Roses are Red Violets are Blue I’m not a fan of going to the dentist How about you? Yesterday morning, I was at the dentist. My feet were propped up in the vinyl chair with the bright light shoved into my face and the paper bib clipped around my neck. It was just a regular cleaning but […]
The other day, I drove downtown with my heart beating out of my chest. I had carefully stuffed three notebooks full of 17 pages that contained notes about how I started The Savvy Copywriter, LLC, our ethical operations, what it’s like to be on The Savvy Copywriter team, testimonials from clients, and testimonials from community […]
Newsflash: You’re human. So am I. Part of our shared human quality is that we stumble and fail from time to time. Even the best of us have our faults, downfalls, and days when we feel like nothing is going our way. Lately, that’s been the norm in my corner of the world. You see, in […]
It’s safe to say I’m online A LOT. Especially this time of year. Between holiday shopping and my regular Googling of how to be a better parent (what did our moms do before the Internet?)

Sometimes, the Internet can hit you with a blogging idea when you least expect it. Case in point: This post. While I was trying to come up with a hot little number to write about, I turned to my trusty tool, Google Trends. After keying in a few topic ideas (content marketing, copywriting, fighting fatigue […]
Last week, I piled 4 suitcases, a jogging stroller, an Orca cooler, myself, my husband, and my 6-month old into our white Rav-4 and made the 12.5 hour trip up to Denver, Colorado for the 2016 Digital Marketing Summit (plus a visit with some family along the way). The drive was long but the experience […]
I closed the book and felt it. Familiarity. It was a refreshing feeling – and I’d only made it past the first chapter. This wasn’t a profound book by any means, but it hit me in a profound way. Amy Poehler’s Yes, Please! is her memoir about how she got into improv. (NOTE: That’s not an affiliate […]
It was a dreary portable unit that reminded me of my fourth grade classroom. There were old signs strewn about, vintage pictures on the wall, and a make-shift desk in front of me filled with papers and a clumsy laptop that looked way too heavy to want to carry anywhere. “I know your passion is […]
