I am on the Walmart.com Homepage

I got an amazing opportunity, my picture on Walmart.com! I’ve worked on several websites during my career. I can honestly say this is the only company I have worked for that showcases their customers and associates on their homepage.

If you haven’t ever uploaded a story to Walmart.com’s Connect & Share I suggest you give it a try – You never know, your picture could be on the homepage next!

I am the Newest Mommy Blogger Featured on Walmart.com!

For the remainder of my pregnancy I will be writing a weekly article that will appear on Walmart.com as well as continuing to update this site as well.

My first posting was just published and can be found here.

I’m very excited to share my experiences with the community, but more importantly, I could really use your thoughts and advice as my only experience to date comes from a half dozen baby books and some advice from friends. Not only am I a new mom, but it has been almost 20 years since I attempted to change a diaper and without your help I might possibly diaper the wrong end.

So please take a brief moment to visit the Baby Buzz Blog on Walmart.com and contribute to the community by leaving a comment, answering the poll, or one of the many questions myself as well as the other new and expectant moms have posted.

I can’t wait to hear your advice as well as answer any questions you may have as I prepare for this important journey. Thank you!

It has Been a Long Time.

I have to admit I never thought I would blog again. Don’t get me wrong I wanted to; matter of fact less than two years ago I even talked to Clay Newton about it. Hell, I even got so jazzed that I set up a Vox account and then… (fizzle). I never posted a single thing. At that time I convinced myself that I didn’t need to “blog” mostly because I remembered all the very good reasons I stopped blogging in the first place:

My family hated me: it not a good idea to talk trash about your family on your blog; especially if you are young, stupid and rude. Believe it or not you may hurt your mom’s feeling and seriously regret what you wrote later.
No one would date me: sure at first it might sound like a turn on to have your love life read like a soap opera but guys have sensitive egos and remember I was young, stupid and rude.
I am not a good writer: although I have always hoped to improve this weakness I haven’t; so go ahead grammar queens don’t hold back feel free to call out all the typos and improper usage in the nice “comment” section.
It just took too much freakin’ time: It did! Back in the day we didn’t have this fancy blog software. Hell it wasn’t even called a blog; we called it a website and we actually had to know HTML.

So less than two years ago; I decided I would feed my social bug via Twitter, Facebook and Flickr. This had suited me just fine until last Friday when the company I work for launched www.elevenmoms.com. As a result, I spent the entire weekend reading mommy/daddy blogs and suprised myself by finding a wealth of information I had been craving.

So here I go again – attempting to blog. Now that I am married (five years this month) and trying to start a family; I hope to no longer be stupid or rude (young is another story).
