Too Busy to Shop Book Tour Hits Chicago This Week

The book event in Dallas last week was fantastic. Lots of friends from Ketchum and wonderful guests. A great crowd. Wine tasting of Stagecoach Vineyards' Veraison Synchrony (2004) was just yummy. I highly recommend it.

This week, the I'll be in Chicago on May 29 and 30 at the M2W Conference, www.m2w.biz, the largest marketing to women conference in the country. Can't wait to see my many friends there. I'll be speaking about the book on the morning of April 29.

Check out my guest blog post that just appeared on cnbc.com. http://www.cnbc.com/id/30389508.

Let me know if you are attending M2W. Hope to see you there.

Too Busy to Shop Book Tour in NY and Dallas

Had a ball in NY last week at the Too Busy to Shop launch event at the Ketchum office in NY. We had a great turn out at the event, including industry luminaries like Marti Barletta of the Trendsight Group, Emily McKhann of themotherhood.com and Stacy DeBroff of momcentral.com. Also met with ForbesWoman while I was in the city.

This week brings trips to New York and Dallas for the book tour. Will be doing an interview with the NYTimes tomorrow and them off to Dallas for an event for the Ketchum office there.

Lots of exciting coverage of the book. Check out the release on wsj.com http://online.wsj.com/article/PR-CO-20090406-904569.html.

Too Busy to Shop? Try Good Apples

Grocery shopping has become such a drag for a busy woman, especially since my family seems to be drinking up the milk at a record pace. What was once a week is now at least a twice a week stop. I try to stock up on canned and staple items for my pantry, but it always seems to be a losing battle.

That's why I've come to love Good Apples, the Virtual Farmers Market. https://www.goodapples.org/index.html. I order select items on a Monday or Tuesday and they are delivered to my office on Thursday. It saves me from that extra, very aggravating stop at the grocery store and the products offered are fresh and organic.

What are you doing to save time when shopping for groceries?
