What I Learned This Week Edition 4

This week (well, let’s say this MONTH) I’ve been learning that self-promotion isn’t for me.  I wrote a post on Saturday where I said that I’m overwhelmed by all the talk of online communities, branding, monetization, self-promotion, marketing, influence, blah blah blah…  Because with that comes this distinct pressure to have a strategy, to promote [...]

Moonlighting

I’m over at Chic Critique today talking about the Clarins HydraQuench skincare line.  I’d love to know your favorite products for combating winter dry skin. And there are two giveaways at Reviewsings this week: Family Four Pack of Tickets to Sesame Street Live in Philly Hugs and Kisses Necklace by Lisa Leonard Designs

Ask the Housewife

Yesterday my friend from forty b4 forty told me she thought it was about time for another round of Q&A.  Since my draft folder has dwindled down to almost nothing, and I have already filled you in on every waking minute of the past few days, I thought that sounded like a superb idea! So [...]

Rambling. There, take THAT, SEO!

I know, I’m such a rebel. Last night I spent a delightful evening in celebration of a friend’s birthday with her and a mix of her closest friends.  There were friends from her church, friends from her playgroup, friends from her college days, and friends she had met in unlikely places such as the doctor’s [...]

Good News/Bad News

The good news is, I figured out my Feedburner issue. The bad news is, I have subscribers that don’t know I’ve been posting like a blogging fool.  And I have to beg people to re-subscribe.  AGAIN. To both Musings AND Reviewsings.  ARGHURUMPH! Here’s a hint for you new bloggers out there.  Pick a blogging platform [...]

Meanwhile, I’m [...]

You may have noticed a little button on my sidebar that looks like this. That ad appeared after Enzie Shahmiri of Enzie Shahmiri Portraits and Fine Art contacted me about working out an exchange of services.  Enzie is a portrait artist.  She creates amazing works of art with oil paints and a blank canvas, and [...]

I’m Officially Moving to Florida

stemsling

Just as soon as I can convince my husband to put his resume out.  Our spring-like reprieve is over.  Finito.  Kaput.  Not only is it barely 30 degrees outside, but the winds are blasting us at 20 miles per hour.  I knew it was bad because I could hear it howling around the house, but [...]

Pillow Talk

Last night I was tucking my kids in bed, and I laid with my 3-year-old for some time.  I love listening to her articulate such mature thoughts in her little baby voice. She wanted me to tell her a story, but I detest storytelling so I offered to sing to her.  Fortunately for me, she [...]

I’m Fried

I’ve been going gangbusters all week, and tonight I’m just fried.  I went in to a client’s blog this afternoon to make a few simple changes, and somehow messed up her entire template.  Strangely, the snaffoo was only visible in certain versions of Internet Explorer.  (This is why designers HATE I.E.)  (And yes, we do [...]
