Maybe all we can hope to do is end up with the right regrets. — Arthur Miller
Woulda Coulda Shoulda is my personal blog, where I've been putting it all out there for four years. It's about life, love, parenting, divorce, remarriage, and bacon. Not necessarily in that order. Woulda Coulda Shoulda has received numerous accolades (view links to most of them here), including being a Yahoo! Pick of the Day and being featured in Parents Magazine.
Having it all with less.
Want Not is my "bargain baby," an idea born of the intersection between my incurable tightwad tendencies and a desire to help others who've struggled with money management. While Want Not features shopping deals most prominently, it also shares tips and tricks for living happily within your means and changing how you view your finances. Who says budgeting can't be fun?
You can go home, but you can never leave
I'm delighted to write Work It, Mom!'s blog all about the life of a work-from-home freelancing mom. Sometimes life is just grand; sometimes I feel pulled in a hundred directions. Either way, I'm sharing ideas from the front lines — whether you're a freelancer yourself or you're thinking about becoming one, feel free to pull up a chair in my Cornered Office to get the dirt. (I also write a regular feature on the main Work It, Mom! blog called Casual Friday, which is a just-for-fun blog links round-up to end your week on a high note.)
Licensing industry news and information
I am the Toy Box Mommy at the blog associated with Ty's Toy Box. For their blog I offer dynamic, daily, relevant content on children's media, product licensing, and other items of interest to licensors and Ty's customers. I also coordinate blogger outreach and giveaways with/for them. My standard joke is that I was the Toy Box Mommy before it was cool to have a corporate blog — Ty's was an early believer in the power of blogs, and it's worked out well for both of us.
We find it, you flaunt it
I've joined the savvy team over at Cool Mom Picks to help you discover the greatest kid-related items you might not have known you need. I still think my status as a "cool mom" is debatable, but I'm willing to give it a shot. So far no one has demanded to see my credentials, so, um, don't tell anyone what a geek I actually am. Thanks.
The community for women who blog
I'm proud to be one of the Mommy and Family Editors for the BlogHer community, and have been part of the team since the site's inception. I contribute to the site once a week on topics relevant to folks blogging about family life. Some of my BlogHer posts have been picked up by the Huffington Post, which turned out to be a nice little side benefit of belonging to a community of such sharp, brilliant women. I spoke on a panel about mommyblogging at the BlogHer '06 conference, and am speaking on the "Improve This Pitch" panel at the BlogHer Business '08 conference.
