Jill Leech: Mompreneur, Potty Queen

It seems every parent has an idea for a great product that would make life with young kids a little easier. But Jill Leech took her ideas and turned them into a business. Potty Tots is a potty training program that Jill developed for her third child. So how do you go from good idea to Mompreneur? Here’s the poop, I mean scoop… How long does... [Read more of this review]

ChefTony of Visions Restaurant: on sharp knives, social media, and my gazpacho

Chef Tony (@ChefTony on Twitter) of Visions Restaurant in Bethesda, Maryland is a social media guru… with a very sharp knife. We had a few moments to chat before last night’s DC Tweep Up and one of the employees was nice enough to hold my Flip camera…for 10 minutes straight. I don’t know his name but hats off to the camera work... [Read more of this review]

Balance is a Journey – You Never Reach the Top

We had the privilege at BlogHer to talk with Stacey Weckstein, author or Create a Balance and Life Coach. Her thoughts on creating a balance in your life, and how she is reaching out to young moms are inspirational…so much so she sent Janine a little OFF BALANCE…you’ll see in the video… How did she come up with her vision?... [Read more of this review]

@JoeSchmitt: On stealing material from his wife and not wearing a hat

Recently I had the opportunity to interview “Mr. Twitter Funny Guy”, Joe Schmitt. And, I owe him an apology. Sorry Joe. Sorry for calling your ‘Mr. Funny Guy’ one too many times (in terms of interviewers I have lots to learn…or do I?). Sorry for not taking your advice and heading into a quiet corner. That said, Joe was... [Read more of this review]

Here are your top 12! You know judges…they can’t just decide on 10, so we came to common ground on this dozen HAWT legs. Sometimes it was the pose, sometimes it was the SHOES, sometimes the well defined *please let that be me one day* calves, and sometimes it was *ahem* the tube socks. But these were the 12 that the judges (Ok, Me, Janine,... [Read more of this review]

Laila Ali: newborn baby versus DWTS and sucking it in

I had the opportunity to interview Laila Ali at an event that focused on fighting childhood obesity. As usual I go off-topic and get to the Mom of the Matter. This interview was originally posted here but every time I watch it I feel a little bit better about myself. Why? Because Laila Ali admits she sucks in her tummy too! I hope her publicist doesn’t... [Read more of this review]

Leslie Mills: on Yanni’s mustache, Twitter, and living the tour bus life

What’s a girl to do with that tiny bathroom on the tour bus? Is Yanni really that easy going? And what does a performer really think of bloggers and Twitter? Recently I got behind the scenes of the Yanni Voices tour and got the real story from sultry vocalist Leslie Mills (@Leslie_Mills for you Twitter folk). [Read more of this review]  Read More →
