How I Became Published & Resources
In the last 21 months, I’ve shared my passion with other moms who wanted to know how I became published in regional parenting publications. I realized that if I put it up on my blog, I can direct someone to my blog so they could read it, and I wouldn’t have to worry about forgetting […]
Happiest Mom, Part 2: Writing the Book
When I found out that IMP3RfeCT Mom was selected to be part of the blog book tour, not only did I want to ask Meagan Francis a myriad of questions about Happiest Mom but I HAD to ask her about the process of writing it. However, I had to moderate my excitement that I was […]

In the beginning of our conversation she asked me if she sprinkled magic fairy dust on me (paraphrased) and […]
Momentum
Definition: In physics, the property or tendency of a moving object to continue moving. Currently, I have none…Momentum, that is. Participating in the blogathon required me to write daily and to be honest, the prizes were an additional incentive. I blogged every day for 31 days. I can’t remember when I’ve been that diligent with […]
My Choice; Your Choice
The 2010 Blogathon is finishing up tomorrow, and it’s been a ride for me. Looking over my posts, I have found myself encouraging parents. I’m still testing the waters with the skill of being able to laugh at myself without being disparaging. Photography is a brand adventure for me too, because I found the truth […]
The House is Still Standing.
I hate Christmas letters. People who you’ve lost touch with, send out these letters with all of their family’s accomplishments and the exotic places they have traveled to.
