Well, where the heck you been? (You're most likely asking me this question.)

The past few months, homeschooling kinda slid under the table. Boy 2.0 (as I've come to call him) doesn't respond well to dark, cold days. Instead of fighting a losing battle, I put him on autopilot and went off on a sidetrip of my own to the land of Twitter.

Twitter.com is a world where folks come together online to share thoughts, weblinks, happenings, pictures, news flashes, jokes, music, and (unfortunately) sales pitches. All of this in 140 characters or less. The action is fast, addictive, and much needed for a Mom like me who can't talk much with other adults during the day. A few of the folks I've met I consider friends--we provide each other with support, advice, and the occasional laugh to help the day go along.

The connections can lead to opportunity as well. I recently landed a guest post for the National Wildlife Federation's Green Hour, an online resource for parents who want to put more "green" in their kids' daily lives. (My blog is scheduled for March 4, if you're interested.)

Curious? Check out Twitter.com. I'm @edisonsmother and @worldismygarden.  Look forward to seeing you there!
