May 19, 2011

Do you miss the good old days? Right before BlogHer ’10 last August, I finally exchanged my oldtimer flip phone for one with a camera and Internet access. I wanted to be able to tweet from BlogHer, and I figure it could also help me manage the stream of e-mails I receive during the day [...]

New York Times: About Monetizing Motherhood and Blogging

November 6, 2010

The New York Times magazine ran an article about mommy bloggers two weeks ago: Monetizing Motherhood.

Blogging Mom Shellie Loses Little Son to Drowning
