Geek Mom Mashup – A Blog We Luv
I found this blog while surfing around through Entrecard one day before we went grocery shopping. Yes I do random odd surfing things while I wait for the boys to put their shoes on and find all their junk that they are taking with them. Anyhow, up comes Geek Mom Mashup on my screen … my first thought was that her header graphics were way cute! You’ll recognize the Cutline theme in 3 column split, a popular SEO friendly Wordpress theme, but Geek Mom has added afun smiling happy family characiture to the header graphic and I like that.
I can’t teach you how to monetize your blog, but I can offer you some mostly intelligent conversation, moderately geeky tech talk, very funny mom stories, with the occasional rant thrown in for flavor. I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m not sure what drew me in first but I’ve found myself visiting again and again every day since that first time I came across the site. I think that Heather (aka Geek Mom) and I have a lot in common. We’re both authors over at Squidoo and she has some very interesting lenses over there. She’s even an Award Winning Monkey Brain at Squidoo. And we both like to craft things. Heather even has a shop called Small and Simple Gifts, which I found myself browsing around in looking at all the jewelry, blankets, and oragami mobiles she has made for sale. She has some very beautiful work.
Back to the blog… see how side tracked I get! One of her recent posts, New Nintendo “Software” for Mario Fans, showed off an adorable crocheted Super Mario that she found online! Totally cute. And while Heather knows a good gadget or geeky grown up toy when she sees one, she also knows all about the territory of motherhood, including the always amazing attraction of sick vomitting children and moms and the wonderment of new words that little boys make up all by themselves. Both are things which I can definitely relate to.
Why am I still talking? Why are you still reading? You’re supposed to be over at Geek Mom Mashup checking out all the fun geek amd mom stuff that Heather has written. As the blog says, Life is a mashup of toys and gadgets, hobbies and recipes, kids and odd socks, all held together with love and duct tape. I think you will enjoy it.
Nice review, Loretta! And yeah, I found GeekMomMashup via entrecard too, one of the benefits of joining up with entrecard I guess. The blog name and header graphic hooked me in at first too, and some of the geekier posts (like Mario) definitely keep me coming back for more.
That mario was so cute! :)
Hey, you! Thanks so much for the awesome review! I really appreciate the time and thought you put into it, and all of your kind words. You made my day! :-)
You’re welcome! I’ve been enjoying your blog very much :)
I’ve been reading Geek Mom Mashup since I began on EC a few weeks ago. :)
I discovered Heather through Entrecard as well and I always enjoy visiting!
