What I Learned at BlogHer.

August 10, 2011

I decided to attend my third BlogHer at the last minute to go to one event: The Voices of the Year Reception.  Even though I wasn’t chosen as a speaker (thank goodness because my nerves couldn’t have handled it), being an Honoree was so exciting, and I had promised myself last year that if I [...]

My Blogging Tips From See Jane Write

July 31, 2011

I usually don’t feel competent or comfortable giving blogging advice – my blog doesn’t hang out in the “how-to” category much (unless we’re talking about something insane like how to make a Breastmilk Smoothie or a Presidential Christmas Gift list).  Out of my 1,200+ posts, only one (before this one) has ever been on the [...]

Invitations and Announcements

July 19, 2011

As most of you have heard (or rather, read) me talk about over and over and over again until your ears (or rather, eyes) fell asleep from boredom, one of my main motivators in blogging is relationships.  There is nothing that excites me more about blogging than to get emails and comments, or better yet, [...]

A Look Back: 6 Months Later.

June 19, 2011

Noah is six months old today. Half a year.. goes by so much more quickly the second time around. Despite my fears of having another baby, Noah has been a complete delight and pleasure. He’s the happiest, most joyful, smiliest baby I’ve ever encountered. His charm and constant laughter keep me falling in love with [...]

Let’s Play!

June 7, 2011

NEVER HAVE I EVER… … been summoned for jury duty – although I’ve always wanted to be. … fainted – although I’ve secretly thought it would be fun. … gotten, nor wanted, a tattoo. … lived alone – I went to college in town, got married when I was 19, and moved straight from my [...]

A (Late) National Delurking Day, and Ask Rachel…Most Things.

February 3, 2011

So I totally missed National Delurking Day this year.  Mainly because on that particular day (I believe it was officially January 14th this year), I had slept all of two hours the night before due to a stomach-virus-plagued four year old, a needing-to-be-fed-constantly three-week-old, and a still-recovering-from-unbelievable-trauma tooth. …Which would have made it the perfect [...]

A Few of My (New) Favorite Things.

January 30, 2011

Thanks to Christmas, new babyness, and other events lately, I’ve run into a few cool new things that are making my daily life easier and more fun. (And, for the record, I was not asked to promote any of these items, nor do the companies mentioned know that I’m writing about them,  They just rock [...]

On Having a Social Media Baby: A Review.

January 2, 2011

As I’m sure you noticed, I made a conscious effort to share my entire pregnancy and birthing experience on social media via blogging, Facebook, and Twitter – at times possibly sharing more than some people wanted to know. I know that some of you thought I was crazy to give social media any attention while [...]

Social Media Policy for Labor and Birth

November 16, 2010

When Ali was born nearly four years ago, I felt like a Social Media Pioneer (even though it would be a couple more years before the term “Social Media” was coined), because I was the first person I knew to nearly-real-time publish birthing information and baby photos on Facebook. And, really, it wasn’t a big [...]
