What originally attracted you to the IZEA/SocialSpark community and how did you find out about it?
I started working with IZEA long before the SocialSpark days. I have actually been working with IZEA in some way for about 7 years. I don’t remember how I found out about IZEA but I am glad that I did. At this point, I’d definitely consider us to be best friends.


Describe your blog in 140 characters or less…
Modern Day Moms is a publication geared towards the latest trends, crafts, recipes, tips & more. Chances are, if you google a certain diy or recipe, you will stumble across our blog.  It’s true, just google “alternative bleach laundry”, for example.

What inspires you to blog?

 Daily life. As a mom and wife, I get a lot of inspiration just from the daily. You’d be surprised at the awesomeness I could come up with just from a large pile of clean laundry on the floor, that’s been there for a week (or two), untouched.

Do you ever get stumped for what to write? How do you overcome this?
Thankfully, I don’t. One good thing about running a blog centered around parenting, is the fact that it doesn’t really go out of style. From now until the day I die, I will be a parent and will always have something to talk about in that regard. The other topics come and go depending on what I am inspired by that week.

If you were President for a day what would be your first order of business?
Since unfortunately nothing could change the world in one day and of course, the President himself cannot pass laws (they have to go through congress), I’d say my first order of business would be to order a bunch of cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcakes in DC and pass them out to anyone I see.

What do you love about IZEA/SocialSpark?
Everyone is so easy and friendly to work with.

What has been your favorite SocialSpark campaign?
I loved working with SocialSpark to host a twitter party for Beggin’ Strips. That was an awesome time, not to mention the fact that we were trending for HOURS right next to the Pope!​

How do you actively stay engaged with your audience?
By being consistent!

What tips can you give other bloggers that can help set them apart and stand out?
Give your audience something to look forward to. If you are bored with what you do, they will sense it. It’s important to stay active and keep the conversation flowing. Most importantly, BE YOURSELF.

Complete this thought: If I could, I would…
If I could pick any chore that I would not have to do for the rest of my life, I would pick laundry. The washing, drying, folding, putting away… it’s just… it’s not fun!
