A personal blog is where you share personal stuff, right?

But there [...]

It seems like public opinion on Michael Phelps losing his Kellogg endorsement for being photographed taking a bong hit is heavily divided, as evidenced, for one example, on Twitter.

Talkin’ with Thom Filicia about the Room-A-Day Giveaway

The other day I was chatting online with my new BFF Thom Filicia, whom you probably know best from Bravo TV’s Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and most recently from The Style Network’s Dress My Nest.

Bloggers Give back

January 12th, 2009 · 5 Comments · Bloggers Give, Mom Generations, The Giveaway Connection, blogging, contests, products, social media

One thing about being a blogger - especially in the mommy sphere - is that you get lots of products sent your way. Some are for you, some are for your readers, which you offer them through contests (such as through The Giveaway Connection… a wonderful service, if I do say so myself).
