PR Welcome Here!


Hello, I'm Teresha! I just launched Marlie and Me to continue chronicling my journey into motherhood. I am a new mommy (a SAHM trying to figure out how to become a WAHM) and a blank slate. I started actively blogging in January of 2009 to keep family and friends updated on my pregnancy. You can check it out at Jamaican Bun in the Oven. I honestly tripped into the mommy realm of the blogosphere, but it was a fortunate stumble. People, other than my mother-in-law, started reading my blog, liked what they saw, and kept coming back. Respectively, I have learned so much from the many great women (and men) I have met online through blogging. I want to keep it going and contribute my own thoughts, opinions and advice to the mommy blogging community.
Marlie and Me is a forum to share my experiences in new motherhood as I navigate baby gear, breastfeeding, cloth diapering and parenting with the objective of delivering education, resources, and a good dose of humor to my readership. I think the tag line says it all...living, laughing, loving, learning.
One area that I am developing on my blog is a section dedicated to reviews. I want to spread the word about which products and services are the best for children and mothers through written reviews and giveaways. I am looking to build relationships with companies, big and small, that offer products that help make raising 21st century families easier on parents while helping them live better lives. If you are a PR professional that has stopped by my site, I would love to talk to you about your company or product. Please feel free to email me at t_freckleton@yahoo.com.

My interests are in holistic health and nutrition, family-oriented birth, parenting, education and youth development, organic foods and products, environmental issues, community service, news and media, technology and electronic media, entrepreneurship and business development, fashion, entertainment and pop culture, and arts and literature, bargain hunting and discount shopping.

I have an educational background in journalism, photography, counseling, and nonprofit management. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom, I worked for more than 10 years in youth development, philanthropy and social enterprise. I have experience in creative writing, branding, community relations and social marketing.

A special thanks to Adrienne at Adrienne's House and Tara at Feels Like Home for this opportunity to connect with PR!
