Hey Pittsburgh ladies! Does it drive you crazy when you see great things happening all around us but we never seem to get anything good in Pittsburgh? Well the wait is over! Thanks to Mom Select and Simon malls the second National Moms Night Out is coming to Ross Park Mall on Thursday May 6 from 6 – 9 pm.  I hope to see you all there!

Here is a little bit more information from the organizers of the event.

On the Thursday before Mother’s Day, moms across America are taking a well-deserved break as part of the second annual National Mom’s Nite Out™. Ross Park Mall will play local host this nationally recognized celebration for motherhood and the pampering it deserves.  The event will take place in Center Court at the mall from 6-9 p.m. on Thursday, May 6, 2010.

Ross Park Mall will be “mom central” for mothers to come together for a great social networking opportunity. The event will feature live demonstrations, fun interactive activities, free prize giveaways, discounted shopping from participating retailers, entertainment, food sampling and more.

“We realize mom’s control between 85 and 90 percent of household spending, Ross Park Mall is excited to finally give them the recognition they deserve by hosting National Mom’s Nite Out™,” said director of mall marketing Mike Gianoutsos. “We value the commitment that moms provide daily and want to thank them with a well-deserved night off to socialize, relax and enjoy food, entertainment and shopping.”

The event is being orchestrated by Maria Bailey, Host of Mom Talk Radio and author of “The Ultimate Mom Book” (HCI, 2009), as well as top Mom Websites, Newbaby.com, BlueSuitMom.com, and MomSelect.com. National Mom’s Nite Out™ is timed just before the official Mother’s Day holiday; born out of the idea that most moms are busy taking care of other mothers on Mother’s Day. National Mom’s Nite Out™ gives all moms an excuse to take the night off.

“Building on last year’s success, National Mom’s Nite Out™ promises to be one of the largest cooperative efforts of Mommy groups, Mom-focused organizations and corporations, bloggers and vloggers– all coming together for one great night in support of motherhood,” said Bailey.

“We are thrilled that more than 80 Simon malls, located throughout the United States, are participating and encourage all moms to go and enjoy their planned celebrations.”

According to Bailey, last year’s inaugural event drew national attention as Twitter’s #3 “Trending Topic”, over 10 million media impressions through blogs, vlogs, websites and other social media outlets and 400 Mom Bloggers participating in over 1000 nationally-organized events.
