A chance for clarification on The Today Show
By now we are sure you have heard the backlash from the story the Today show ran about "Cocktails and Playdates." (If not, it won't be hard to find.) Some things were said that either (a) were taken out of context or (b) just plain ticked people off.
Well, we have come to find that The Today show doesn't want to let things like that simmer and brew. So, if you saw or heard things on that segment that you wish would be addressed, tune in tomorrow (Friday) Tuesday Wednesday when our friend Stefanie Wilder-Taylor, popular author of Sippy Cups Are Not For Chardonnay
So, if you are one of many that were unhappy with the way that the segment went, be sure to tune in Friday February 2nd Tuesday, February 7th* to see what Stefanie has to say and if Meredith addresses some of the issues that had many of you irked (to say the least.)
* The segment was bumped to Wednesday the 7th of February.
Then stay tuned here next week when we have a chance to talk to Stefanie herself about this whole issue, her book, her blog and life in general as we sit down and talk with her.
But before we have our sit down with Stefanie, we have a great interview coming up with one of our favorite bloggers (who has been very patient as sickness and such has pushed back her interview.) She is fun, fun loving and was a blast to interview, so you will want to come get to know her better. And read us as we do not talk about The Today Show anymore.
We would tell you who it is, but what is the fun in that? You'll have to wait until Monday to find out.
We look forward to our big two-for-one week at Mommybloggers next week. Be sure to stay tuned.

Seems like they ought to invite Melissa back, too. Not that it would happen, but, you know...

I'm glad to see that the Today Show realizes the magnitude of the backlash - hopefully they also recognize that there were some significant inconsistencies in the arguments presented by Meredith Vieira and Dr. Taylor.
Go get 'em, Stefanie! If nothing else, take Meredith to task on that asinine babysitter comparison.

It's Wednesday now. FYI. Those flakes!

So does that mean that when Mommies get upset about something, the media might actually (gasp) listen? That when we stand together to say that we have been treated unfairly, we will not be dismissed? It will be interesting to see what is said on the show.
