Humor

Blogging is work, too.

September 5, 2011

It’s Labor Day. I don’t know the origins of the holiday or honestly why we celebrate it. (Yes, I know there is Google for that. Or Wikipedia, the ultimate source of truth and knowledge). All I know is that it’s a day off of work. If I actually worked in an office. So what do [...]

Things to Do While You’re Not at BlogHer

August 3, 2011

I understand conference envy. I have it every time I don’t go to something because no matter how hard you try, you see the tweets and you either are sick to death of it or you just can’t look away. During these times, you need two things. You need humor and you need distraction. Make [...]

It must be hard to be Lady GaGa

July 29, 2011

I’m going to have to break the news to you. I am NOT a rock star. In fact, I never was a rock star. I didn’t really even have aspirations of being a rock star. While I may have some musical talent, singing is not part of that talent. Nor is dancing (which isn’t musical, [...]

Midnight Drive to Nowhere

July 11, 2011

This is going to be really hard for most of you. But try to imagine, if you will, a time before cell phones… Can’t do it? Me neither. It’s really, really hard to remember the days when having a cell phone seemed more like a really neat idea than an actual reality. Today, our phones [...]

Conference Season has arrived.

June 22, 2011

It’s arrived for me, anyway. I missed Blissdom in Nashville. But I didn’t really want to go anyway, remember? I missed Mom 2.0 because my budget said that I couldn’t afford a luxury vacation by myself to New Orleans even if it was “business-related.” I bought my ticket for Type-A Parent conference several months ago [...]

My housekeeping skills finally gain me recognition

May 20, 2011

Let’s make this post quick and fun today.   I’m not one of those bloggers that gets my inbox flooded with pitches and offers and opportunities every day. Even still, I do overlook many emails because I’m just not all that organized. Side note: if you’ve ever emailed me and I’ve never responded, please don’t [...]

Fadra’s List of Top Blogging Things: Awards for the Rest of Us

May 18, 2011

None of us really blogs for recognition, right? We’re in it for the love of writing. Or free stuff. At least, I know I am. But every once in a while, we’d like a little peer recognition. Most of the time, it comes in the form of a comment. “Yay! Someone read my post!” Sometimes [...]

The Patron Saint of the Religiously Incorrect

May 9, 2011

Something popped into my head at the oddest time, as it usually does, last week. It was another morning where I had woken up to take my son to his sitter’s for the day and I realized… I forgot to take a shower. I used to work full time and a shower or a bath [...]

How do you people find me?

March 22, 2011

This is actually an SEO (search engine optimization) post. I’m not going to tell you how to optimize your blog for searches on places like Google because clearly, I’m still working on that. Here’s what I mean. If you have Google Analytics, you have the ability to see the keywords, or search terms, people use [...]

Do You Speak Engrish?

March 4, 2011

Please don’t take offense at the title of my post. It’s a nod to one of the funniest blogs ever, ever, ever called Engrish.com.  That particular blog is dedicated to common misuses of the English language. Since I’ve been traveling to China for the past 3 weeks as part of my Armchair Traveler series, I [...]
