Mom Blogger Kudos
Friday, January 2, 2009
I was reading Google's Trend report today and saw that a mom blogger was trending at number 98! This is truly impressive, especially when most of the hot, daily trend topics are about celebs and stories found on big media sites. Heather from Freebies 4 Mom was featured on Inside Edition in October and they re-aired her segment again yesterday.
It's wonderful when mom bloggers make big waves on the Net and beyond. Congratulations, Heather! Plus, another great thing for me is I found another coupon mom blog. Love those!

More Magazine Happiness: Hybrid Mom's Winter Issue
Wednesday, December 31, 2008
Sometimes I have to pinch myself because of all of the fabulous companies I work for and work with. One of those companies is Hybrid Mom where I work as their web director. It's amazing to me to see how far they have come from the time I started working for them in January of this year. Hybrid Mom is now in over 350 Barnes and Nobles stores across the country and their covers are gorgeous. And, if I am not mistaken, their winter issue has their first celebrity on the cover. Kelly Rutherford talks about the new Hollywood Hot Mom phenomenon. Plus, there is so much more inside that speaks to hybrid moms, those of us who do tons and tons of things, but don't compromise our goals and aspirations. Instead we find a way to do everything and redefine what work means to us.
If you haven't seen an issue of Hybrid Mom you can either subscribe or check out your local Barnes and Nobles location.

Magazine Happiness: Boho
Tuesday, December 30, 2008
It is a rare occasion indeed when a magazine leaps from the newsstand and begs me to buy it. With so many women's glossies to choose from -- all with trite celebrities gracing their covers -- I usually just thumb through the first few that catch my eye and call it a day; after all, I'm a Web girl -- who has time to read a print mag? Despite all this, one magazine really spoke to me, even though I still didn't purchase it that day.
Have you ever heard of Boho magazine? I hadn't either until I went Christmas shopping and saw it in Waldenbooks. I was instantly drawn to it by the type of paper they use -- very thick, recycled paper -- and the cover was absolutely gorgeous. I'm a sucker for great design. Needless to say, Boho really caught my eye. The editors and designers really did a phenomenal job.
Even with all of the praise I just unleashed on Boho, I still didn't buy it then and haven't ordered a subscription -- yet. When I go to the mall this week I'm going to pick up a copy and if it speaks to me I'll order a subscription. I'll let you know what I think when I pick up a copy.

Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion
Monday, December 29, 2008
I am really fickle about the lotion I use. I don't like lotion that is too watery and thin, or is scented with too much fragrance. I don't like lotion that flakes when you rub it on, or is too heavy and makes my skin feel like it's suffocating. Because I am so selective about the lotion I use, I decided to try Vaseline's Clinical Therapy Lotion.
I received two bottles of Vaseline's Clinical Therapy Lotion, one that is lightly scented and another that is not scented at all. I have to say, I cannot find a single flaw with this lotion. It goes on smooth with no sign of flaking. The scent is not overpowering in the least, and it doesn't make your skin feel as if it can't breath.
For anyone who has extremely dry skin, the Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion will do wonders. While I don't have dry skin myself, I can certainly see how therapeutic it can be for those who suffer with dry skin day in and day out.
Overall, I am very pleased with the lotion and once it runs out, I'll continue to buy it for me and my family.
Speaking of buying the lotion, you can visit www.prescribethenation.com and print out a $1 off coupon for the Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion.
