Not BlogHer 2011

July 21, 2011

I guess as I get older and lazier as a blogger the desire to attend BlogHer wanes. You’d think it’d be the other way around, but I’ve always had that love/hate thing going on with my blog. Which is why I only go to BlogHer when it’s in Chicago. So, when everyone else is posting [...]

Eau de Barista

July 12, 2011

There are many benefits to not having an office for my job. First, there’s the cost – it’s cheap. Then, there’s the convenience – I can work in my pajamas, in my bed and while watching repeats of Sex in the City in the background. I can have un-brushed teeth, hair and look un-glamorous even [...]

From the SMM Archives

July 7, 2011

I’m knee deep in work and my typical summer vacation from blogging lull. But Marijean had a great idea – if I don’t feel like posting new content here, why not dredge up some of my best posts from the past? Aha! You all who’ve been around long enough must remember all of my nanny [...]

You know you’re online too late at night when…

June 7, 2011

I’ve come to the sad realization that my productivity rises at, oh, about 10 pm. After my kids are fast asleep, I hope, after my husband goes to bed (which isn’t a reach since he goes to bed just when I’m about to eat dinner), I’m usually sitting at my computer catching up on the [...]

An unintended absence

May 30, 2011

I swear I did not mean to abandon my blog this May, but after throwing a kick-ass (if I say so myself) VIP Moms Party at the new and much improved Denim Lounge Store on Roscoe, hitting the coast of California for a little R&R and then the not-surprising, but still unfortunate passing of my [...]

My life in numbers

May 1, 2011

Today is my fourth anniversary on Twitter. I’m sure I’ve been tweeting longer than a lot of famous people, but I only have roundabout 1700 followers and half of those are probably spammers. What gives? I have almost 1000 on Facebook but I can’t even remember to call my friends IRL on their birthdays even [...]

My fave features of the Microsoft Windows phone

April 27, 2011

I’ve really been enjoying the Microsoft Windows Phone that I got to test for the Mom 2.0 Summit earlier this month. So much that I get a little teary-eyed thinking of how I’m going to have to go back to regularly using my blah Blackberry soon. The phone definitely has its advantages and so I [...]

Wrap-up report from Mom 2.0

April 16, 2011

I haven’t been to a blogging conference, or any “conference” for that matter for 2 years, which is  like 17.5 in blog years. Basically, it’s been a long time since I showed my face to anything blog. But I picked the Mom 2.0 conference as one I wanted to attend for several reasons: 1) it’s [...]

Wherein I discuss my mom 2.0 sponsorship by Microsoft Windows Phone – yay!

April 14, 2011

As I mentioned before, I rarely get asked to do stuff through my blog, and when I do, it usually is to review paper clips, or something really exciting like that. But because I’m having a week of awesome (except for the start of today, which was decidedly NOT awesome, therefore I’m not writing about [...]

Brand and blogger magic

April 8, 2011

This never happens to me. I’m a very very fortunate person, but I never win anything or get offered much. Unless you count the time I won a mountain bike my senior year of high school when my mom was on the raffle committee. I swear to g-d it wasn’t rigged. But this week it [...]
