Here's my contribution to all the new lines being posted on the board lately: I Am Mom by Echo Park (nonaffiliate link) which is all about housework and motherhood in its everyday life appreciation.
As I'm not a mother (nor plan to be), this isn't really for me (though some of the line is definitely usable for anyone doing housework). But I know most Peas are so enjoy!

I don't really like the color scheme (maybe it will grow on me) but need that shopping cart and mini van stuff...
They also have a new coffee line that I need!

I like some of the patterns, but as I am not a mom and don't do anything round the house, I probably wouldn't get much use out of it!

I like ths collection. I like the colors, the prints, and the minivan (I drive a red one) is pretty funny.

I LOVE it!!! Seriously describes my life for the past 13+ years...complete with coffee and minivan! Not sure how much I would ever use from it, but I will have to keep an eye out for it at my LSS--some might be good for WITL.
I like the color scheme, but there is a tad too much pink...

I am not a Mum and I do as little housework as I can possibly get away with but this is the kind of line I love to use and see how I can change it and work around the theme to make it suit me! I love the challenge of covering up words and replacing them with one that suits me and my photo!

I love the challenge of covering up words and replacing them with one that suits me and my photo! ^^^ hmmm- interesting idea. at first glance, I thought 'nope' but I do like some of the stickers-- the dishdrainer, the stove, the laundry, the laptop, etc. But there's too much pink for my taste, and I'd end up having to cover up way too much 'Mom' stuff to make it usable. |

I like the concept but I don't know how much I scrap about me...it's probably a collection I'll pick up if I spot it at TM or on sale at HL but not at full price

I do like the blue days-of-the-week paper and the black/white stripe, but that's it.
It's too much pink, and I don't want to scrapbook about housekeeping. Plus, ACOT wants $14.99 plus shipping for the pack of 12 sheets of paper and a sheet of stickers. I can't justify it. Pass.

I'm not a mom, but I think a lot of it kind of cool! Definitely could use it for stuff about everyday life and life as a woman! Just my opinion though. I agree there is a little too much pink.

I’m not a mom unless you count fur babies. I don’t think most of this would relate but it is a cute collection.

I love this. But man, I wish we didn't spell mum/mom differently. I know it really doesn't matter but it would irritate me having everything spelled differently.

I like it and can see myself buying it during a retail/feel sorry for myself therapy session. |

While I am a parent, I find the line too feminine, floral, & themed. I won't be buying anything. TFS.

Okay, I guess I'll be the dissenter. I don't like it.
First, holy 1950's housewife cliche, Batman! Ironing board, dish drain, vacuum.
And I must have missed it because surely the company made some kind of mention of working moms, right?
So, sure, my snark is showing because this is clearly a well to do, stay at home, my husband makes good money, line.
This is clearly a pass for me.
If I'm going to document my role in this life, I sure won't be highlighting the moments that I vacuum cat hair and crumbs off the floor, or making a layout about how I bested dirty dishes.

I especially take issue with the "we can't both look good, it's me or the house" card. Unfortunately, I do like some of it, the colours/pps, and I will admit that even tho my DH is a stay-at-home Dad, and I work full time, (and I don't vacuum. And nobody irons!) there are still those stereotypical things that apply to me (but where is the "only Mom can find things"/"mom-eyes" saying?!), plus I definitely want a chipboard kitchen-aid mixer because mine is precious to me! |

For instance, the vacuum...my pitbull is scared of the vacuum, my chihauha tries to attack it. As soon as I saw it, I thought, I need a layout about my dogs. |

While I get your POV and I respect your disinterest in this line, I don't think it's terrible that a line like this exists. Just two weeks ago, I scrapped a layout about my office and how difficult our new software has been. That is part of my life. Part of my life is also that I spend my wild Friday nights cleaning and I drive a minivan. I think there is a legitimate place for a collection like this. |

I really liked the papers until I scrolled down to the stickers/embellishments. I DETEST the terms "squad" and "hustle" so that's probably what soured me. Also, much pink. But I would pick up some of the papers.

That is way too much pink so I couldn't even look at the rest closer.

Glad to see someone else with a similar reaction. I get that everyone’s experience as a mother is different, but I can’t relate to most of the sayings or icons. I don’t expect one collection to perfectly reflect everything for everyone but I also think this plays into many of the stereotypes of what a mother should be. |

Most of it is not for me but I have to get the vacuum for a spread about my little guy and his past obsession with them lol! His 2nd birthday was almost a vacuum-themed birthday party! Seriously. TFS sleepingbooty. |
