Conferences: Where I’ll Be in 2011

I asked my SocialMedia Moms group why they go to SM/ Blogging conferences. Although they were not allowed to answer to anyone but themselves, I can imagine that the answers ranged from “Because I need some time away from mommy duty,” to “I want to learn how to build my business.” I have several reasons [...]

Etes-Vous Prêt ?

For those of you who do not speak French (that would include me,) the title of this post asked you “Are you ready?” For what? A trip to Paris, France, of course! I was offered a trip to Paris for my husband and myself and I’m taking a few thousand people with me. Not physically [...]
