Blogging Queens, a.k.a. My 3 Words for 2010

I was inspired by Chris Brogan’s post today, My 3 Words for 2010. I think it’s a great way to summarize your goals, mission and vision for the coming year. The year 2009 was a wild ride. I spoke at several conferences, and hosted Type-A Mom Conference. I launched Momtent and I am organizing...

Freelance Rates – How Bloggers Can Set Their Rates

Setting freelance rates can be tricky. Often there is little information out there to see what others are charging (especially for bloggers), and even more often there is little guidance for the many variables from client to client. In the comments on Mom Bloggers Deserve to Get Paid, I could see a lot...

Launching Momtent to Connect Mom Bloggers and Companies

There has been a lot of talk lately about a few key issues surrounding the mom blogosphere and ethical ways for brands to work with and engage mom bloggers. That got me motivated to launch a site I’ve had in the back of my mind for a while: Momtent. Here are some of the concerns I’ve been...

Are You Coming to Type-A Mom Conference?

I love how the blogosphere is like one big family. My friend Sarah of Real Life (who just so happens to even live close to me in real life… in Boone, NC) was wondering who else is coming to Type-A Mom Conference. So instead of that being another task on my to-do list, she created this: Are you...

Visiting iRobot

I just got back from a fun and fascinating trip to Boston, all expenses paid courtesy of iRobot. I wanted to go for a couple reasons. One, I love Boston (and the trip prompted me to do a post at Suite101 on Boston Sightseeing with Kids). Two, I dig gadgets, electronics, and all geeky things. Robots?...

I had a lot of fun doing the WYFF-4 appearance last weekend. I talked a lot about Twitter, social media and the blogosphere. The videos are now up. Here is part one: Here is part two: And I did a Whrrl story on my experience:

My Sunday NBC News Appearance

I am very excited that Sunday I will appear on WYFF-4, the Greenville NBC affiliate, to talk about KelbyCarr.com (and I think some of my other blogs). If you are in the local Asheville or Greenville area, it will air Sunday on the local morning news. For everyone else, I am hoping to get a clip to post...

Forget the Line Between Business and Personal in Social Networking

Forget this idea that business and personal life are separate, at least if you want to find true success in social networking. What is becoming increasingly clear is that the lines between our business and personal lives are blurring (when social networking in particular), like it or not. The most common...

Motrin’s Offensive Mom Ad is Proof Companies Must Hire Chief Mom Officers

Have you seen this ridiculous Motrin commercial? The one that says moms wear their babies because it’s in fashion, and to look like an “official mom.” The one that asks if baby wearing makes moms cry. Also be sure to watch the baby version, which claims moms secretly want to be committed....

Poverty and the Rise of NICU Babies

When 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....
