BlogHer announces Voices of The Year for 2013

Posted on by July 5, 2013

I’ve got big news. No not pregnant. But it’s equally miraculous.

A couple months ago I submitted some of my blog posts for BlogHer’s Voices of The Year. For my friends who aren’t really into blogging, but thankfully read mine, BlogHer is the largest community of women bloggers. It’s got an audience of 92 million each month.

It’s where you get up before a crowd and read something you’ve written about motherhood. You don’t have to be a mom to do it, you just have to have a mom.

Anyway, on a whim I signed up to audition. Right after I … Read more ...

She’sWrite is on The Mom Pledge, A Movement Against Cyberbullying

Posted on by February 9, 2012

Today’s a great day at She’sWrite. Well, it’s always a great day here, but today is especially cool because I’m being featured on The Mom Pledge.

The Mom Pledge is a community of bloggers who have made a promise to treat each other with respect, basically trying to eradicate cyberbullying among moms. It can be a rough and tumble world out here on the World Wide Web, and since life is hard enough, why add to the drama?

If you’re finding me through The … Read more ...
