Great news. I have been asked to collaborate with TLC on a new site called Parentables.

I am so excited that the site is now live — and you can be one of the first people to see it!

Parentables is about the modern state of parenthood, where parents from all walks of life can learn from each others’ foibles and successes. We aim to entertain, inspire, affirm, and tell-it-like-it-is.

We’re not academic experts – we’re just pros at juggling family, personal, and professional commitments. We’ve got to cook dinner, research that new car, arrange carpools, and book the next family vacation…in between doing the laundry, getting to the doctor and – oh yeah – balancing the checkbook. In short, we are Chief Household Officers. And though our politics and our parenting policies may not always align, we all understand the effort and joy that goes into navigating the maze of parenthood – and the need to get through it with a sense of humor and a shoulder to lean on.

I’ll be writing for Parentables twice a week and there’s already a lot of my stuff up there.

Some topics you may recognize, such as Up Your Happiness and Save Money with a Babysitting Swap. Others are completely new, like Should We Save for Retirement or College?, or travel pieces like See How Easily You Can Find the Best Deals on Hotels.

You can see them all on my author page, and I’ll be posting here when a new article is published. (Apologies to my subscribers as I get you caught up with what’s already on the site.)

You can also keep track of all the good things happening by following Parentables on Twitter and Facebook.

Thank You, Readers

Just last fall, I was telling you that I wanted my blog to lead to paid writing assignments. This is really a dream come true for me, but it’s to you that I owe a big thank you hug.

If it weren’t for the success of Frugal Mama, I would never have been picked for this assignment. Over the many days and months, you have lent me an ear, written me encouraging comments, sent articles to your friends, and allowed me to drop updates into your email box. Thank you for being there!

Revenue-Sharing Makes Readers Even More Important

Most of my fee depends on how many page views my articles attract, so if you click over or share one of my Parentables’ posts with someone, I thank you again!

Just like at Frugal Mama, I’ll be putting a lot of effort into writing detailed (albeit shorter) articles that help people save money, and hopefully, make life better.

Thank you again for being my reader.
