Blog Kharma
I always find it a little interesting that some people are stingy. It seems to be a natural web inclination to be a tightwad with linking, or promoting others, or sending people to other sites (even *gasp* competing sites). Here is the thing that I’ve practiced, and it has not only allowed me to be […]
Job Hunting 2.0 - How One Mom Landed Her Dream Job on Twitter
If you have even taken the slightest peek and my blog or my tag cloud, you know there are a couple subjects that get me going. One is just how social networks - and my particular addition, Twitter - are transforming the way we do everything from making friends to getting the news to sharing […]
You’re Invited to the BlogHer Pity Party
Seeing how many of us mom bloggers are bummed about missing BlogHer (since I’ve gotten 30-some comments on the BlogHer 2008 Pity Party contest in, like, 24 hours’ time), I decided we needed a real party. So we’ll be having a BlogHer 2008 Pity Party chat. Here are the details:

Evolving and Devolving from Career Mom to Work at Home Mom
It’s been seven months since I made the leap. It was a leap that I’d longed to do for years, yet I felt panic-stricken about actually doing once the time had arrived. In December, I switched from a career mom to a work at home mom. This may not sound like a big deal. But […]
