Interviewed and quoted on ABC News in article, "Mom-nesia: When Mothers Forget Babies"

[Excerpt: Forgetting Your Kids]

Liz Thompson, a mom of four, told ABCNEWS.com that she "can't remember a darn thing anymore." "When I take the kids to the doctor and they ask how old they are or when their birthdays are, I have to ask the kids," said Thompson, who writes for the New Jersey Moms' Blog. "The more children you have the less brain cells you're left with at the end of the day."

April 2008

Invited to attend Johnson & Johnson's Camp Baby (along with 50 other mom bloggers) for a 3-day event held in New Brunswick, NJ.

Interviewed and quoted in newspaper article, "Mommy Blogs Are Gaining Visibility" on NorthJersey.com.

[Excerpt]

Liz Thompson, a five-year veteran of the New Jersey mom-blogging scene, will be among the contributors. The Monmouth County mother of four has a blog, thisfullhouse.com, to share her thoughts and observations on parenting, product reviews, and teaching kids how to blog.

Her 100-plus visitors a day can compete for product giveaways – this month, a video camera. And as professional as her blog has become, the income she makes from sponsorship and other traditional advertisements is hardly enough to pay for groceries and gas, Thompson said.

"If I'm able to get a little bit out of it, that's great," Thompson said. "That's not why I do it, though. I just love to write, and I love that a blog gives you the chance to have a different discussion with different people every day."
