This week’s column is kind of a love letter to polar bears.
Since this week’s Mountain Xpress is the Green Living issue, I’m tackling the subject of living sustainably. And explaining why both polar bears and you are awesome.
I often dish about saving the earth. But really, I’m talking about saving us — homo sapiens sapiens. And saving the polar bears — because they’re awesome.
Yes, I know I kind of suck at blogging these days because mostly all I do is link to my column. Because I’m lazy like that.
My young whipper-snapper smart blog consultant guy set me up with tweetmeme and something called sexy bookmarks, which because I love to read, totally turns me on.
But I may have too many sexy bookmarks at the bottom of my post, particularly since I don’t even know what most of them mean. Do you know? Do you care? And which sexy bookmarks are you likely to use? Thanks and good night.
So is blogging still relevant? Or do you now spend more time on FaceBook/Twitter than you do reading blogs?
I’ve been spending more and more time with social media lately, and clearly, other than my paid columns, my blogging’s suffered.
I’m speaking at a Type A Mom conference in a few weeks, and I’ve been thinking a lot about blogging vs. social media, and whether or not bloggers are still as influential as they once were? At this point, I have more followers on Twitter than unique daily visitors on this bloggie. What do y’all think?
If you’re feeling like being crafty with your kids, check out my column at Mountain Xpress this week for Valentine card and decoration ideas. Thanks to Jean who graciously shared all her rocking ideas with us!
I ordered four boxes!
From her dad:
Wild (the kid’s name) has decided that she wants to sell 12,000 Girl Scout Cookies so that she can take her whole troop to summer camp. Will you help her? Pre-order your box of cookies: Caramel Delights, Peanut Butter Patties, Shortbread, Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Sandwich, Thanks-A-Lot, Lemonades, and Daisy-Go-Rounds. We need your name, contact info, which boxes, how many, and you have to live in WNC so that we can actually deliver to you. Send pre-order info to info@freebornasheville.com
Love this!
I’m becoming obsessed with YouTube. Like everything else, I’m eight to 12 months behind the rest of the world.
Here it is–the answer to that burning question in this week’s column for Mountain Xpress.
My boy loves Feist’s original take on this song. He was overjoyed to see the Sesame Street version. I think it’s going to be Muppett week here on the bloggie!
In which I read a story from my column about the nine months preggers me of 10 years ago:
I put together a Flickr slideshow of my top photos of 2008. Note that I’ve been lazy about uploading to Flickr, and I have about 5,000 photos from the year clogging up my computer. One day I’ll organize them all (and throw most of them out). Here’s some of my favorite shots from this year. Enjoy!
