LIVE BLOGGING: There's More to Monetization than Advertising

***Featuring Stephanie Agresta (Internet Geek Girl), Kristen Hammond (owner of Baby Brewing), Lynn Truong (WiseBread), and Dana Loesch (mamalogues).

Scrub Your Way to Sparkling Shower Doors

I just finished talking about eco-friendly and less chemical-y products so it seems strange to switch gears and write about SC Johnson's new Action Scrubber Scrubbing Bubbles product, but... It's easy. It works. It's disposable. It's affordable. It's convenient. So it has a few good things going for it. My husband scrubbed down the shower […]

Entertain with Ease...with Coleman Air Beds

I've mentioned in the past that I have a red folder that has magazine clippings and sketches and scribbles of all of the things that I would want in a "dream home" (picture on the right isn't it...that is just a visual for your viewing pleasure...). Here's a "sneak peek" into the folder... One story  […]

Those "results" make sense to me because I can walk into new places and […]

Now THIS Is A Vacation!

My husband and I originally planned on honeymooning in Jamaica at an all-inclusive resort. Then, 9/11 happened and our flight on Air Jamaica got cancelled so we ended up going on a cruise down the Mexican Riviera (that's us to the left, newly married with stars in our eyes). The cruise was lovely - the […]

Themed Weekend: Traveling with Baby

I LOVE traveling. Or, I should really say that I love destinations. Being stuck in a little seat where the air recirculates and the bathrooms are minuscule is not necessarily my idea of fun. Long road trips aren't much better, especially since Motion Sickness often sneaks into our car and invites himself along (how rude!). I've been […]

The conference is being held in San Francisco this year and 1,000 people are expected to attend. Sessions will cover everything from video blogging to monetizing blogs to driving traffic […]
