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. After spending a night in a hotel near the airport Wednesday night the kids went down to breakfast and […]
Content Rules
The internet is a funny place. It moves at furious pace. New content is produced so frequently you could never run out of things to read even if you sat in front of your computer 24/7. It’s not like your high school or college English class where you had to cite your sources, and it […]
How to Save Money with Social Media
This past week I did a TV interview about social media and saving money. I shared ideas and tips I’ve learned as social media has evolved. But I realized I hadn’t share my tips with you-my reader about ways I use social media to save. Consider that rectified- here’s a list of ways you can […]
Conference Sponsorship:: Social Media Saturday
A friend recently sent me a question about conference sponsorship, and I thought it would make the perfect Social Media Saturday post since this is a question I’ve been asked many times. Q: How do you find sponsors for a conference? Do you have a conference sponsorship proposal? When I first started blogging, and had […]

Way back when I shared my reader survey (around the New Year) I got lots of great feedback from readers who responded. One thing a good percentage of respondents wanted more of is social media posts. Since I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea I decided to share social media posts on Saturdays. Social […]
Creating Digital Citizens with Safely
As a parent of four, and a social media consultant I’m concerned about my kids learning to be good digital citizens. Facebook wasn’t around when I was a teen, and for that I’m somewhat grateful, but as my kids get older they will become more active online. They will have Facebook accounts, twitter accounts and […]
Blogger Gifts List
My kids are all old enough to make their own lists, and have taken to adopting catalogs when they come in the mall and painstakingly writing down exactly what they want from each one. Editing, and changing happens frequently which I love. I still remember getting the Sears catalog as a child and circling-oh just […]
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 […]
