Guest Post: Suburbs to City

In my almost-30 years of existence, I have only lived in three areas: Daegu, South Korea; the New York metropolitan area, and Baltimore. Although I love to travel, the thought of moving to a brand-new city terrifies me. So when Michelle offered to do a guest post on her big move from a suburban town to San Francisco, I knew it would be a fun and illuminating read. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! First of all, thanks so much to Jenny for letting me guest post for her while she is getting some rest and enjoying the amazing new addition to the family. I'm lucky to know Jenny through blogging for Weddingbee. Geek in...

Guest Post: Freezer Meals

Today's guest post comes from one of my favorite food bloggers, Amy. While J and I have been very fortunate in that our mothers have been cooking up a storm for us since the arrival of the baby, we would most likely have gone the freezer route if the grandmothers weren't so readily available (or willing!). Enjoy! Hi, I'm Amy, and I write for my food blog called The Nifty Foodie. I love cooking and baking, but I also understand that most of us just do not enjoy slaving over a stove for a meal every single night, and for that reason, I wanted to tell you about one of the neatest assets available to you in your kitchen: the freezer. You might...

Guest Post: Branding Your Blog

With some social media experience under my belt (in addition to freelancing work that has led me to some top social media mavens), the topic of blogging and branding your blog has always held a special interest in my heart. In this guest post, reader Kate talks about the importance of branding your blog and chronicles her journey in re-branding. Enjoy! What do you do when your blog isn’t such a good fit for you anymore? I have been wondering about this for a while now. There were many times I would post something and think, "Wow, my blog really has nothing to do with what it's called." Usually I would shrug it off and tell myself it didn't really matter. After all,...

Guest Post: Baby Budgeting — Milk (And Another Giveaway!)

Here is Donna's third and final post of her fantastic series on baby budgeting: milk. Considering how much trouble I am having breastfeeding, I won't be lying if I were to say that I get very tempted to switch on over to formula. However, I will persevere for the time being and if I do end up going the formula route in the future, this is another post I will have bookmarked. Donna has also graciously offered to give away a $5 Amazon e-certificate. Just leave a comment to this post by Friday, 11/5/2010 and a winner will be chosen by a random number generator. Be sure to include your email address so that we can contact you if you win. Good luck,...

Guest Post: Top 20 Most Awesome/Least Awesome TV Characters

This post comes courtesy of my dear internet buddy, Girl on the Park. It is one that hits home for TV junkies like myself, and I spent quite some time reading and re-reading it, nodding in agreement while chuckling and marveling over the remarkable writing style dripping in sarcasm. It also brought me down memory lane, as some of the shows mentioned are ones I've held dear to my heart for over a decade. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Something you should know about me — I'm kind of a pop culture fiend. I love movies and books and I also really love TV. I own a ridiculous number of shows on DVD and am always eager to...
