Supermom wants silence

I finally did it! I told my husband to get off his butt and start helping out around the house. (Well, I haven’t done that in about a month.) Of course, it did no good, but I was stressed out and I wanted to take it out on someone and better him than the kids. You know how some days being supermom is overrated? Well, today was one of those days. I long for some peace and quiet. I want to remember what silence sounds like. I actually want to hear… Continue

Social Media Virtual Assistants ?

I have recently taken on two new contracts for Internet Business Development. Part of my contracted services includes assistance with setting up a Social Media plan and corporate blog.

10 twitter things you need to do

1.) Be a person first. List your name on your profile, choose a user name that people will recognize as you, and use a photo.

2) Help others: People often tweet looking for help, directions, ideas, and feedback on their posts or ideas. My rule of thumb is help more often then you ask for help.Which brings me to the next item.

3) Ask for help: Be careful not to go overboard here or you will quickly loose followers. Need ideas for an article, quotes, product reviews,… Continue

Offending Moms Everywhere. The Motrin Ad

I begin this post like most.. admitting I really don't "get" motherhood. I'm a big fan of moms everywhere, especially my Twitter Mom friends, but I'm careful to remind myself. I'm not equipped to understand being a mom.

That said, I had no problem seeing how the Motrin ad was offensive. Does any mom talk like that? Does anyone say "wear a baby?"

And they used the word "thing" in a way that could be construed to refer to a child.… Continue
