I feel a little sheepish after my last post, all “woe is me, I lost one of my freelance gigs, boo hoo” and now I’m going to tell you about two new projects I’m working on.
First, I’ve started writing for Babble and their Babble Voices project and I’m incredibly shocked I was asked to write for them. My blog is called Southern by Proxy, a name I’ve mulled over for years and just never had the opportunity to use. I love the logo, I’m so glad they used the little owl that Napwarden from NW Designs drew for me and this site.
My newest post is up over there and it’s a throwback to my old Smackdown series where I need you all to settle a disagreement between Tate and I. It’s all about Macaroni and Cheese so obviously you can see how pressing this matter is.
Also! Also, also! After the loss of my summer freelance job, I moped and twiddled my thumbs for a few days and then I decided to just start my own site. Opportunity knocked, I answered the door. As soon as I can get it all set up, I’m starting a website called Family Friendly Knoxville to highlight all the great family friendly activities, restaurants, events, deals, and more in Knoxville and surrounding areas. If you happen to live in the area, you can already check out our calendar of activities and events, follow us on Twitter @famfriendlyknox, “Like” the Facebook page, and follow our pins on Pinterest.
I’m really excited.
Also, I’m REALLY busy.
Good for you!
3 things
1) You look very pretty in your new pic on Babble.
2) Congrats on the new gigs. I’m supper proud of you for taking charge and coming up with a great idea for your area.
3) Sorry for disagreeing on your post! haha
Congrats on your new ventures!
Oh, and if opportunity ever knocks while you’re, like, in the shower or having a really bad hair day? Please tell it to stop by my house? Thanks!
I was thrilled to see you on the list of Babble Voices. You’re incredibly deserving. Also, what a great idea, launching the new site. I wish I could offer my expertise but I’m happy to help promote in any way I can.
Congrats on the Babble Voices gig – that is so great! And love that little owl.
I my have to email you about the other site for Knoxville area stuff because I was thinking of doing that in my area. There’s nothing like that here now that I’ve come across.
Are you doing it all on your own? Because I was thinking of partnering with another area blogger… Anyway, it’s a great idea and an exciting venture for you!!
Um, I have never heard of this…but I sure am going to try it next time I whip up a box…just out of curiosity of course. Let me first be clear, I’m with you Jenny, sorry Tater Tot.
Congrats on Babble and the new hometown site! I was also thinking about doing one of those in Jacksonville where I live so I’m excited to follow you here as that unfolds.
Go you!!!
I LOVE Babble Voices and am so thrilled to see you there. Love love!

Congratulations! I saw something on Mammapundit about this and she mentioned ‘Jennifer’. I thought it was you but then saw the Southern by Proxy and assumed it wasn’t you. I was wrong
Good luck!
Sooo glad that things are looking up for you! Congratulations!!!!!!!
Congrats on the Babble gig! That is huge!!
Busy is good. Being busy at things you love is even gooder.
Yay! So happy for you! XOXO
One day of “moping,” and you’re already on to new projects! LOL. Congrats on your new endeavors. I checked out the M&C debate. Sugar?! NO! I have a friend in Knoxville who will be thrilled to see a site for families!
Congrats for writing for Babble Voices. I really enjoy that site! Your new name is catchy too!
I’m one of those in-the-area people, and I’m so very excited that you’ve undertaken this project! Woo hoo! (Means I don’t have to do it now, lol.)
