Growing up we are raised to follow a certain path. Go to primary, middle, and high school. Go to college. Get a job. Get married and have kids. Stay in said job until retirement/kids out of the house. Retire. Die. I was on this path. Until I wasn’t anymore. And I felt a bit crazy [...]

April 21, 2012 By 4 Comments
There’s a major cleanup effort going on at the Heather Acton HQ right now, so thank you for your patience! I’m working on current content and a new theme for this site, but it takes time to craft these things. And even more so when it’s your own thing! I’m going back to basics over [...]
Strategy For Making Your New Business Successful
March 5, 2012 By 7 Comments
Being the new kid sucks. We’ve all been there. A new school. A new team. A new networking group. It puts us out of our comfort zone and can cause us to not act as our normal selves and not perform at our best. Being a new business is no different. It’s uncomfortable and intimidating, [...]

Sara Welker and I went to this show last summer at Ravinia, and this last bit blew me (and the crowd) away! (And, welcome me back to blogging! With all the changes going on with our family, my business, etc., I think this may become my happy place. Stay tuned!)

October 13, 2010 By 12 Comments
I started a post a month ago while at SocialDevCamp Chicago regarding my feeling of being the only Mom in a see of young, single, kidless, time rich men and women in the Web industry. How would I ever compete? How would I ever know as much? Maybe I shouldn’t even bother, I thought. Those [...]

I have been notably slow on my favorite social media sites Facebook and Twitter lately, but that doesn’t mean that there’s been nothing going on in both my real world and my web world! To make up for my absence of status updates and tweets, I’ll get everyone up to speed here and now. Home/Family [...]

So I am staying true to my promise that I would talk a bit about my trip in February to Houston, TX for the Mom 2.0 Summit. While I’m not going to type in the six pages of post that I wrote on the plane ride home, I am going to share this short highlight [...]
I Never Knew Motherhood Would Be Filled With This Much Guilt
March 2, 2010 By 13 Comments
I recently attended Mom 2.0 Summit (yes, my posts on that event are coming soon), and spent the entire trip riddled with guilt. So much so that it affected my ability to learn, network, and really let loose and have a good time with this group of like-minded and motivated women. To a degree, it [...]
