Blog Bits & Pieces

On finding a tribe (or a pity party)

September 14, 2011

Preface:  I hate “woe is me” posts. Unless they are “woe is me, I’m sleep deprived, my baby is teething and my toddler is running circles around me” posts.  But yet, I’ve had this “thing” on my mind that I just can’t shake. So maybe by writing it down, by pouring my heart out, I’ll shake [...]

Around the internet in two weeks

August 18, 2011

I’ve been writing my heart out lately.  By far the most challenging was a freelance article for a local magazine on the options in our area for senior citizens.  Yeah.  Because a 2,500-word article about senior citizens is sort of like the 500-word blog posts about my kids that I’m used to writing.  But! I [...]

A New Blog

July 19, 2011

This working mom thing? It’s challenging learning to balance the “mom” me with the “professional” me.  It’s crushing leaving in the mornings when the kids are just out of bed, still with sleep marks on their sweet little faces.  It’s rewarding to go to work and contribute to a project, a campaign, a business objective.  [...]

This is why I SHOULD blog

June 2, 2011

I don’t blog to be famous.  I don’t blog to be rich.  I don’t blog to stir up controversy and get everyone’s panties in a bunch over various parenting choices.  I don’t blog to make friends (although I have and it’s the best perk of this gig.  hands down.)  I blog because I knew I [...]

Disconnected.

July 27, 2010

A few months ago when I started sharing the ins and outs and ups and downs of my mommyhood with the world, I found myself consumed by it.  Captivated.  Curious.  Hooked. I needed to be “connected” all. the. time.  I was constantly checking Twitter on my phone, subscribing to blog after blog in my Google [...]

Guest Posting at Chill, Mama, Chill

June 23, 2010

I’m not here today.  But don’t fear, I’ve not run out of things to say…  I’m just sharing one of my best “maternally insane” moments with Brandee at Chill, Mama, Chill.  Go check it out.  She says all sorts of nice things about me, which have totally gone to my head, cause she is one of [...]

TTBH & Handcuffs

June 22, 2010

—————– Handcuffs? Really? I’m supposed to use that word in my blog today? ::Sigh:: Diana and her rules. You people who are here from her blog hop should know that “handcuffs” is not a word that just comes up in my ordinary, everyday conversation. Or probably most people’s. But I like to play along, so… [...]

Kickin’ off blog hop Tuesdays

June 15, 2010

Trying something new again here on my corner of the internet with a Twitter/Blog friend, Diana from Hormonal Imbalances. I’ll let her tell you about it below. But if you’re new here, check out the posts on the right – they are some of my favorites. Or check out the “Baby of the Year” tab [...]

Karing For Keegan

June 8, 2010

There are so many things about parenthood that scare me.  Like any day now, I’m sure my kid is going to suceed in throwing herself off of the couch or bed when I’m trying to change her.  Or the first time a friend doesn’t want to play with her on the playground and she feels [...]

I didn’t know hiccups were funny (& a little promotion for a blog friend)

May 26, 2010

Last night I was getting a rather grumpy baby girl ready for her bath.  I sat her down in the exersaucer while I filled her bathtub and collected her pjs.  And she whined because clearly it’s more fun to try to throw herself off of my bed than be stuck in the exercauser with toys [...]
