Sometimes I forget that you all don’t live in my house, that you’re not here at the end of the day when I recap for Wade what exactly I have done with my time (uh, not the laundry, apparently).  And then one of you asks, “But, really what do you DO to make money? Who pays you?”

Oh, right!  That.

I’m the managing editor at ParentDish, which is AOL’s official parenting blog; I write reports and emails and the occasional incisive post about parenting (of course).  And I write a weekly style column that you should ALL be reading.

Kidding.  Sort of.

I also write for BlogHer, as a contributing editor for fashion and shopping, and I manage BlogHer’s BeautyHacks site (more emails, more reports, plus incisive posts about shoes).

On the side, I juggle various short-term projects, for clients like the Egg Council (resuming momentarily!) or Butterball.  And no, I don’t know why I keep getting food writing jobs, although I love food.  And jobs.

And of course, I write here, whenever the whim strikes or I go shopping or the kids do something really really funny.  In fact, in November I have committed to NaBloPoMo, which means I will be writing here EVERY DAMN DAY for the entire month.

I am an idiot.  Fortunately, I’m an idiot with a camera, so get ready for LOTS of pictures.  Probably of my shoes.

And that’s what I do for a living.  If you can come up with a way to explain that to people, I would much appreciate it.
