Dory Devlin: Blogging Mom

I am a Yahoo! person, just because my mail account is at Yahoo!. Tonight, I was surprised to find an interesting addition to the "tech" part of Yahoo!.

Her name is Dory Devlin. Her title is "The Mom". Her bio reads that she was a journalist for 20 years and mom for 13.

She writes "I love writing about our everyday struggle to mesh work and family without sacrificing either. My blog is a daily look at the convergence of work, home life and technology. Together, we'll explore how technology can help us—and drive us crazy as we spend precious hours researching, installing and troubleshooting electronics we suddenly can't live and work without."

She goes on to say that she is a typical consumer who has to spend time sifting through products and finding out which her family needs, wants or can afford.

She writes "As a mom running a household of five (and the sole tech support in my home office), I’m the one who deals with broken printers and unintelligible DVD player instructions. So if I like something and it works, I bet you will too. On Yahoo! Tech, I'll also be writing about what works and what doesn't for my friends, family—and you."

Right now her blog consists of really good holiday gifts and tips for shopping during the mad season. I'm thinking that it is advice from one mom to another but maybe she has other readers?? Mom bloggers...who would have thought?
