being the best of 2011. x8.

01/03/2012

I know we are all trying to put 2011 behind us, but one more thing before we jump head first into 2012… Then, I promise, I’ll shut up about it all.

I’m proud to say that some of my articles and contributions have made Best of 2011 lists this year. It was just about this time last year that I booked my first freelance job with Red Tricycle and I began contributing as the Seattle Scout for Stroller Traffic soon after. I hold both places near and dear to my heart, so these are happy moments for me.

being some of my recent Red Tricycle Seattle faves.

11/17/2011

 

More on my TV debut on New Day Northwest soon — I’m coming down from quite the cupcake high, thanks to PinkaBella, and am honestly, exhausted.

I just wanted to say a quick hello to Red Tricycle readers and King5 viewers who are new to Being5 and share with you some of my latest articles on Red Tricycle Seattle, who I’m honored to write for.

If you haven’t already, sign up for Red Tricycle’s email newsletters that put all the new articles straight in your inbox during the week, so that you don’t miss anything good happening for families in Seattle.

being self-pimping. the monday morning edition.

05/16/2011

I’ve been meaning to post my latest articles for a couple of weeks now, but I keep finding more exciting things to write about. Like nailpolish. (ps. i’m currently wearing Gloria on my toenails and loving it!)

So, sorry in advance for the complete dump of articles for you to read (because you will read them all, right? and share them on Facebook and Twitter and on the bulletin board at your kid’s school and maybe even print them out and post them on the inside of your car windows so that people you park next to in traffic can read them as well? right?).

But seriously. Leaving comments, rating the articles with five pretty yellow stars and sharing them on Facebook does help me a lot (it’s a bit like my report card back to my editors), so if an article speaks to you, I would certainly appreciate the love. (thank you.)

Let the self-pimping begin!

being my 1st red tricycle article.

01/19/2011

I’m thrilled to share with all of you my first article on Red Tricycle, Best Seattle Playgrounds for Rainy Days.

If you live in Seattle, San Diego, Portland, Los Angeles or San Francisco, or anywhere near these cities, I encourage you to sign up for the Red Tricycle newsletters. They are a great source of information for parents in these cities and beyond — they’re newsletters are concise, informative and relevant — no unnecessary fluff or hit-you-in-the-face advertising.

More where that came from — stay tuned!

psst. i’m announcing an amazing new giveaway on friday. but in the meantime, i suggest you enter my on-going giveaway HERE.
