THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED AND COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED.
On Thursday October 23rd I attended an event in Chicago called “Girls Night Out” with Sparkplugging & Epson, in association with One2One Network. There were a bunch of area mom bloggers and women in marketing in attendance and it was a lot of fun!
There [...]

Peter Pan! I just woke up to the fact I have not updated this since they invented sliced bread… You would not believe that I’d been abducted by aliens. Apologies to my regular readers! Even the little blue ones!.
I am flat out like a lizard drinking with setting fire to people wearing Crocs, selling my [...]

I don’t mean has blogging caused you to spend more time in your jammies or have less time to clean your house, or keep you up at all hours, I’m talking about a change inside you, that effects the core of who you are - or thought you were.
Last night, I was talking with a [...]

I almost had a panic attack last night when I thought I hadn’t written a new post for Saturday. I have not missed a day of posting, since, well, probably April so the thought of missing one now just felt really strange. In the end, apparently I had one scheduled to post so [...]

Martha Stewart has a blog!
If you didn’t know, you can find it here: The Martha Blog.

Recently Martha dedicated one of her TV show episodes to bloggers. I have yet to watch, [...]

I thought this was cute and it was accurate for me. I definitely belong in the 40’s or 50’s. That’s when cleaning the toilet was a man’s job!

You Belong in 1952

You’re fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in!

What Year Do You Belong In?

As I posted “my” picture as Miss Congeniality, I was faced with the question of putting too much information about myself out there on my blog. Specifically, my last name. I had never been forthcoming about that information until I was selected as a judge for Playtex’s Smelly Tales contest. They wanted [...]

I openly admit to being easily amused. And easily distracted. Swing something shiny in front of my face and I…um. Yeah.
One of my favorite sources of amusement is getting packages in the mail, and writing this blog has opened up a whole plethora of cool deliveries! My children have a [...]

If you are a blogger or have even just been reading blogs for awhile, you’ve probably heard of Blogher. Blogher ‘08 was a recent gathering of women bloggers from across the country in San Francisco for conferences, networking and workshops. I’m relatively new to blogging and heard about Blogher right before it occurred [...]

There was some kind of problem with both of my sites this morning.
They would not load!
During a live chat with the host, I think we got it worked out, but they changed some things in the admin panel that caused some pages to not work correctly.
I have the worst headache EVER!
If you happen [...]

I’ve been neglecting the blog today.
I admit it.
But I have a good reason.
Some of you may have noticed the link across the top under the header that reads: Design Gallery.
Well, I’m quitting What’s That Smell? to do button design full time.
Ok, I’m kidding.
Sort of.
I’m not quitting What’s That Smell?, but I am starting a brand [...]

I have been doing my best to return the favor when a blogger comments on one of our posts. I don’t always find the time, but I try my best to visit their site and look around and leave a comment.
Every day I find I have less and less time to do this and [...]

Although I’m not convinced that our country is in a recession as much as it is simply in an election year and this seems to happen during those times, I can vouch for rising prices and budget struggles at home.
Kristen at Motherhood Uncensored (umm…yeah…seriously) has started a little “cause” for bloggers to help make these [...]

Mom marketing is quickly becoming one of the most popular types of product marketing around. I am pretty sure we have blogging to thank for the vast numbers of companies that are targeting moms in their advertising. This is partly because moms, as always, have generally influenced purchasing decisions for their whole family, [...]
