Organizing the Disorganized Parent

Are there any other parents out there with that sinking feeling that August 1 is almost here (aka the other side of halfway through Summer)?

Top 20 Keyword Search Terms for...

The Keyword Search function in Google Analytics is one of my favorite features. “Porno” and “Animalsex” are consistently in our top 10 (thank you Isabella Rossellini)…and those searches often come from Turkey.

Penguin, You Give Me Hope

We’ve talked a bit about advertising on this blog, — and I still maintain that there’s a huge opportunity for “great” advertising. As I’ve said a million times, why do the rest of us have to be fabulous all of the time but advertising only has to be great once a year for the Super Bowl? I stumbled upon these great ads that Penguin Books did, which gives me hope that great ads do exist, even...

What Makes A Bookstore Great?

One of the many topics covered was why Aubrey loves Prairie Lights. I asked her to write a a post explaining what makes it such a wonderful place: A few weeks ago I made a trip out to Iowa–the order of business,...
