In the Motherhood - Coming March 26 on ABC
Friday, February 27, 2009
I have to admit, I'm a little excited about In the Motherhood, ABC's upcoming comedy about, you guessed it, motherhood. ABC and the show's producers are putting a different twist on the show by allowing real mothers to share their stories and their experiences may actually wind up woven into an episode. Pretty cool.
I've been watching some of the In the Motherhood clips for months, but now that I've noticed a huge ad push on the major mom blogs I've decided to take a look again. The show looks promising and I can't wait to watch it even though I don't have a TV. Wait. That might be a problem unless, of course, ABC runs the show online as well. One can hope.
Note: This post was written solely due to my interest in In the Motherhood. I wasn't pitched and definitely not paid for this mention. I'm simply interested to see how this show will turn out.

Why I'm Excited to Work With EA Sports and EA Sports Active
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
In early April I will be joining five other bloggers, Renee from Cutie Booty Cakes, Julie from Cool Mom Guide, Jessica from Jessica Knows and Monica from Mommy Brains Report and Donald from DadsCenter.org on a spa retreat weekend in Santa Barbara, CA where we'll learn all about EA's new fitness game, EA Sports Active created for the Nintendo Wii. We'll learn how EA Sports Active works and then we'll all embark on a 30-day challenge to reach our individual fitness goals and you won't miss a moment. We'll all be blogging, microblogging, and vlogging our progress. As you can imagine, it's very exciting.
I'm thrilled to be working with EA largely because I'm a gamer (bet you didn't know that. Check out Gamer Moms Club (www.gamermomsclub.com) if you love gaming, too). Plus, I get to test a product before it's even available for purchase (comes out May 19). I also get to meet bloggers in real life (that's always nice!) and finally meet the EA team who I've been twittering and emailing with these past few months. And finally, I get to work on my fitness goals in an innovative way and that's exciting because I thrive on creativity and innovation.
Check out what Bob Greene has to say about EA Sports Active. He collaborated with EA to make this an effective way to help people lose weight.
Oh, and another reason I'm excited to work with EA is because we'll all get to meet Bob Greene, too! Cool.

Blogher Backtalk: Check it Out
Monday, February 23, 2009
It's funny...I'm really not into vlogs. I thought I would try my hand at it for NewBaby.com, but haven't drummed up enough gumption to do it yet. Blogging is one thing, but vlogging is quite another. The only vlog I watch regularly is Wine Library TV and I think the reason is because Gary Vaynerchuk is just so over the top and entertaining that he sucked me in from the beginning.
But, I have to say I also enjoy Blogher's Backtalk. Blogher Backtalk is a web show that talks about moms and blogging and our sundry outlooks on life and how we blog about them. It's very well produced, the format is engaging, and they allow other vloggers to upload their content to "talk back" about various topics. I really enjoy Blogher Backtalk and appreciate that they let the vast and diverse community of mom bloggers become a part of it with them. Take a look.
Oh, speaking of Blogher, I will be speaking at their conference this year on Saturday, July 25 during their homeschooling panel: MommyBlogging: Blogging as a Homeschooling Tool. Hope to meet you at Blogher!
