I returned home yesterday after a five day trip to a social media conference in Utah. It will take me the next six months to implement just a portion of what I learned at Evo ’12. I guess it’s fair to warn you that you will start seeing some changes around here. I hope you like them because it would be a real drag if I spent the time and money to make changes, and you hated them. The end result, I hope, is a site that better serves my readers.
For now, I want to enumerate why I’m glad to be home:

I am an old work traveler. In my previous life as a corporate worker bee, I traveled frequently, as in almost every week from week six to week 34 of my first pregnancy. I learned how to scrupulously plan my business travel since I was often going multiple places in one trip. I didn’t always fly from Point A to Point B and back to Point A.

I’ll say up-front, I don’t advocate working and homeschooling. It’s not easy on a number of levels. For some, it’s the only option. For others, it’s what God has called them to, at least for a season. My [ ... ]

I read an article a few weeks ago where the author talked about how he had stumbled across an effective way to teach money skills to his teenage son. I say stumbled across because some of the best techniques most parents use are the ones they back into blindly, not the ones they carefully plan and execute. Those usually backfire. Anyway, back to the effective money management plan. This guy set up a bank account with a set amount of money and gave his son a debit card to take to summer camp with him. He figured he’d avoid the [ ... ]

Last year I went through a transition, of sorts. I had been contemplating starting an Internet business but was unsure of what or how to get started. Even as a technical professional with an MBA in “real life”, the whole Internet business thing was pretty fuzzy to me. I knew the technicalities of how to get a domain, setup a website, etc., but exactly how you made money at it wasn’t something I could put into practice.
So, I thought about finding a class or someone who had done it to help walk me through the process. Out of nowhere, I [ ... ]

I, Georganne, am the writer of MomToManyGirls, and should you meet me in an elevator and ask me who I am and what my blog is about, I’d have to tell you this. I am a wife to one great guy. A mom to five beautiful daughters. A regular person who has thoughts, experiences, and opinions on life in general, with large families in particular, and about why things are the way they are. My main topics cover parenting, homeschooling, and wrangling kids, with a little Christian encouragement, travel, and just about anything else that suits my fancy thrown in. [ ... ]
