While the kids are making their lists I started to think about what was on my list. While I don’t really need anything, I have some wants, and I realized there may be some other readers out there who are shopping for someone who works from home or is a freelancer this holiday season.

Post-Conference Action List
If you have ever attended a social media or blogging conference you know it’s non-stop info, networking, and talking. You may come home exhausted (or sick), and have a mountain of laundry, and be thrown right back into real life. It can be tough to take action on the great ideas and plans you hatched, […]
Disney Social Media Moms: Day One
Yesterday was a truly magical day. I’ll share more about how we surprised the kids soon, but they were BEYOND thrilled that we were in the car before they knew that we were heading to DisneyWorld.

Last week we talked Pitches and Proposals, and this week I’m sharing my secrets for staying connected.

How to Spot a Social Media Geek
I was struggling last night with all the things I either need to, or want to do. Or maybe it was the things I want to do, but also need to do? Anyway… Instead of doing anything productive I was on twitter. I meet a lot of people who either tool their eyes or stare […]
