This happened several months ago, and from what I gathered it was kind of a complicated issue. Basically Conductor Sam's job at SDC wasn't good enough for him and his families' needs, so he moved on. The new Mom's blog was then crafted as a part of SDC's intense focus on advertising to mom's, but of course we all really miss the old blog. It had a ton of interesting stuff, and it would be a really awesome place to check out this year with the big 09 project going on.
