Re: Mommy Life After Ph.D. : Five Reasons I Don't Use Expletives On My Blog

jwag57 — Fri, 14 Feb 2014 10:51:11 -0000

I also won't curse on my blog. My main reasons are your numbers 1 and 4 above. My kids are grown, but I still don't curse in front of them. It isn't the way they see me (I really don't curse much anyway) and I don't need to be seen that way in a public setting. And also, it isn't very professional, unless you want to be known for that.

I agree that it is so important to be yourself and not pretend to be someone you are not.

I have to look into Markerly. I think I heard of them but then forgot all about them. Thanks for the recommendation.

I would also recommend Little Big Planet 2 and Portal 2 and if you want some exercise, Sports Champions and Everyone Dance. A really fun family game that anyone will enjoy is Carnival Island. These last three games, you need to have the PlayStation Move to use.

Re: Are Celebs Relatable Mom Bloggers?

jwag57 — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 13:58:53 -0000

I never believe that celebrities actually use any of the brands that they say that they use in ads. Does anybody ever buy drugstore makeup or clothes from a big box store because a celebrity endorses them? If a celebrity wants to write a mom blog, and brands paying her, she should at least partner with high end brands that she uses, and market the blog to upper class moms. There might be many less readers, but there will be more relatability and honesty.

Re: Amazon: Sales Tax Hasn’t Stopped Me Yet

I also am a very big fan of Amazon and am also an Amazon Prime member. I live in NY and never had to pay sales tax until last month when NY cracked down on their sales tax law. I was annoyed that I'd have this added charge but it didn't stop me from buying on Amazon at all. I trust them more than any other online site.

Re: Dos & Don'ts of Motivating Dad - Advice for Moms

This is a great list. I am a mother and find it difficult to always adhere to. But sometimes when you ask you husband to do something and he forgets it becomes difficult for the 2nd, 3rd and sometimes 4th request to not sound like a nag. But I do agree that Dads should always be considered partners in parenting. That is why by blog, http://connectwithyourteens..., is written to parents, not just to moms.
