We caught up with Jill Asher, Beth Blecherman and Tekla Nee over margaritas one night at Compadres in Palo Alto - and this is what they had to say for themselves:

Mommybloggers: Tell us where you got the idea for SV Moms?

SV Moms: We had ten minutes of time one day in 2006 and thought, “Gee, we don’t know what to do with ALL this free time!.” Forget the fact that we ran PTA’s, work (and actually paid for the work we do) and chauffeur our kids from one activity to the next. We decided to create a collaborative blog and invite our friends. To our surprise and delight, it resonated with a lot of local silicon valley moms and quickly exceeded our expectations. We have connected with so many incredible women in Silicon Valley and beyond and are thrilled with how our adventure in blogging is turning out. We can’t wait to see what happens next……

Mommybloggers: Have you always been writers, or is blogging a new passion?

SV Moms: Tekla received her first rejection slip from Random House at age five. It did not dissuade her. She has been writing ever since and usually gets paid a lot more than she does for blogging.. Beth Blecherman is not a “real” writer and just likes playing with Typepad blogging technology. Jill Asher loves to write about her “perfect” parenting experiences and always enjoys venting on her daily posts. Pamela Hornik loves to blog about fashion, shopping and enjoys writing about her weekly trip to Anthropologie as blogging therapy.

Mommybloggers: What do you think of the term "mommyblogger" - are you mommybloggers?

SV Moms: You can call us whatever you want, as long as you read Silicon Valley Moms Blog.

Mommybloggers: SV Moms receives a lot of press - do you have any hints for bloggers who would like to become more media savvy?

SV Moms: Don’t be afraid to reach out to the press. Most people in the media are looking for a story. If a post is timely, forward it to your friends, email lists and local press. They want to hear from you.

Mommybloggers: Soapbox or sounding board? What impact do you want SV Moms to have?

SV Moms: Neither. We are more like a chick flick. We will make you laugh, cry and most of all, feel like you are not alone.

Mommybloggers: Tell us more about your writers. It seems like you've got quite a broad spectrum of experience and backgrounds.

SV Moms: We range in age from 20-something to the 60-plus. We have Ph.Ds, MD’s, MBA’s, MILFs, SAHMs, WAHMs and thank you mams! We have over educated chauffeurs, PTA leaders and PTA dropouts, crackberry addicts, ex-models , high power executives, Lawyers and even moms that make their own play-doh. How is that for an interesting mix?

Mommybloggers: Now that you've established yourselves in Silicon Valley, we hear that there are additional plans in the works. Anything you can share?

SV Moms: We are in the process of launching our first sister site, The Chicago Moms Blog in June 2007. Stay tuned! More cities to come shortly.

Mommybloggers: Where do you think blogging is headed? What's next?

SV Moms: Blogging is going to put a large number of therapists out of business in the near future as moms find each other through blogs and social network sites.

Mommybloggers: Tell us about this fantastic contest you've got going on SV Moms.

SV Moms: We have assembled over one thousand dollars worth of goods and services to makeover one lucky mom that lives in Silicon Valley. Moms tend to put themselves last and we want to put a mom first. (editor note: we'll update with the contest linkage and entry info as soon as we get it. MB)

What is your favorite parenting-related word?

Goodnight

What is your least favorite parenting-related word?

Perfect. (Our motto: If you think you are, keep it to yourself!)

What is your favorite creative censored curse word used around children?

WTF!

What is your favorite hiding place within your home when you need to get away from it all?

In Silicon Valley, there is no place to hide. We live in millions dollar shacks smaller than the typical midwest garage.

If Oprah exists, what would you like to hear her say when you arrive at the Oprah Winfrey show when she features the Mommybloggers?

These women will promise NOT to jump on my sofa.

We're continuing our celebration of the Silicon Valley Moms Blog all week - check back as we feature some of the great content that SV Moms is known for! Can't wait? Jump over to their site and say hello!
