It’s not often that two of my favorite things to blog about happen to intersect but today you’re in luck. Mom blogger drama has made its way to the association world. Score. But actually this is a post I’ve been meaning to write for a while about a topic that I am sort of torn […]

I don’t know if it’s just all the rain that has me in a foul mood or what, but I just saw a tweet that that capped off a feeling that’s been brewing inside me for a while and triggered this rant. It was a tweet from a big name “influencer”–or “social media guru”–take your […]

Yesterday my friend Deirdre tweeted me a link to a blog post about a topic she knows I’m “passionate” about (read: obsessed with): blogger compensation.

In case you didn’t already know this about me, I have two kids–a 12 year-old son and a 14 year-old daughter. One of their favorite things to do is watch stupid videos on YouTube–videos they hear about from their friends on Facebook (yes, I know you’re supposed to be 14 to be on Facebook but […]

Am I the only one who’s gotten past the honeymoon period with Foursquare and is wondering what the point is anymore? Lately I’ve found myself either not checking in at all or feeling kind of like a chump when I do bother to check in. There seems to be so much hype about Foursquare and […]
