This morning, Forbes.com released their annual list of 100 Best Websites For Women. It includes everything from food blogs, to personal blogs, to corporate blogs, to message boards and community based sites. Reading through the list, as with most of these lists, I found that some choices were cutting edge, some obvious, some passé, but one choice was puzzling beyond… Read more →

Al’s #1 Italian Beef: Chicago, 3am
Amy and Katherine looking surprisingly natural after I yelled “DON’T LOOK AT ME! LOOK NATURAL!” I just got back from four days in Chicago at the 9th annual BlogHer Conference. If you’ve ever been on this sort of business trip, you probably know what I’m talking about when I say the days have blurred completely together (although that may have something to do… Read more →
Independence Day
If you’re a blogger, this post is for you. If you’re not, check out this incredibly freaky video of a woman dressed like a poodle dressed like a human doing aerobics with poodles dressed like humans. (Actually you should probably watch that either way.) So, bloggers. Recently I left the warm, supple bosom of my ad network for the foggy,… Read more →
Higher Altitude
{the lovely Design Mom welcoming attendees} I just started writing a soul searching blog post from the back of a conference room in Utah. Because that’s what happens when you pause to refill your creative cup. (Am I a cheese ball or what? I know, I’m sorry, but spending days talking to self-sustaining creative entrepreneurs kind of makes you feel… Read more →
What’s In A Click?
Genetics is a funny thing. I knew any child Scott and I produced would have blonde hair, but I never thought about whether or not that hair would be thick or thin or dark or light or curly or straight. Turns out, it’s pretty straight, pretty light, and pretty thin — the exact opposite kind of blond hair that I… Read more →
Another Week in Instagrams
I can’t help it. I love iPhonetography! {Wanna follow me on Instagram?} Read more →
Today’s Menu: Mush of Mind
Sometimes my brain just wants to take a vacation. Like, no matter how hard I try I can’t focus or organize, or read, or write until I let my poor little overworked head-guts take their leave of reality for a bit. Some of you might be thinking: Uh…Didn’t you just get back from New York? And you’re right. I totally… Read more →
Born To Be Wild
Learning to ride a motorcycle is an emotional undertaking. I don’t think that’s a chick thing, either. I think across the board if you can give yourself over to the experience then it’s going to give your confidence a kick in the rear. Especially the way the world is right now. All over-connected and socially mediated and all that jazz.… Read more →
E is for Effort.
A week from now, I’ll be in New York. Surrounded by people. Real LIVE! ADULT! people. {I capitalized live adult to show my excitement but now it just looks dirty. I swear, no one will be naked. At least, no one plans to be. I also never planned to pose for this picture.} {Uhhhh…NSFW? I don’t think I’ve ever had… Read more →
I’m a F*cking Fraud.
All day, every day, I’m pretty much waiting for someone to figure out how unqualified I am at life. Each small success terrifies me because I’m certain that this time, THIS TIME? The gig will be up and the person on the other end of each opportunity will finally figure out that I have no business writing/editing/momming/being a grown up/generally… Read more →
