The tv spot in San Diego went really well.  I wasn’t even nervous.  The anchorwoman who did it with me was so energetic and friendly that she aleviated any nervousness that I might have had.  I will be doing one in Palm Springs next week on Wednesday August 6 I think.  I will put a… [Continue Reading]

Tomorrow I am going to be on the news in San Diego.  I got an email out of the blue from a PR person who has a tv spot for some mom invented products, and he does not know a mom inventor near San Diego to present it.  So, he emailed me because I am… [Continue Reading]

I haven’t written in quite a while because I have been doing other things.  Sorry, but the computer just doesn’t rate sometimes (not that anyone cares whether I write or not).  I haven’t really been doing anything related to product and mom inventing lately anyway.  It has been the end of the school year, so… [Continue Reading]

I have been up since 2:00am this morning.  You ask why would any sane person do this?  The dogs woke me up.  They were running around the house like maniacs playing, and then I heard a bunch of chewing.  I checked on them, and there was chewed up kleenex all over the floor, and one… [Continue Reading]
