Thoughts From A Digital Mom Turns 2!
Happy Birthday to the little newsletter that could
Two years ago I had an existential crises about technology and kids and started this newsletter. So much has happened since. I’ve written and published 124 posts. I do speaking events for communities and companies. And, in just a few weeks I’ll be launching my very first on-demand video course.
To celebrate this 2 year milestone— and to give myself a bit of break while I get ready for this course launch— I’ve curated the 4 most important posts I’ve written over the last 2 years.
For those of you who are new to this newsletter- these are the essentials. For those of you who have been with me for a while, these are the ICYMI’s.
