I’m Published!

It seems I’m wasting my 15 minutes of fame on sound bites for Parents and Parenting magazines. In the fall a quote of mine was used in an article about soothing a fussy baby. And now?

*Ahem* Could you all pull out your February 2006 Parenting magazines (mine came in the mail yesterday) and turn to page 37?


OK, it’s nothing all that exciting. Several months ago, they asked for people to e-mail them with the products they couldn’t live without. I sent in a long list of items, but it seems this one stood out to them. It was a good product for us. The Baby’s Bliss gripe water did help soothe Cordy’s tummy, which in turn led to less crying jags. I wouldn’t call it my #1 must-have, but it was a life-saver at times.

The quote isn’t exactly mine – it’s a mish-mash of things I said in the e-mail, in follow up e-mails when asked for more information, and in the phone call I received to verify that I was, in fact, a real person. But hey, close enough.

I’m not totally thrilled with the pic either, but they needed me to send them a headshot quickly, and that was all I had at the time. I would have preferred something a little more stylish, instead of the “just woke up and barely brushed my hair” look.

So a few more minutes of fame is gone for me, but at least I got a picture this time! Maybe next time I’ll get an entire article?
