I wrote on Facebook the other day about how my time as a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom) seems like another life. This is the space where I documented most of those days. When I take time to come back here it is usually because I am looking for a photo or photos, not necessarily to reminisce. And…
Life in Words
I often say “I could write a book about all the {insert randomly connected experiences here} over the years.” The funny thing is, in a way, I have written a book on this blog. It has taken many years to document a life which is pretty darn good, considering the ups and downs. A full…
Faces and Places of Mom 2.0 & Some BIG News!
Florida is a magical place. The Ritz Carlton is even more magical. The most magic though, is found in my friends. Writers, influencers, go-getters, travelers, drivers, down-right passionate people. The last session I attended at Mom 2.0 2017 was small and intimate, and those of us in the room dug a little deep, while…
Ten Years A Blogger
Today is my ten-year blog-iversary. Yes, that’s right, TEN years. Hard to believe! I wish I had screen shots of all the old designs. I think I am on the sixth one. At least I have old business cards to document a few of them. Since I started writing here, so many words have come…
Facebook: The Jerk You Hate to Love
I am pissed at Facebook. Because I think it is very responsible for people not reading my blogs anymore very much. I mean, think about it – back before Facebook really became a “thing” we had more time to read longer, better things. We were watching fewer videos and getting less huffy about “vaguebooking”. We had…
BlogHer ’16 – Pretty Epic
On the second day of BlogHer it was not yet time to wash my hair, since I do it every other day. The night before I relaxed in the hot tub with some really good friends and part of my ponytail dipped in the warm, bubbly water as we chatted and soaked our happy bodies. Then the security…
Writing Writer Writes
This blog will be a decade old in a few months. Hard to believe in some ways. I am by nature a reminiscer, so I like to think back on things… where they began and how they evolved. When I started writing little snippets about my life as a mother of 1.5 kids and a…
Redefining at Mom 2.0
“I have what I call ‘moments of great gumption’”. – Meredith Sinclair “All I have to be is me.” – Allison Slater Tate “Allow your schedule to be altered.” – Danielle Walker “For tweets – it should be something you would say to your friend.” – Kj Dell’Antonia These are not my words. They are…
Pie & Other Fall Things – Old School Blogging
Fall competes with spring for the “favorite season” award in my mind. While I do love the colors and temps of fall, I think I like all the flowers and the “newness” of spring more. But spring does not have as much pie so… it’s really a toss up! (summer also has its merits, like no…
Totally Type A
Lest you think I am talking about my personality in the title (I might be a little…) I am actually talking about the conference I went to last week, Type A Parent. I cannot say enough good things about this conference! It was a wonderful size, in a great venue/location (Grand Hyatt in…
