Notes from the Nest was featured this week at About.com – how fun!

I’ve come across About.com when searching for things online, but didn’t really know what it was. Then I met Linda Lowen at the BlogHer conference last summer – she writes for their Women’s Issues section. As I browsed around the site, I realized that they have paid contributors that write on a huge variety of issues – if you are a freelance writer that’s passionate about a specific topic, click here!

Coincidentally, Apryl, the writer for the Stay-At-Home Moms section, has a similar story to mine. She left her long-time job to stay at home with her son, but then started blogging for her former company. If you’re interested in having your SAHM blog featured at About.com, sign up here. You can also share a picture in their family photo gallery.

Speaking of family photos, here’s a great one! It reminds me of my parents’ attempt to capture my four siblings and I, when usually at least one of us was grumpy. Apparently this whole family was in the dumps!

Would you ever be bold enough to use a shot like this on your Christmas card? Allison at Mrs. Fussypants keeps it real – I love it!

PS – I’m not being compensated in any way by About.com. Just wanted to share the info and a good mommy blog link!
