About Me
The Gal Behind The Blog…..
I’m a happily married mom of two very active little boys. I have over ten years experience in Marketing and PR and for the past six years worked as a Marketing Manager for an international chemical company. I was also the co-founder of Otherhood – an event company that hosted special events for families in my community.
Life shifted a bit, as it always does, and now I am a stay-at-home mom of my two boys.
Do I love it? Of course but every day is a learning experience for me. They make me laugh, cry and sometimes want to pull my hair out but I am thankful that I get to be home with them and watch them grow each day.
When I took on this new role, it appeared to me that every mom around me had it together and I was the only one internally struggling.
Let’s face it, motherhood is tough but I decided to embrace it with all of my imperfections.
Blogging instantly became an outlet for me, a way to escape reality. Sharing stories, inspiring one another and just knowing other women can understand what you are going through has been a true blessing for me.
Staying Active in Social Media
In addition to my blog, I currently write for Today’s Mama and Babyssentials. I have teamed up with Babyssentials as their Social Media Director to help build and manage their new on-line community. You can often find me chatting with moms on Babyssential’s blog, Twitter and Facebook fan page.
Recently, I co-founded Girls Lunch Out – a place for women in social media to connect, learn and lunch… with a purpose.
I love supporting other bloggers and finding new material to read! Make sure to check out my Friday Favorites where I highlight my favorite posts each week from around the blogosphere. And you can participate too, find out how by clicking here.
If you want to get to know me better you can read my first post, Here I go. Day One or some of my favorite posts.

YOur blog is so interesting to read, it’s nice to hear what having boys is like .. !
Just stopping over from #ubp10. I can’t wait to get into your site more. It looks fun. Also heading over to Traveling moms to see you there. thanks for that link.
Oh my goodness a life without pink, I can’t imagine it. I have 2 girls and 2 boys and I thought boys were the gross ones lol! Pink around here would be best described as green thick putrid green. Don’t get me wrong, I love those girls but I wonder if they are boys sent here to play a dirty trick (literally lol). I love your blog and I am following you on Twitter as well!
What a great “about You” post. I am a SAHM of 2 as well. (one of each in my case though). Happy UBP!
My oldest daughter would have to agree with you in the sense that she wouldn’t be able to do life without pink. For the longest time is was light blue EVERYTHING and then all of a sudden when she was like 17 she switched to all pink! Wish I were more girly girl!
Stopping in from UBP ‘10 and Twitter.

Hi Tina,
I wanted to reach out and say hello. I’m Lauren’s cousin and we may have met once or twice in the past. You are an inspiration to me and now I am in the process of creating a blog on wordpress and have never been more excited. Lauren told me about your blog and I have been reading all of your advice and tips – thank you!
I will keep you posted when I am up and running as well. I may even try to go to one of the upcoming bloggy bootcamps.
You have put me on the right path as far as the blog I would like to create.
Thanks again. Speak to you soon.
Best,
Kristy

I raised two boys! Have three grandsons and one grandaughter. Those boys are fun to be with!!!
I once was a mom to 2 boys and longed for a girl and then we had 2 girls and wow are boys easier (at least it seems that way today!). I never thought I’d have a 1 1/2 yr old that said “no mommy, this shirt”.

What a great title! I’m also living “without pink”!
I’m not that girly, but sometimes I just want to go and sit in a salon and get a pedi, mani, and new do, just so I can feel like a girl. It doesn’t help that I no longer wear “work clothes” or get dressed to do anything that requires more than jeans and t. Thanks for stopping by this morning! I’m a new follower.

I am a new follower. I too am a mommy of all boys! Finding the girl in me has been a struggle at times but recently she’s busting out! I look forward to reading more of your blog.
I hope you come by and check out Mommy of Boys, http://mom2zqb.blogspot.com
I’m a mom of 2 little boys like you, but I still belong to the good, bad and ugly corporate world (I must be masochistic!). This is a really fun blog and I’ll have to stop by often! If you have a moment, stop by the personal blog I started recently at http://perfectingmotherhood.wordpress.com. It’s tough to be an imperfect mom like me!
Great blog Tina! I enjoyed reading about you and your boys. I’m a young stay-at-home wife after getting laid off 2 January’s ago. My blog is about my husband and I on our journey to create residual income with our home business and learn how to live and be healthier. Living in an area where everything is made full of fat, it’s quite a struggle. Feel free to stop by and check out our blog. I look forward to getting to know you better!
