I just recorded my first video for MetropolitanMama.net. And I feel like a dork and a half. Janice of 5 Minutes for Mom (I love her - and her twin sister Susan too!) called me last night on Skype at midnight to ask me if I would cohost a Snazl party with them today and […]
Last year, I went to BlogHer. This year, I woke up and nursed the baby in bed (it's one of my favorite parts of the morning). Then, I ate yogurt with my 2-year-old at the kitchen table. My friend Rhonda came over with her almost-2-year-old son and we made homemade granola bars (I finally tried […]
"You're invited to join an exclusive group of bloggers for an all-expenses-paid trip to..." I have received 6 e-mail invitations like that in the past year. Guess how many events I attended? Zero.

Let's think about TV for a minute. You're watching your favorite show and an ad starts rolling. Did you know that there's a good chance that the 30-second piece about deodorant or potato chips that you're watching cost $300,000-$700,000? FOR 30 SECONDS! Or let's say you are skimming Parents Magazine. A full-page, color ad costs […]
So, here's the thing about product reviews. I think they're fun - fun to write and fun to read. I appreciate creatively crafted reviews that have a personal touch. It's super helpful to read another mom's take on things and I often make purchasing decisions based on reviews in the blogosphere. There are really two […]
