, live Spreecast event with the MOB Society writers! 

(Remember, every dime of the proceeds for this eBook goes to end Bible poverty for the people of the DRC.)

3. Set aside an hour on the evening of the 6th to spend with the MOB Society at our big re-launch Twitter party! Use the hashtag #mobsociety and join us from 9-10 PM EST for some fun and more giveaways!

We can’t wait to show off our new space! Don’t miss a second of the fun! And hey…

THANK YOU for making the MOB Society an overwhelming success!

Sincerely,

Brooke and Erin
