So, I’m in the process of updating and changing my blog, while also moving it to self-hosted, in honour of my upcoming one year blogoversary. Try to contain yourself – I know, it is beyond thrilling.
Anywho.
I thought it would be fun to have a little contest, sponsored by me and in my honour because I need your help. I’ve been thinking about taglines for my “new” and “improved” blog, and the best thing I can come up with is:
BORED MOMMY. Yawn.
Catchy, yes?
My current one – The Mundane Makes Me Insane – is meh, too rhyme-y and me no likey anymore. Now it’s your turn. Can you come up with a great tagline for ma blog??? Help me, ’cause I’m stumped. Boredom will do that to the sleep-deprived. You are so much funnier than I am – so please help me dammit. Leave me your best suggestion in the comment section, and the winner will win an AMAZON gift card. Keep in mind I’m looking for something that is funny and/or witty and/or sarcastic. But no crap – I can come up with that all on my own thank you.
I will reveal the winner when I reveal my new design. The contest is open to both Canadian and U.S. residents, and it will end May 31, 2010.
Can’t wait to read your suggestions!!
{ 45 comments… read them below or add one }
Wait – what is the prize? I mean, I want to know how hard I have to work here, you know! And, I love your “Mundane Makes Me Insane” so much! And a new look, already? WTF, woman? Now I need a new look, too! I am tired of all that pink! Should I? Okay wait, enough about me, GOD I always do that.
YOU. Focus Loukia focus….
Okay, um..
Complete and utter trella, one day at a time.
Trella from the homefront
Maria’s daily dose of Madness
Mad Maria (As in Mad Men, get it? No? Okay, then…)
The house that crazy built
One sip at a time
Two cute kids, a dad and me (I have to give this up)
Fort Crazy (You live in Kingston, so like, Fort Henry? Get it?) Ha.
Bored no more
Bored to tears
Loukia shut up
LOL I REALLY like that last one Lou suggested LOL hahahahahhaa OMG, that’s freakin’ hilarious.
Ok, since I helped you with the Insane with the Mundane (that was my original suggestion) and I’m only slightly offended that you’re too good for it now, I’ll have to work that much harder on coming up with a new tag line for you.
How about:
Bored Mommy. Schmored Mommy.
Bored Mommy. You can suck it. But in a really nice way.
Bored Mommy. I make 4 am look so good.
Bored Mommy. My sarcasm knows no bounds. As does my wit. And catchy tag lines.
Bored Mommy. I am the master. You didn’t hear? Well, yeah. I am.
Bored Mommy. That’s all.
Bored Mommy. ‘Nuff said.
Bored Mommy. My heart is as crinkly as an Orange Milano cookie wrapper.
Also, Lou, yours is perfect… but you already did a big redesign, remember? Maria hasn’t figured out her groove, yet, so… I guess it’s ok if she switches it up. It took me forever to land on a look I liked. Now I can’t imagine changing a thing.
Hi Jessica! Thank you, hon!
And I love your tag lines for Maria, too! 
Think she’ll go with my last one? 
xoxo
BORED MOMMY: Amuse me. Or leave.
BORED MOMMY: Here for your entertainment. And your coffee.
I recently had the same issue trying to figure out a new phrase — hmmmm
Bored Mommy – For those days that are just blah…
Bored Mommy – When life doesn’t get any better than this…
Sarcastic ramblings of a Bored Mommy

I might be back with more….putting my thinking cap on
Not so Bored Mommy
I know that one is similar to Loukia but i was thinking it while reading your comment than i was looking what others wrote.
No Time To Be Bored With Kids
Good luck on your change over
Though we like you and your site the way it is
I am a creature of habit and love everything the way it is . . . BUT I love to play with words, so:
Bored Mommy – Trading the Everyday for the Extraordinary
or
Bored Mommy – Choosing the Extraordinary Over the Everyday
Tagline possibilities:
Bored but never boring.
Mom’s the word.
One mother. Many opinions.
Chasing rainbows and my sanity.
Because there’s “MOM” in community.
A member of the bored.
Bored to be wild.
My kids made me this way.
Changing the world, one diaper at a time.
Stopping boredom dead in its tracks.
Bored-again Mommy.
You already know me. I’m sweetkeet on Twitter.
First time visitor – found you through tweeting. Couldn’t resist joining in the fun. Here’s what I’ve come up with
Bored Mommy – 24/7 – even God got Sundays off.
Bored Mommy – looking for a way over the wall
Bored Mommy – even Barney’s looking good right now…
Bored Mommy – talk to me PLEASE.
Bored Mommy – Surviving on coffee one sip at a time
Bored Mommy – seeking adult conversation before I start talking to Big Bird
Bored Mommy. Meh.
Bored Mommy. Blah blah.
Bored Mommy. Yada yada.
Bored Mommy. Easily annoyed; not easily amused.
there’s my creativity for the day
How ever it looks when it’s done..it will never be boring to read..

I sound like friggen Wheel of Fortune.

