Once upon a time I only wrote here. That was okay, but it rather interfered with my plans for world domination.

Now I write here and there and everywhere. And I will write stuff in a box, and I will write stuff with a fox, I will write stuff in a coat, and I will write stuff with a goat. But I still think green eggs should be avoided.

Not all of my writing is blogging, of course. But do you really want to read my scintillating take on why this particular shoe liner is going to revolutionize the athletic shoe industry? Yeah, I didn’t think so.

Want Not is my “bargain baby,” a blog all about living frugally without deprivation. I got sick of the sorts of places that insist you can save money by never having anything you want and/or clipping coupons and making your own toothpaste out of mouse droppings. Come on over and learn a bit about “having it all with less,” and maybe have a giggle while you’re there.
 
 
Want to know more about where I work? Why, I’m right here in my Cornered Office, of course. I’m delighted to join the fabulous women over at Work It, Mom! as one of their intrepid bloggers. Cornered Office will be all about the trials and travails of being a freelancer, being a mom, and being a freelancing mom. Thinking of heading out into the world of sole proprietorship? Already there? Come on over! Just remember: You can go home, but you can never leave.
 
 
I know, I know… I can’t believe it, either. Liz and Kristen totally lost a bet and had to hire me! But I’m the latest addition to the Cool Mom Picks team, ready to try my hand at pretending to be cool. (Not that they’re not cool. They are. But I’m not. Except I am. Or I’m going to try to be. Ummm… let’s pretend we never had this conversation, k? Thanks.) (Hey, I’m a mom and I pick things. 2 out of 3 isn’t bad.)

What?
 
 
I am the Toy Box Mommy over at the blog associated with Ty’s Toy Box. Ty’s carries hard-to-find licensed character products, and is single-handedly responsible for most of my son’s cartoon obsessions. Anyway. I write about cartoons and movies and toys and other cool kid-related stuff over there, mostly. What’s not to like?
 
 
Last—but certainly not least—I am pleased to be in excellent company amongst a group of amazing women, as a Contributing Editor for the BlogHer community. I contribute to the Mommy & Family section about once a week. Sometimes I write original thoughts over there, but most of the time I just jump up and down and point and say “Look what she said! Wow! Go read it!” That’s why they hired me; I’m smooth.
