Julie Marsh

Hi, I’m Julie Marsh. I’ve been writing online since August 2005. My first blog was mothergoosemouse, a traditional mommy blog. Then I started The Mom Slant, an op-ed blog with a parenting twist, in April 2009. Now I write at JulieMarsh.net about whatever I please - family, work, home, travel, religion, politics, triathlon, sobriety, and all the pretty things I want to create and/or eat.

I’m the VP of Operations at Cool Mom Picks, a cheeky shopping blog for parents, focused on small, independent businesses and fabulous design. I’ve written for The Imperfect Parent, The Stir by CafeMom, MamaPop, and I’m a founding member of Blog With Integrity.

I moderated the Beyond the FTC session at Mom 2.0 Summit in February 2010, and spoke as a panelist at the Storytelling and Memoir session at the annual BlogHer conference in August 2010, at the Engaging Women + Moms session at the inaugural AMP Summit in September 2010, and at the Show 'Em You Mean Business session at the inaugural Dad2Summit in April 2012. I’m a contributor to the anthology Mothers of Intention by Joanne Bamberger, one of Babble's Top 50 Mom Blogs (2009) and Top 100 Mom Blogs (2011, 2012), and in August 2010 I was honored by Parenting magazine as a Must Read Mom.

I've survived a tour at the Pentagon, a stint in the music industry, three kids, and 15 triathlons (and counting). I love vacuuming, Sudoku, and shoes.
