After months of preparation, taping, editing, more taping, more editing, it’s finally here. Remember back in June I posted a blog about auditioning for an Internet TV show on FirstRun.tv called Mommy Bloggers (which has since been renamed to Mother Bloggers)? And then I blogged about it again in September announcing that not only did […]

Guest Blogger? Me? Thanks, BirthdayFreebies.com
Heads up, everybody. Right now I’m a guest blogger on a fun website called BirthdayFreebies.com, a free search engine that helps you find national and local birthday offers. As the host of my own popular blog, I’m often asked to be a guest blogger on other blogs. The point of this being that these other […]
How to Write an Award Winning Speech
The other day I did a radio interview by phone about all the Toastmasters competitions I’ve done in the last year. Everything was going swimmingly until the interviewer said, “I think what our listeners really want to know is how to write an award winning speech.” I sat there dumbfounded and thought, Come on, does […]
Momsense by Any Other Name is Confusing
Sometimes when you poke around on the Web you find some pretty interesting stuff. For example, recently I discovered that there are five (count ‘em) five blogs with the word “momsense” in the title, and those are just the ones that come up on the first two pages of a Yahoo search! (Who knows how […]
Blog Ads: Today’s Theme Leads to Money (Hopefully)
Well, as you can see, I’ve changed my “blog clothes” again. Yes, by golly I’m test-driving yet another new theme on my never-ending quest for the elusive perfect backdrop that illustrates my unique point of view. (Is there such a thing? A perfect backdrop, I mean.) This theme is very similar to my old theme, […]
My Run at FirstRun.tv
A few weeks ago I got the most interesting email from the producers of a new Internet TV website called FirstRun.tv. Turns out they’re looking for mommy bloggers for a new show they plan to produce and wanted me to apply. Here’s what the email said in part: “We are seeking six tenacious, entertaining, humorous […]

Thank you so much, Phillipa, I really appreciate it, and look forward to following your blog. And […]
“Mercy Buckets” is French for Thank You
Hey gang, just a quick post to thank you all for two milestones that fell upon my blog this week. First off, yesterday my follower tally tipped the 500 mark! In fact, as I write this I think I have 507 followers. This rapid assent has wildly exceeded my expectations. When I started this blog […]
Have I Got What It Takes to Be a Top Mommy Blogger?
This’ll teach me to clean out my inbox more often. I just read an email dated last Thursday that I was approved to be listed on the Top Mommy Blogs website. True, it’s something I applied for, but that was over a week ago, and quite honestly, I can’t remember if I put on underwear […]
The Theme of the Day
Well, as you can tell, I’ve settled on a new blog theme…for now. I’ve been trying it out for a week, but to be perfectly honest there are things about this theme I’d still like to modify. However, it involves changing CSS style sheets and quite frankly I don’t have time to change my bed […]
