A few weeks ago my friend Julie, former college roomie turned amazing mommy blogger on Three Moms in One, mentioned that she knew of an online magazine looking for contributors in a few cities, including Knoxville. I got interested in that way that I do when I can't explain why but I just know that I have to try something. I sent in my information and a link to this blog and I am now happy to report that I am a GalTime Knoxville ambassador! I supposedly have press credentials and EVERYTHING!
I don't know that there was much competition for my position, but it seems to be a good fit. The other two gals on the Knoxville team are both young women living what I assume to be exciting lives in fabulous downtown lofts. I think the perspective of someone less fabulous, less young, and less energetic is much needed in Knoxville! Just kidding, but I am the only married working mom on the team, so I think I bring a unique perspective that lots of other ladies in Knoxville will appreciate.
So far I have two articles up on the GalTime site. My first article was about a bigger than average gal (me) in a smaller than average town (Knoxville) attempting to learn trapeze. My second article is all the info I found out about while preparing for the upcoming TN tax free Holiday. Did you know that the deal starts at midnight on Friday? I am actually awake, right now, at 11pm waiting to go to Walmart to (FINALLY) replace my broken laptop.
Some of my GalTime content will be a slightly different slant on topics that I discussed already on this blog, sometimes stories might run in both places simultaneously. I'm not completely sure how it will work having two places to write, but I have really enjoyed the writing that I have been doing here and I am excited about the opportunity to share some other ideas with a different audience. Now to come up with about 2 article ideas a month. This site, Liddy B and Me has always just been what I am doing or making with, for, and sometimes in spite of my family. My GalTime articles need to be slanted more towards events and ideas that interest women, specifically in Knoxville. I think my next article will be about the different locations for thrift store shopping in Knoxville (how are KARM, Goodwill, ACB, and AmVets differnt). I might eventually do something on the different places to train for a marathon in Knoxville. Feel free to pass along other ideas that pertain to women and Knoxville and thanks in advance for your support of this new venture!
