Sustainable Kitchen Project Challenges
Originally posted on: October 25th, 2008Thanks to renewed interest in my Sustainable Kitchen Project after a fellow editor at Blog Nosh was nice enough to highlight it, I thought this would be a good time to actually update my status. I also think it’s very cool that this inspired another blogger to create her own Sustainable Kitchen Project. Watch soon [...]
Poverty and the Rise of NICU Babies
Originally posted on: October 15th, 2008When I thought about what topic to write about for Blog Action Day, it was kind of a no-brainer for me. I have three NICU babies (well, they aren’t babies anymore). All told, their NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Units) stays added up to a good $150,000-plus. That didn’t even include the delivery.

Independent Blogger Conference Greensboro
Originally posted on: October 12th, 2008Hello. I am organizing the first half of the day of the Independent Blogger Conference in Greensboro (or whatever name you’d care to call it… I kind of like Blogger Fringe Fest, but clearly we aren’t that formal).

Originally posted on: October 12th, 2008I had yet another case of cash register rage this week.

And where is that lack [...]
Disney World 2.0 with the Moms Panel

It also seems to me a bit that the older and bigger the company, the more grumpy dudes in gray suits sit in board rooms shooting down ideas related to modern and social marketing. I was [...]
I’ve Been Memed
Originally posted on: October 10th, 2008I thought I would dodge it. I cringed when I heard it. But I guess I will go ahead and reveal things about myself. Sigh. Dani tagged me (@dani3boyz on Twitter), so now I need to tell you six things you wouldn’t know about me from my blog. I’m going with a Presidential theme with [...]
My Type-A Mom Interview at LuckyStartups.com
Originally posted on: October 9th, 2008I was recently interviewed by the cool web site, Lucky Startups, about Type-A Mom. I really enjoyed it, and it provided me a chance to talk about why I created Type-A Mom and my mission there to, one day, be a site where any mom can make a decent living working from home, have more [...]
Reverse Grocery Shopping List
Originally posted on: October 7th, 2008For the past three weeks, I have spent about 25-50 percent more than I normally do for groceries. And this isn’t indulging in gourmet items, or even getting anything beyond the essentials. There’s a post that’s been rattling around in my head and I just hadn’t gotten around to posting it, and now I think [...]
