Today has been declared Nie Nie Day by the loving-powers-that-be of the blogosphere. Auctions are being be held throughout the interwebs to raise money for Stephanie & Christian of Nie Nie Dialogues. These young parents of four little ones were critically burned in an airplane crash less than two weeks ago. Since then, we at Alpha Mom, have been sending virtual well wishes for their recovery, which will be a long, hard and expensive one.
There are many ways to get involved today and going forward. Personally, I will be bidding on the crafty goodness being auctioned off on blogs and sites everywhere TODAY. I am stocking my gift closet and starting my Holiday shopping TODAY. You can find a comprehensive and well organized list at one of our Alpha Mom heroes' websites, Design Mom. You can spread the word via Twitter, Facebook, your own blog or through a loving phone call.
And lastly, please keep sending warm virtual hugs and well wishes for Stephanie, Christian and their young family. You can find updates at Stephanie's sister's blog, c jane run.

The Hotspot originally started out as a monthly-or-so feature written by our favorite storytellers. Usually products or services were highlighted that tickled us. Over the past year delightful innovations and introductions in the maternity and parenting space have increased, and we feel we need a space to share our discoveries with you. Daily news stories on parenting also inspire us to communicate with you. As such, the Hotspot is now the Alpha Mom daily blog. Finally!
From time-to-time we will feature products that we like. Since there is no pay for play, we only feature products that excite us. However, we do want to know about new product and service introductions and innovations so feel free to drop us a note at contact@alphamom.com.
