Every Wednesday is 'Momsday'

UPDATE: Due to the predicted impending snow, Momsday is postponed until Wednesday, Feb. 9.

Commack Patch staff members work hard every day to highlight the most important news, most interesting people, the most educational and entertaining activities, and the best wines the region has to offer. And starting this coming Wednesday, we're adding to that valuable content by launching a series of articles dedicated to local moms.

"Momsday" will kick off at 6 a.m. with "The Mother of All Deals," a rundown of bargains and discounts we found locally to help families save some cash.

The "Grab and Go Kids Planner" will run at 10 a.m., highlighting family friendly weekend activities to make planning for mom and dad easier.

At 12 p.m., we'll run a profile of a local "Whiz Kid" — and we're still taking nominations. Please take a look atand send the info on your favorite whiz kid to kaitlyn.piccoli@patch.com.

which will debut at 1 p.m., is a live, interactive session featuring a council of local moms talking about their local experience and frustrations as mothers and hot topics of the day. Your comments are welcome as the ladies chat. Just shout out your thoughts in the white box in the top right corner of the home page.

We round out "Momsday" with a 4 p.m. post called "The Great Escape." The column features weekly thoughts from a local mom on ideal weekend getaways rivaling Calgon to take even the busiest mom away.

Of course, you'll still be able to find news and engaging features every Wednesday on Commack Patch. But hopefully everyone can find something valuable in the addition of "Momsday," one of our new weekly events of 2011.
