Okay – it’s time I come out of the closet -
I love everyone’s blog – I’ve been stealing all of your wonderous ideas – I tell everyone of this fine place you’ve established on the web – I haven’t come out of the closet b/c of the following reasons:
1- i’m the sole bread winner in my household with a darling hubby and two littles -
2- i make over 100k annually in my career
3- my hubby lost his job last year and i give this site credit for saving me money/time/energy in pulling together meal plans,coupons,and happiness for my way of life now – I love that old-fashioned appeal ya’ll bring – i’m a domesticated female at heart, although my life is in high-heels most of the day.
4- i’m a christian woman and i love everyone’s blog – b/c when i’m having a bad day from a bill rolling in – i hack on the blogs and i grin from the simplicity of seeing a mom on another coast shout out about how she’s made her husband’s secretaries gifts for only 5 bucks with homeade treats because she’s clipped coupons for the ingredients all night -
i’m a working college-educated mama and loving wife and i want to know if there are more closeted sisters out there who are like me and haven’t come out yet -
I have some ideas of my own of how I keep it together in a challenging corporate environment, while meeting demands of home and my small biz while voluteering at the kids’ christian private school –
Can someone holler at me please? Love ya’ll and keep up the great blogs – my sweet life depends on your blessed words… working mama in the NW
god bless!

Something else to consider on publicity: Find out if your local newspaper has a blog site and what linkage possibilities exist for your blog.
For example, the newspaper where I work hosts “sponsored” blogs, which are a mix of employee and community blogs. See http://www.blogsmonroe.com
Other newspapers sponsor only in-house bloggers on their sites. But the newspaper or its individual bloggers sometimes include links to off-site local bloggers in their blogrolls.
