Geekery for the Modern Mom
My 4 year old comes running into our study earlier this week to inform me of something VERY important. He wants a PRINTER for Christmas – so he can PRINT. My sweet innocent digital native child, wants a printer. Something just seems weird about this. Maybe it’s just me.
26 weeks. That is 6 and a half months of pregnancy people! And DESPITE what you may hear about this 9 month thing – in actuality it’s 10 months. Sure the first month you don’t really know you’re knocked up, but your body sure does. 40 weeks of pregnancy – subtract the 26 i’ve put [...]
Talk about crap. My health has continued to go down the tube. I went to my general doc today and lone behold, I have the glorious BRONCHITIS. Cough, congestion, icky feelings, foggy haze and down right CRABBY. The doctor was just full of cheery news. He informed me that I should see my peak in [...]
Worse 3 days in I can’t tell you when. It started Friday. I had left work at 4 on Thursday and went to the doctor – apparently have an upper respiratory infection. Went home – felt like crap but readied myself for the Oklahoma project and event. Friday rolls around and I realize that I don’t remember [...]
High school for me was a joke. The classes bored me. The school felt like a constant state of disorder. I hated just about every minute of it. The one thing that I looked forward to was Yearbook & Journalism – all because of the greatest teacher ever – Mrs. H. We had block schedules so I had 8 classes a semester.

About 6 months or so ago, my husband started taking the kids out on Thursday nights giving me a night to “have off”. If you are a mom – you KNOW nights off are rare. Every other Thursday I spend picking up the house before the cleaner comes, but its the most relaxing time of [...]
Gag. Heidi Klum is beautiful without make-up. And she just had a baby. And this is not how I will look after having my third child in 3 months. You’ve been warned.
When I was working at home consulting – something that I took for granted was co-workers I’m not a natural extrovert, so when I should of found connections outside – I just didn’t. Returning to the workplace I realized one of the major things that makes the day go by are those you work with. Yes, I would rather spend most of my days in my office with the door closed, space heater on high and Cold Play blaring in my ears. But inevitably – human connection is needed.
SXSW Interactive is hard to top. Last year was my 3rd go round, and it was incredible. The people, the atmosphere, the speakers – all around great experience. This year – my fave speakers had to be Gary Vaynerchuck. I was familar with Wine Library TV, but not aware of the awesomeness of this dude. [...]
