Things I don’t expect to see while on vacation

April 7, 2008

A snowstorm in April: This is not what I call “spring skiing.” A random product I reviewed a long time ago (so long that I can’t even find it in my archives) staring at me from the bar where I was enjoying a drink called, “The Geisha.” To my knowledge, Gloves in a Bottle is [...]

Where I’ve been, where I’m going

January 23, 2008

Hi! It’s me again. From the other side of motherhood.  The stay-at-home side.  Actually, staying at home hasn’t been all that realistic since I stopped working last week.  A visit to the family in Michigan, a mother-in-law visiting to take care of Junior this week, really makes me feel like a lady who lunches as opposed to a [...]

Dispensing tech advice. Who, me?

November 7, 2007

Getting dressed up and going to work occasionally has its privileges.  Like today, for instance.  I was able to wear my favorite new sweater dress and boots (it’s finally dipped below 50 degrees in Chicago, yay!), and could easily justify sneaking away for a few to attend a mom blogger event.  Add to it that I was able [...]

I’m such a liability they should take out an insurance policy on me

October 3, 2007

This blog post on whether pregnancy (or working motherhood) is a liability really caught my eye.  Based on a response to the allegations that Bloomberg LP demoted female employees after they announced their pregnancy, the post’s author, BusinessWeek writer Lauren Young, questions whether or not being pregnant or returning from maternity leave inhibits your ability to move up [...]

The art of promoting yourself

July 27, 2007

Interesting Q&A session at BlogHer currently about self-promotion and self-branding. Professionals Penelope Trunk, Nina Burokas, and Stephanie Cockerl have some good insights about building and maintaining your own personal brand and blog.  This is all being written while sitting on the floor for an hour-and-a-half, so bear with me. Self-branding is like 5th grade- be smart [...]

The scoop on what to do while in Chicago for BlogHer

July 16, 2007

Considering I live in the host city of the 2007 BlogHer conference, and I blog with many fine Chicago mommies, I thought it was my duty to share with all visitors some things to see or do in the city outside of meeting our favorite bloggers and partying it up. I even recruited a few friends to help expand [...]

May 2, 2007

Mother’s Day is less than two weeks away, and if you’re like me – a little bit bossy and love getting gifts – you’re all over the internet searching for the perfect gift for yourself.  I soak up the glory of Mother’s Day.  The day created to celebrate the fact that I suffered through the aches and pains [...]

I know Google and Google knows me

April 24, 2007

If you’ve even paid half-attention to my blog in the past two days, you’d know that I was at Google Chicago today to sit on a “tech savvy mom panel” at event called “Mothers Know Tech.”  By the end of the very well-coordinated afternoon, I felt like I knew everything there was to know about mommy online behavior.  The trade [...]

Google event: Mother Knows Tech Discussion- some good facts for marketers

April 24, 2007

By the way- all the stuff I blog about and the presentations I reference will be available via a link after the conference.  I also have no clue if I’m doing this “live blogging” thing correctly, so sorry if this is really long and boring. And finally, I’m a crazy notetaker… I’ll try to edit. But I [...]
