The Blur of Work and Home

With my maternity leave looming, I've become somewhat of a robot. Late nights at the office to complete my work and transition projects to colleagues are complemented with moving dressers, couches and random items at home.

I've found that my creative bursts are slim, I have words I want to write, but don't have the energy to spew out.

I've never been so tired in all my life. My mind constantly races and I have to-do notes upon to-do notes.

I've gotten used to the protruding tummy and often forget that there is a little person inside of the buldge, getting ready to say hello and flip my world on its head.

I know that when she arrives, these late nights, blurry blood-shot eyes and weakened keyboard wrists will be but a glimmer.

About

I am a Chicago based Emmy winning blogger and digital media veteran. My work on the web began in 1996 and feel incredibly lucky to have experienced every milestone of digital innovation. During my dot com breaks, I spent time in France, traveled on the Queen Mary 2, started a few of my own websites and was made fun of by Jay Leno. Today, I enjoy my time being the VP of Strategy for Edelman Digital. All ideas and opinions on this site are my own.

Full background here.

Coming from a family of small business owners, I am passionate about helping other local businesses with understanding how social media can move the revenue dial. At the same time, I'm addicted to problem solving and showing corporations how digital media is a key component to their overall marketing plans.

I'm also a new mom and am on the hunt for replacing the term 'Mommy Blogger' with something more pithy.
