About PHAT Mommy
I’m Shannon, a 39 year old homeschooling mother, blogger, web designer, and lover of all things internet. I have been married for 14 years to an incredible husband, father and marketing guru, and we have two children: L, our 9 1/2 yo son and C, our 3 1/2 yo daughter.
This blog began in March 2005 as a way to archive my family’s activities and share updates with far-away family and friends. As time went on, this blog has evolved into a true passion for me. I am totally in love with social media: networking, bookmarking, blogging, and all the other amazing web 2.0 applications. In my off-line life, I enjoy scrapbooking, skiing, swimming, and shopping.
I am a libertarian individualist in favor of capitalism, hands-off government, and the separation of school and state. You’ll find a little of everything here, and it is my hope you find something that makes you think outside the box.
What’s my story? Read on…
I founded FitnessLink, an online fitness information magazine, in 1995 and served as writer, editor, publisher, and web designer. With my writing talent and my husband’s marketing genius, the site grew to become one of the most popular fitness sites on the web. In late 2000, we sold FitnessLink to a web content portal. I also designed and developed several web sites, co-authored The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Online Health and Fitness (Macmillan, 1999), was a columnist for Physical Magazine, and contributed numerous feature articles in newspapers and fitness magazines. I was also a fitness instructor at a local health club for close to 10 years. I took a few years off from freelancing to focus on my family, and now my urge to design and write is assuaged by blogging.
You can also find me blogging at New Jersey Moms Blog and Blissfully Domestic.
PHAT = Parenting, Homeschooling And Technology - Loving. That about sums up my life at the moment.
