Blast From the Past!

Just under 10 years ago,  I began jotting down all my ideas and tips for new mothers with my dear friend.  I was in the thick of baby rearing at the time. This was all before Babycenter and the glossy mommy sites and blogs we have today.  I was hard pressed to find any support on the Internet! NO JOKE.  Moms relied on playgroups found via the playground or local library in their own town.  Now, I chat with moms living in China on Twitter.  Thank goodness for Twitter...that's all I gotta say!

So we have the brilliant crazy idea to self-publish a book.  Again, in ancient times 10 years ago, before all the self-publishing companies sprang forth!  Our wee book was reviewed by the lovely ladies at Cool Mom Picks.  At the time, they were a small product review site.  I thought those gorgeous ladies at the helm were ROCKSTARS!  I still do....have you seen pictures of them? HAWT! LOL!

 I'm still tickled pink that they actually reviewed the book and liked it! I did a little advertising with them when I could buy a little square on the sidebar for a month for about $75.  Amazing how times change.  The success of CMP inspires me.  I'm still so fortunate to have been a little piece of the start of something BIG. No, HUGE.  AND they are still so accessible.  They are the best online businesswomen I know!

Here is the review for nostalgic reasons...I'm in that kind of mood as I segway stumble into the next book version about TWEENS! The dilemmas, the nerves, the absolute terror of the new season is here for me, AND I'M TAKING NOTES...it's like being a mother again for the first time! Geesh!
