Got a few items of bloggy business to take care of today.<\/p>\n
First, thanks to all of you who chimed in to let me know the reasonable rates for a live-out nanny. Got a few interviews scheduled but most importantly, signed up for an account with CanadianNanny.ca. It’s lousy with nannies in the neighbourhood; hoping none of them are lousy. Sheesh, why didn’t I do this three months ago? Thank you thank you thank you!!<\/p>\n
Second, you might notice that I’ve added an ad to the sidebar over there. I wasn’t actively looking for advertisers when the owner of Evymama<\/a> — a Toronto maternity and breastfeeding boutique with a new online store — contacted me. I took a look at her site and her business, and it seemed like a great fit. I wouldn’t put up an ad for just anybody, but a Canadian owned and operated site for new mothers? I’m all over that. (And heck, the money does come in handy!) Welcome, Evymama, to the Postcards from the Mothership community! <\/p>\n Third, I’ve been stepping out on you again. A couple of months ago, I was asked to contribute a weekly column to a new online bloggy magazine about living with technology called TechLifePost<\/a>. My column, which appears every Thursday, is loosely focused on technologies and families. It’s called Digital, Baby!<\/a> It’s been driving me crazy to be writing in a commentless vacuum, so feel free to wander over there and chat up the place. It’s been fun writing in a new forum, but surprisingly stressful because I’m writing as part of a team and not just on my own whim and whimsey. I’m always scrambling for ideas, though, so I’d welcome your input.<\/p>\n Phew, I’ve been meaning to get around to posting some of this stuff for weeks. Feels good to finally get it out of my head!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Got a few items of bloggy business to take care of today.
