Mom Blog SEO eBook Preorders

I am excited to announce my upcoming book, Mom Blog SEO. I decided to do this because many mom bloggers were very interested in my SEO makeover.

Breaking Blogger’s Block

We’ve all been there. Sitting in front of the computer, staring it down, with words escaping us. Blogger’s block can be so frustrating. I was inspired by a Skype chat with my friend Amanda, aka @HighImpactMom, who has been struggling with blogger’s block to share some tips to overcome...

Type-A Mom Conference

Yes, it is sad that Type-A Mom Conference is my conference and I am the last to do a post. It’s hard to describe the post-conference exhaustion that sets in. I also have had so much in my mind that the idea of culling it down to one post was overwhelming. I am not even going to try to, so this...

Join the Sustainable Kitchen Project

As spring arrives, I’ve been thinking over the past year since I started my personal Sustainable Kitchen Project. I actually accomplished quite a bit considering the hectic pace of a busy mom.

We’re Going to Disney World

In two days, we hit the road to experience the holidays at Disney World. This was kind of an impromptu thing. It started with my previous post on the Mom Panel. I wrote about all the holiday happenings there for my Suite101 Family Adventures site. What really clinched it, for me, was when I heard that...

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....
