the one where i wrote a post for in the trenches

I almost forgot to mention I wrote another post over on www.inthetrenches.com. I'm grateful for the opportunity to write some more, and this is the first of what I hope will be many "top five" lists.

Have you ever seen the movie High Fidelity? Totally one of my all-time favorites. I love basically everything about it and every time I watch it I feel compelled to make top five lists about everything. It's fun to limit yourself to only five of the all-time best whatever.

Anyway, my post is called Five Fabulous Apps for Brand New Mamas! Check it out, let me know what you think, and tell me what your favorite mama apps are! I'm always looking for new ones.

the one where i link to "proud" on in the trenches

I'm part of a not-for-profit group called In the Trenches. I'm on the board and have done social media for this group of mamas for a little over the year. I've stepped back to focus on editing and creating content for the web site at www.inthetrenches.com.

Here is my latest post! It's called Proud and it's about my two year old. Let me know what you think! Either here, or on that site. :)

shameless plug

I don't want to be annoying about this, but I could use some new customers or some new orders from some current customers.

Go to www.marykay.com/melissacalo-oy


Put in an order. You can even attach a payment if you'd like.

I will email or call you with your actual total that will be 20% off.

If you get a friend to also place an order, you'll get 20% off plus a special gift. Two free eye colors or a free lipstick or a free lip gloss.

I'm totally down for doing parties but I will just need a little bit of notice so I can find a baby-sitter for the kiddo. As a hostess, you will get a ton of free stuff. It's actually a pretty fun couple of hours too. I do a lot of show specials and will make sure everyone who comes gets a good deal.

Email or call me any time! No order is ever too small (or too big!)
