About/Contact

So you want to know more about me, huh?

The best way to reach me is by email at bridgette (at) thenotsoblog (dot) com.

My name is Bridgette and I am the creator/writer/mastermind behind The Not-So-Blog.  Because I am a Lab Tech by day, I have a natural inclination to inquire about how things work and how I can make them work for me and my family.  I started blogging in July of 2008 to discover the hottest items to make this working Mom’s life easier!  I never intended for my blog to really take off (let alone have loyal readers!), hence the name The Not-So-Blog. As it turns out, I really enjoy writing and my blog started to evolve into a real life blog. Now, I am a The Experimental Mommy.

My blog was featured in the LA Times and you can see me in action on the Good Morning New Orleans show on ABC 26! Recently, I was honored to be mentioned in the new book “Mom Blogging for Dummies” by Wendy Piersall.

In addition, my writing has been featured on both KRAFT and Nestle Family microsites.  I also have been Brand Ambassadors for Pampers, Green Mountain Coffee K-Cup portion packs, LifeLock, Whirlpool, Microsoft Windows, Ubisoft and Constructive Playthings.

I am the co-founder of social media consulting and blog outreach company along with Cecelia Mecca.  By creating iConnect Influencer Management, LLC, we have assembled some of the most reliable, thorough, and trafficked bloggers on the Internet!  Our network has grown to more than 3400 bloggers and our company offers influencer outreach campaigns, Ambassador programs, live events, Twitter Parties, Instagram campaigns and Facebook Live hosting. Recently, we have managed campaigns for Pampers, Kalahari Resorts, Buddig, Huntington Learning Centers, Dreft, Luvs, Old Spice, Aflac, Dawn and Cascade.

Personally, I am a full time Mom who works outside of the home as an environmental scientist (I am also a full blown science geek).  I have two beautiful daughters (ages 10 and 13) who help me with posts whenever possible.  Actually, they decided to start a their own blog for kids, tweens and teens called KidsXtreme.  My husband and I live happily in Southeast Louisiana.

Want to collaborate?  Feel free to contact me at bridgette (at) thenotsoblog (dot) com to discuss how I can best work with you and your company.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
