I’ve been obsessed with online marketing and the web since 1993, when I went to my first internet marketing conference for Jiffy Lube.
I started a blog in 2005 because I wanted to figure out what the blogging was about. I started my career as a media buyer, so there is nothing I love more than figuring out a puzzle. I’m a card carrying geek, as you can tell.
Because my family has southern roots and I am a smart-aleck, I called my blog WhiteTrashMom. It’s a popular parenting blog and is listed as one of the web’s best mom blogs on Alltop.com. St. Martin’s Press published a book based on the blog, The White Trash Mom Handbook in 2008.
Blogging about motherhood has enriched my life in so many ways, I am really glad I jumped into the blogging world when I did.
Mom Bloggers in the News
Moms who blog have gotten a bad name in the media in 2009. It seems like every news story in the national media about women who blog about their families (aka mommy bloggers) paints an ugly picture.
My friends Susan Getgood, Kristen Chase, Julie Marsh and Liz Gumbinner want to move the discussion about mom bloggers to a more positive direction. They started something called Blog with Integrity.
