A few weeks ago I won a copy of The Internet Mommy, through a WIW on momslikeme.com, by Kimberley Clayton Blaine, while waiting to hear back on a job, I REALLY wanted. I took it as a sign that I had indeed received the job (which I did), and immediately started work on ideas.
A few days after I got the book I found out that I had indeed gotten the position. A position that would place me in the midst of "Mommydom." I am now officially the Marketing Coordinator for A Mother's Haven (http://www.shopthehaven.com/). After looking for a position fruitlessly for the last 15, I fell into the lap of the perfect job for me. I am now going to be working from home, part time. Yippie!!!
The Internet Mommy, got me so excited about my new position. I had no clue how unintimidating the online mommy world really is. The book opened me up to a wonderful land of connected women, all looking to make the world a better place, and their life a little less stressful. It presents stories of hardworking women, that never have to change out of their PJs, unless they want to. I would recommend this book to any mother that is really wanting a little inspiration, that is ready to get connected with other moms, and just can't find the time to fix their hair. The stories a cute and funny, you are bound to see yourself in the shoes of several of these ladies. I really found my self identifying with the creator of http://www.beyondthebusstop.com/ . All too often we feel that our house is the only one littler with leggos, and firetrucks, or that we are the only mom on the block that feels lucky to shower by 3pm . (OK, maybe it is just me.) Either way, check it out at http://www.thegotomom.com/the_internet_mommy.htm
I am now able to utilize my outgoing personality and computer savvy, all at once. I will keep you up to date on the store for sure.
Training for my run begins when the rain ends, and I get my good sneakers sent back to me from mom, umm, hint hint! (I love you mom) If you would like to sponsor Aaron and I, all of the proceeds go to Kids4Kids, to help the fight against juvinile cancer.
