The BEST EVER Internet Marketing Book for Moms!

I had the privilege of completing a 10 week internship with Kelly McCausey the guru of the Moms Talk Network. Although I've been blogging for years, I took this opportunity b/c of a Tweet Kelly made calling for interns. Her proposal? Give me 10 weeks and I'll give you the BEST blogging education of your life! And she SO delivered on that promise.

Charm School for Networking Organizations

I decided to throw caution into the wind, go with the flow, fly by the seat of my pants and allow my boys (ages 5 & 7) to invite into my freshly cleaned house two of their neighborhood friends to play the Wii. The first two hours weren't bad. I finished some laundry and got a start on clearing some clutter here in my home office. THEN the doorbell rings. It's another friend who wants… Continue

Embarrassing Moment--good laugh at my expense!

So let's start by giving you some background...I'm ENDOWED, to put it nicely. A blessing AND a curse! As I approach my mid 30's, I've noticed that the "girls" like to travel south a bit. The answer--a custom bra fitting! Yes--one of those places where "professionals" ask you to undress completely from the waist up so they can CONFIRM your worst nightmare--sagging breasts, overflowing side boob and the all too popular "back butt". So, a member of my local women in business chapter happens to own… Continue
