Work with Me (contact info and media kit)

Through sharing my experiences raising my three boys, I try to inspire other moms with easy and inexpensive ideas for family fun. My blog (EastCoastMommy.com), which I started in April 2011, contains free tutorials, crafts, holiday fun, party planning, yummy recipes, DIY projects, product reviews, contests, family travel and more.




I love finding easy, inexpensive, and unique ways to build a home for, and have fun with, my family. I also love to share my favorite products and ideas with my loyal readers.

Do you have a product that I need to try?

I adore working with brands I believe in, and I pride myself on using my brand and voice to share products with my audience in an authentic way. I like creating content that is interesting and useful to my readers. I prefer focusing on creating a branded narrative with product placement over a product review/ad. 

Here's an example of what I am talking about: https://eastcoastmommyblog.blogspot.com/2022/04/fun-ways-to-decorate-room-for-hockey-fan.html

If you are interested in working with me, I'd be happy to discuss opportunities for:
  • sponsored posts (with quality, well thought out content and photos) 
  • social media promotion 
  • brand ambassadorships 
  • reviews/giveaways (I prefer reviews in conjunction with a giveaway over straight reviews, as they get more attention from my readers.) 
To download a copy of my 2022 media kit: right-click on the picture below and print the 8 X 10 jpeg.


Please email me at EastCoastMommy@gmail.com for more information and rates.

I look forward to working with you!

About Me

Welcome to my little corner of the internet. My name is Gina Bell, and in 2011, I started my first blog... www.EastCoastMommy.com. I am a writer, content creator, blogger, brand ambassador, craft class teacher, wife and mom to three sweet boys. This is me...



And this is my family...





I am a syndicated columnist, and I have contributed to several blogs and publications, including Family Fun Magazine (Disney), CBC Parents and Canadian Living. After ten years living in Toronto, I left my corporate job to return, with my family, to my home on the East Coast. My blog (EastCoastMommy.com) focuses on easy and inexpensive family fun. It’s full of tutorials, crafts, holiday fun, party planning, yummy recipes, DIY projects, travel tips and more. 

 I also have a newer blog (which I started in January 2018) that focuses on party planning. You can check it out at www.DIYparties.ca.

 I love to create things, travel, plan parties, drink coffee and wine, eat chocolate, and spend time with my family... and most of my days are spent hanging out at rinks with my three hockey-crazy boys.

I'd be delighted if you would follow my blogs and check me out on social media here:

It's NOT about Perfection

I had such a great response to my I am NOT a Supermom post a couple of weeks ago, that I thought I would share something my six year old reminded me of last week:  It is fun to make crafts with kids, but it really doesn't matter how they turn out.


The other day, my son came up with a craft all on his own.  {See above.}  He asked me for the supplies he needed, and he went to work.  He was super-proud of the Valentine decoration he came up with.

Craft/projects don't have to be difficult or fancy.  The point of doing projects with kids is:  to spend time together and to let them be creative. 

I LOVE when my kids teach me important lessons.  :-)

I am NOT a Supermom

Since I started this blog in April 2011, I have had some people call me a "Super Mom".  For the record, it isn't true.  I am like most moms out there.... I am a hard working mom trying my best to create a good childhood for my boys.


The boys who inspire me to be the best mom I can be.

The intent of this blog is NOT to prove that I am better than anyone else or make anyone feel bad.  In fact, my goal is to  inspire and support other moms.  I know being a mom is a tough job, and I want to take this opportunity to thank all the  moms out there who support and inspire me.

That being said, I thought I would share this list with you:

5 Things about me that are NOT "Super"

1)  Most days, my beds aren't made.

2)  My laundry is out of control, and I sometimes dress my kids in clothes directly out of the dryer.

3)  I don't dust, vacuum, or clean my floors often enough.

4)  I buy clothes that don't need to be ironed (because I am terrible at ironing).

5)  My brain has turned to mush.  (I graduated Cum Laude from University, and now I call my boys by the wrong names on a regular basis.  Can you blame "baby brain" when your youngest is 2 1/2?)

Now that I have that off my chest, I am going to go sneak a cookie while my boys are finishing their lunch.  Is it too late to add "I eat too many cookies" to the list???
