Owner/Editor of The Dirty Shirt Product Review Blog Named one of the Neilsen Power 50 Moms in Digital Media
Orlando, Florida Area
Over the last year and a half I have changed my blogging from casual to business. My product review blog, The Dirty Shirt, has taken off and led me in directions I never thought I would go.
I have become a Frigidaire Test Drive Mom and was named one of the Top 50 Power Moms in Digital Media, things that made me realize that I love what I do and was proof that hard work paid off.
I was recently invited to TJ Maxx and Marshalls headquarters in Boston as well as General Mills headquarters in Minnesota, two trips that really opened my eyes to products in a way that has never happened before. The connections made and lessons learned are priceless.
After being a part of social networking for over a year now, I realize that I have learned a lot and am very interested in keeping that learning pace up by attending the upcoming IZEAFest here in Orlando in October. I want to take my blog and my business to the next level.
I have also just launched a community for Central Florida Moms that I am hoping will become a place for tweetups, blogger events, and general friendship among moms.

Through my blog, The Dirty Shirt, I have made connections with PR reps for name brand companies like VTech, Harper Collins and Pillsbury. I am currently accepting PR pitches to place product reviews and possible giveaways. If interested please email me with product description, images and anything pertaining to having a positive review written about said product. Product reviews are only written after hands on "testing" so consumers will know it was a "tried and tested" review. Heavy emphasis on toddler toys, clothes and accessories, tween products and products for teens.