Sorry
Goodnight.
Lmao
Not So Bored Mom
Stuck In A Rutt
Amuse Me
Breaking the Bored Chain
Against Boring Rules
That’s the best I can do for now
Here’s my tagline ideas:
1. Searching for diamonds in the lackluster
2. Any less excitement and I’m running away from home
3. Musings to dull the mediocrity
I’ll post again if i think of more…
how about: Bored Mommy: Somebody’s Always Crying, and Sometimes it’s Not Me
I almost called my blog that, or Butter Side Down { someone has that for a blog title already….}
Bored Mommy: Hey, Never said I had Nothing to do, just said I don’t want to do it
Bored Mommy: nothing to do and all day to do it in
Bored Mommy: thick as a plank: fat, dumb, and happy
Bored Mommy: I’d rather be blogging
Bored Mommy: come watch the grass grow with me
Bored Mommy: where the days never end
Bored Mommy: one.ticking.second.at.a.time
Bored Mommy: Come on, 5 o’clock!
Bored Mommy: Is daddy home yet?
That’s all I got, I think…
Thick as a plank – fat, dumb and happy? Um yeah- I’m pretty sure that’s not gonna be it.
I really don’t think she meant anything by it. Her other suggestions are innocent enough. She was probably trying to play on the bored / board sound and it didn’t come out right. But if someone was going to be a bitch about this surely they could do better than that.
Wow, Alexandra, that was pretty mean. Even tongue in cheek…that’s just not nice.
How about alexandra is an AHOLE who needs to get laid…. i like it!
Um, dude… That was a nasty comment. Does your foot taste good? Jerk.
Yeah, not cool.
Wow, my avatar is freakin huge. Um. Yeah.
Ok, so tagline…dude I suck at this. But I’ll give it a shot.
Bored Mommy: Wake me if something happens
Bored Mommy: Someone told me there would be cake
Bored Mommy: Like Conan. Only Without Testicles. Or Red Hair.
Bored Mommy: Why don’t you entertain me for a change?
How about Bored Mommy: Chairman of the Board
Only the mediocre are always at their best
I’d write more, but typing on my phone sucks.
Dance, Internet, Dance!
I said I was bored, which means you’re suppossd to entertain me!
You’ve got some good ones here!
Bored Mommy: Putting more Hum in the Hum Drum
Bored Mommy: Can you hear my fingers tapping?
Bored Mommy: Any more bored I’d be a board
Bored Mommy: Oh the joys
Bored mommy: At least I’M spectacular
Bored Mommy: And it’s not for lack of trying
Bored Mommy: Not that you care or anything
Bored Mommy: Trying my hardest not to fall over
Bored Mommy: I’m laughing on the inside
Bored Mommy: I need more cowbell
Bored Mommy: Why isn’t anything else as entertaining as me?
OK, I could go on forever… I’ll come back if I think of anything else.
you’re bored. leave your blog the way it is.
I liked:
Jessicas: Bored Mommy. ‘Nuff said.
Loukias: Bored Mommy. One Sip at a Time.
Dee’s: Bored Mommy, One Monotonous Moment at a Time
New ideas:
Bored Mommy. That is all.
Bored Mommy. Chairman of the Bored.
Bored Mommy. But my kids are cute.
Bored Mommy. Seeking Fun.
Um, Alexandra? You and I need to talk. About how what you said is NOT okay, totally stupid, and makes you see totally… idiotic. To say the very least.
Bored Mommy: Make it a double
: Bring your own fun
: let me off this ride
: do you wanna go faster?
: Jonesing for trouble
: last laugh
I’ve got more and I’m cafienated!
Bored Mommy-What’s your excuse?
Bored Mommy-Wanna play?
Bored Mommy-It can only get entertaining from here, I hope. Oh, goodness.
Hum, I’ll be back!
Bored Mommy: Bored, not boring. Don’t get it twisted.
Bored Mommy: Entertainment wanted. Apply within.
Bored Mommy: #HashtagsAreEasierThanTaglines
Ok, that last one was a joke (and so were the others if they suck.
)
Okay, I’m going to try but make sure I don’t stick my foot in my mouth.
Bored Mommy: No, we aren’t “there” yet!
Bored Mommy: All mommy, all the time!
Bored Mommy: Same mommy time, same mommy station.
Bored Mommy: excitement wanted – apply here!
Hope these are okay – there are some hilarious ones others have posted (and that one bizarre one…not sure what she was thinking!)
So, Ms. Bored Mommy…
Your name is Maria, right?
Here’s my suggestion:
Bored Mommy (Maria): This Ain’t the Sound of Music!
Good luck! Not an easy task you’ve got there!
Hows about this: We’re not bored ’till you’re not bored.
Off the cuff and before I put the kids to bed I came up w/ this for you:
Bored Mommy. It’s an anagram for Rob Mod Memy…which is apropos of nothing, really.
Wait! I came up w/ another one:
I’m Chairman of the Bored Mommy. It’s like the PTA for PITA kids.
I dunno, that PITA kids part may be construed as too mean.
How about;
Chairman of the Bored – The life of a Maternal Dictator.
OK, so you probably WON’T use this so it falls under the Crap category you mentioned, but this is what I think when I think of your blog:
Bored Mommy: Get ready to laugh so hard you’re gonna piss your pants, wake the kids up from their nap, and occasionally need to wipe the spit coffee off your computer screen.
Catchy, huh???
Bored Mommy: Looking at the time since 2009.
I KNOW! Brills.
Going to bed now. I know the contest is over but I’m going ot be thinking of taglines in my sleep!
I love your original one, by the way. If it makes you feel better I don’t even have a tagline!!
