Hi!

I’m Sheena and I am swooping down to join Stroller Depot as coNectar’s newest writer. I’m more than thrilled to be a part of this new journey as Stroller Depot leaps beyond company updates to engage the online community. In this space, I’m hoping to spark discussion, provide helpful parenting resources, and spread a little sunshine. I want this place to be a safe haven where parents can hang out, have fun, and be inspired.

I’m a passionate twenty something mommy to our almost two year old, Jayden Elijah. He keeps us going all.day.long.

I’m engaged to my Junior High Sweetheart. Note to self: blog our love story. We are a team; we both work together at home while enjoying every precious moment our boy delivers.

I’m a free spirit, probably a Joan of too many trades. Thing is, I simply can’t function without sprinkling my eggs in a variety of baskets. Eh…we’ll pretend I didn’t just say that. I’m a freelance writer, web developer, amateur photographer, and I dabble in social media. I’m obsessed with anything better living. I’m in the process of greening our lifestyle. I get a rush each time I achieve fabulousness frugally. I may watch a little too much HGTV and my Better Homes and Gardens magazine collection may be getting a little out of control.

If you are partial to rambling, you can read my blog or follow me on Twitter.

So now I pass the torch on to you. What topics would you like to see covered here at coNectar? Any suggestions would be awesome!

Until next time!

Remember the simple things,

Sheena

A Few of Mom’s Favorite Things!

If you are a mom this video is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.  One of three “mom anthems” to be published over the next few days … this is already a classic in some circles.  We think you’ll agree that these really are a few of a mom’s favorite things … hint: naptime.

We here at StrollerDepot.com have just started a new program where anybody with friends (should include just about everybody) can currently win up to $200 every week simply by telling those friends about content on StrollerDepot sites (which include CelebrityBabyBuzz.com and others).

And it really is pretty simple to make happen.  Just signup on the mailing list (takes about 2 minutes), create a link to one of our thousands of very cool pages:) (takes about another minute) and post it to the places your friends will see it (maybe another 5 minutes?).

As your friends click through … you will earn chances at winning one of 2 weekly $100 prizes supplied as a VISA gift card usable just about anywhere.  Easy schmeezy!

It’s called our “Friends & Fans … of YOU!” program and we think you’ll love it.  Click here to learn more about it.

Congrats to the R. Family from Cape Cod!
