My online life is just way too complicated, people. I don't know what made me think I could handle three blogs, three Facebook accounts, four Twitter streams, three email addresses. At first I thought I was "organizing" the information, but man, is it hard to keep with all of them! The thing about social media for me is that it feels so...important. Meaning, I feel like if I delete a Twitter account, the 37 people who added me to a Twitter list will see that my account is gone and, I don't know, dislike me? Obviously I understand the overall importance of social media, but I also am thinking that over-saturation is much less effective. Is it really necessary, for example, to have four Twitter accounts? I started with one, @Table4Five, then decided MomReviews needed it's own Twitter stream for tweets and retweets about reviews and giveaways. And then I decided that MomCooks needed IT'S own Twitter stream for tweets about the reviews and giveaways I was doing there. Ask … [Read more...]
Kraft Foods Gift Basket Giveaway
this giveaway is closed. Kraft Foods, makers of products like Oreos, Ritz crackers, Stove Top stuffing, and Maxwell House coffee, have re-launched their Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube pages to make it even easier for busy cooks to find great recipes and cooking tips.

The HUGE gift basket is packed with food and kitchen items including new varieties of Ritz crackers, … [Read more...]
Dona Nobis Pacem-2009 Blog Blast For Peace
It started in October 2006 when Mimi from Mimi Writes had an idea based on her memories of 9/11. What if on one day, the entire blogosphere posted the same thing, a call for peace? She posted a few backgrounds of our Earth against a blue background and said, see if you can't make something from this. Something that will remind your readers that it is possible for there to be Peace on Earth. To say she was on to something would be a vast understatement. Her idea spread like, well, wildfire. It spread across the blogosphere into nearly every one of the United States as well as 38 countries. It seems that even if for only one day, what bloggers would really like to think about is the idea of world peace. And that includes me. At the end of this post you see the Peace Globe I made last year, using Photobucket. If you would like to make one too, here's how to start: Visit Mimi's blog and grab one of the four blank templates. After saving it to your computer, use Paint or Photoshop or … [Read more...]
