Amy — Wed, 16 May 2012 05:33:19 +0000

So far so good. Waiting for some kind of crash, but so far, nothing! It can’t really be this easy, can it? I mean, if it were, everybody would be doing it! Originally posted on Selfish Mom.

SheStreams 2012 through the lens of a Samsung Focus S

Amy — Mon, 14 May 2012 21:18:36 +0000

I was thrilled to attend the SheStreams conference in Fort Lauderdale at the end of March (as well as do my first solo session, about podcasting), and it was delicious icing on the cake when AT&T teamed up with SheStreams to give me a Samsung Focus S to record my experiences at the conference. But [...]

Day 2 of my crazy sleep experiment

Amy — Sun, 13 May 2012 19:50:56 +0000

Day two of my Everyman Sleep Schedule was totally messed up by something completely out of my control, so I think I might be back at square one. :-( And yes, I’m still wearing yesterday’s clothes. It was a rough night. Originally posted on Selfish Mom. All opinions expressed on this website come straight from [...]

So I’m sitting in my bathroom writing this post. No, I’m not doing that, I’m waiting for my hair dye to penetrate my gray hairs and dark roots. What would make me dye my hair on a Tuesday when I have so many other things I should be doing? The RBaby Foundation. I first heard [...]

Fiona wanted hearts on her cupcakes…

Amy — Mon, 07 May 2012 14:37:22 +0000

I might have gone overboard. But I think she’ll like them, and so will her classmates. This is so easy to do, by the way. I piped melted dipping chocolate onto waxed paper, let it dry for about twenty minutes, then carefully peeled the hearts off and stuck them into the frosting. I’ve even piped [...]

This giveaway has closed. Congratulations to the winner, Eve L.! I can’t tell you how often I get pitches from PR people for things they claim will make my life easier. Usually it’s something that would make no discernable difference at all in the level of ease in my life. But when the folks behind [...]
