Blogmas 2012: It’s About the Writing

January 11, 2013

I went to a blogging conference last year that included a town hall meeting of sorts. It was a chance to talk about the state of the parenting blogosphere and the issues that were weighing on our minds. As the conversation went deeper and deeper into talk sof monetization and revenue streams, someone stood up [...]

Blogmas 2012: Motherhood is a Strong Emotion

January 10, 2013

  Yesterday, I posted the funny. It’s easy to pick out the funny posts. But not every nomination comes neatly packaged into a category like humor. So I end up reading all of the posts and trying to find some common themes. Last year, I found a lot of funny, smart, touching posts. And it [...]

Blogmas 2012: Laughter is the Best Medicine (now grab your spoon and take some)

January 8, 2013

Today, I’m continuing in the Blogmas spirit and finally starting with the first of four days of fan favorites. These are posts nominated by YOU and read and ranked (not really) by me. Why me? Because it’s my blog. As I read each post, I kind of group them into categories. Some are more difficult [...]

Blogmas: The 10 Best Things I Read in 2012

January 7, 2013

The cool thing about hosting Blogmas (which is a wee bit overdue) is that I get to make all the decisions. Including how many awards to give out and to whom and when. But many of you know, I am NOT the queen of consistency. I’m late this year but it’s not for lack of [...]

All the Holiday Posts You Missed (and trust me, you shouldn’t)

December 21, 2012

Since I’ve been working a REAL job (real = I have to get up and get dressed and shower and put on make-up and go to an office and I earn a steady paycheck), I’ve been keeping up just fine with my writing. In fact, I love it more than ever. Still wishing I had [...]

Blogging as a Working Mom

November 7, 2012

I’ve spent the last three years focused on my presence in social media and blogging. And frankly, I’ve loved almost every single minute of it. I never had a passion for anything professionally until I moved into this space. I fell in love with blogging, and writing, and the entire community. I also felt welcome [...]

Happy Blogoversary to Me!

September 9, 2012

I never really pay much attention to dates but this year, I was thinking about when I started this blog. I knew the anniversary of the date I started was right around now, so on a whim last night, I checked the date of my very first post ever. September 9, 2009 Well, I couldn’t [...]

The Comments You Never See

August 27, 2012

Today, I’m sharing a story about comments and connections. But if you don’t make it to the end of the story, PLEASE leave me a comment today anyway. It’s worth $20 to someone who needs it. Read on… — I recently read a book called “The Blue Sweater.” I wasn’t really sure it was my [...]

On the Road to BlogHer

August 22, 2012

I’ve written four posts about BlogHer12 already. I’ve made two videos. How much more can there be to talk about? Well, I haven’t told you about my trip up and my trip back. And if I were to tell you, it might make for a rather dull story. It would go something like this… I [...]
