Profile Information

What is your blog name?: Four Hens and a Rooster

What is your blog URL?: http://www.fourhensandarooster.com

Do you have another web site? What's the name?: Ten To Twenty Parenting

Twitter URL: http://www.twitter.com/4hensandrooster

What is your site's URL?: http://www.tentotwentyparenting.com

Share a little something about yourself with other moms.: I'm the mom to 3, wife to 1. Raising 3 vivacious teen and tween daughters and trying to teach them to channel all that energy into positive fuel for the universe! During the day (and into the night sometimes) I run a social media marketing agency while juggling sitting on a couple of boards and playing chauffeur to the girls after school.

What is your blogging philosophy?: I started blogging in 2003 and love to blog and try to do it as often as possible. However, with a family and my own business, it's not as frequent as I'd like. I made a news years resolution in 2012 that I would focus more attention on my site(s) and am pleased to say - it's one of the only resolutions that I have ever kept!

I have been blogging since...: 2003

10 Things You Don’t Say to the Parents of Daughters

Posted on April 3, 2013 at 1:45pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

When you’re a parent, you get lots of advice. And if you know me, you know that I hate unsolicited advice. I hated it when I was single and people told me how to find a husband. I hated it when I was pregnant and people told me how I should take care of myself. I hated it when my kids were small and people told me how to discipline them. Unless I walk up to…

What do bloggers, bullies and organic food have to do with each other?

I thought you’d never ask.

I was living under a rock this weekend because I missed the apparent firework explosion on Twitter aimed at KFC and their Blogger outreach. It came up on my radar today…
