Wanna get in front of 3.5k OC parents every week — and tens of thousands more in print?

Shitty Mom Guide is Orange County's realest newsletter for parents, digital and IRL.

3.5k OC parents, every Thursday. Curated weekend plans, local picks, mom-hacks - plus IRL events that actually sell out. (Hair 101 for Dads. Pole Dancing for Moms. Superhero training camp. You get it.)

No basic ads. Every sponsor mention is written by Frances, in the voice this audience trusts (including social content). None of that ChatGPT shit.

Print edition coming April 2026.

Packages from $200/issue · Featured spots from $750 · Events: let's talk

Meet Frances

Frances Tang is the Shitty Mom behind Shitty Mom Guide because as a mom, it was the resource she wanted.

Before that, she invented the cum sponge (Google it if you dare), built and sold a venture-backed company, and spent a decade making things on the internet that were equal parts useful and unhinged. She's half marketing brain, half AI obsessive, and fully committed to helping brands reach parents because she believes in marketing but doesn’t want it to be boring.

You can find her on Instagram, LinkedIn, or low-key awkwardly pole dancing in her garage.
