Facebook is there for the taking. Everyone has their own wall. We can all do what we want with it. It’s our own billboard on the highway. All of our friends get to drive past it. And we get to be in charge of our very own marketing campaign. Humblebrag away! Really, post away! It’s up to you what you post to your wall. Facebook brag or humblebrag You can outright brag on Facebook or you can try to hide it in a humblebrag. The choice is yours. You too can brag and tell the world how great you and … Read more

Adults Need Attaboys – We really don’t get that many attaboys as adults. Maybe we get a paycheck or we’ve had a somewhat successful week parenting.* Other than that, really, it’s not like our peers and family are saying, “Great job,” to us… ever.

Many humble bragged about how certain kids “like liked” their kids. Just the other day, a mom was eager to tell me how a girl was “following around” her fourth grade son at recess. … Read more

Facebook and politics don’t mix. If you’ve been on Facebook lately or anytime really, you will have seen it. Political posts on Facebook are rampant. Long gone are the days where we looked forward to logging onto Facebook. Remember the early days when we were so happy to connect with long-ago friends? We would relish in the ability to keep up with dozens — and then hundreds — of friends near and far. But now?
