September 3, 2010 – 7:00 am | No Comment

Dear Mama Drama:
My two year old is potty training and has moved into wearing “big girl panties.” I am freaked out about taking her out of the house because I’m afraid she’ll have an accident and will become too discouraged. How can I take her out and help her to be successful?

I am often contacted by public relations firms touting their latest products. I thought I would pass this opportunity your way:

Matchstick, a word of mouth marketing agency, is working on behalf of Dodge to launch the all-new Dodge Grand Caravan. They are selecting 50 social and influential* moms in the Denver area to [...]
