Explaining Social Media and Blogging to an IRL Friend Online
A friend of mine. We met a few years ago…at a church playgroup. My friend needed some information about blogging for a business. I wrote a lengthy reply to her. I am wordy hear me roar. My reply made me wonder if I should post my tips. I removed all the identifying references to... »
Oh to Be a Blogging Mom with Little Kids
My tween and teen give me PLENTY to blog about. The arguments. The hissy fits. The temper tantrums. The pouty lips. The rolled eyes. But… …I can barely blog about any of it. You see my girls read my blog. It would be uber awkward for one of them to read a post about them... »
Hard Posts to Write
I have writer’s block from time to time. I’m not a trained writer. Whatever that is. I was an English major. I copyedited and product managed for a publisher for years, so I know good writing when I see it. But, I’m not a journalist. My writing either works or it doesn’t. When it doesn’t... »
#BlogHer Dos…and a Few Don’ts
Writing wrapup posts is hard for me. How can I encapsulate everything in to one single post? It’s hard writing everything in multiple posts, too. I’m giving it a shot. So, here’s my #BlogHer Dos post… Do bring recycled shopping bags — empty ones. When I go to a blogging event, I generally get a recycled... »
#BlogHer Recap with Photos
So it seems a little funny to be writing an update post so long after everyone else, but… I finally uploaded photos to Facebook from BlogHer. A blog post is in order. On the Thursday of BlogHer I was invited to a very intimate gathering with Chris Evert. Evert is the spokesperson for Hood Simply... »
#BlogHer: Regrets I’ve Had a Few…
I contemplated buying a ticket then put it off. I heard about the BlogHer parties. I wanted to go to BlogHer but couldn’t make the decision to spend money I did not have on a ticket. Sponsorship seemed like a longshot. When I heard the announcement about the parties, I was left with no choice... »
#BlogHer Recap…Hard to Write About the Images in My Head
Last year I was jealous to an alarming degree reading tweets and posts and imagining all the fun everyone was having at #BlogHer without me. Green with envy. Not that many people knew who I was. I had only been blogging about 6 months or so…seriously. “Seriously” means I posted more or less every couple... »
Finding My Niche
I suffer from what I call the “rambling, stream of consciousness elevator” pitch. Before BlogHer I worked on my pitch. I posted about my struggle to come up with a good pitch over at MomSpark Forum. I got a few good suggestions. I added. I deleted. I rephrased. My pitch still sounded vague and wishy... »
On My Way to #BlogHer
I wrote this on the train…posting now due to spotty internet… All week I wanted to write a going to BlogHer post. Kids, Swimming. Camp dropoffs and pickups. Playdates. Cleaning. Laundry. Paid work. You name it and I had a reason why I couldn’t get on line to post on my blog. It’s ironic, isn’t it... »
Packing for #BlogHer
Would it make all of you going to BlogHer feel better to know that I just finished packing for TWO trips? It’s 3 a.m. What exactly am I doing up? I should be in bed, but I am collecting paperwork, printing out tickets, and printing business cards. Technically my husband printed them, which is just... »
