When the Moon Hits Your Eye …
By Laura Thomas, ABC | June 19th, 2008
As the solstice moon rises, I’m counting down the days until our big vacation. Now that it’s getting closer I’m starting to think of all the things that still need to be done to prepare. Stop the newspaper, make arrangements for the dog, ask neighbors to keep an eye on the house - that sort […]

By Laura Thomas, ABC | June 17th, 2008
Just a quick cross-post to note that I’ve got a new post over on ThisMommyGig.com.
It was sparked by a look at the list of “leaders” in social media being interviewed for a webinar and my noticing the considerable lack of women. Since it’s been noted that women produce and consume things like blogs at a […]

I’ve Got a New Gig
By Laura Thomas, ABC | June 3rd, 2008
No, I haven’t left Dell or moved to a new job there; but, I have expanded my blogging platforms. Now, in addition to posting here, and on Direct2Dell.com, I’ll be contributing to This Mommy Gig!
I’d not set out to become a “mommy blogger“. Heaven knows there are already enough of those out there. And, I intended […]
