When my kids saw this picture of me with Shrek at Blogalicious, they asked, “Was that the REAL Shrek from the movie?!” No, kids. Sadly no. But it was still pretty fun.

Blogalicious Weekend Highlights in Pictures
I am home from Blogalicious Weekend and am trying to settle back in to normal life after an amazing conference. This is not the last you will hear about my incredible conference weekend, but I wanted to share a few pictures and highlights from my time there: Blogalicious brought out the silly in me: BTW…
Blogalicious – What I Can’t Wait to Do This Weekend!
Despite the fact that I haven’t even folded the laundry, not to mention done any of the packing for my big Blogalicious Weekend in 2 days, I am over-the-top excited. Early on Friday morning, I’m heading out to my 3rd social media and blogging conference of the year. Here are a few things I can’t…
What Has Inspired You to Grow as a Person?
I was young when I got married. Young when I had my first baby. I don’t have any regrets about starting my family young. In fact, I would recommend it to others. But I will be the first to admit that I did have to put my own needs on the back burner for a…
The Challenges of Working at Home and Taking a Day Off
I am convinced that there is nothing quite like working at home. As much as I love what I do – I write all day long, I get to interact with amazing people all over social media and my business trips feel more like extended girl’s nights out – I have a tendency to work…
Twitter vs Facebook – Which Rules Social Media?
I read a compelling article this past week about the drastic changes that social media has seen in the past 10 years. I was shocked to realize that there was no Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube on September 11, 2001. How different would the experience of 9/11 have been had the people in the middle of…
Blog Traffic – How Important is It?
Blog traffic numbers (and the sharing of them) seems to be akin to a woman’s weight. Unless the numbers are really good or there has been a recent drastic change in numbers, nobody wants to share. The number of visitors a post receives and the number of comments left is often viewed as being directly…
Finding My Voice
I was terribly quiet as a child. I determined early in my teen years (when I was able to analyze myself a little) that my odd combination of self confidence and shyness did not give most people a good impression of me. I’ve always been quiet, but not in a timid, self-conscious way. I just…
Sisterhood of the Bloggess’ Traveling Red Dress
I wrote this post the day after BlogHer ended, and it has been sitting in my drafts since. I didn’t make it to BlogHer this year and was pretty sad about missing it until I attended a local HomeHer party for all of those who couldn’t make the conference. I go to many local blogging…
Why Should I Attend a Blogging Conference?
I was chatting with a local friend of mine after returning from speaking at Blog Paws (the social media and blogging conference for pet bloggers) last week. Since she knows that I don’t have a pet right now (shh!), she was curious why I would have been chosen to speak at the conference. This particular…
