I’ve checked out the SavvyMom site before and this was a really nice way to learn more about Victoria and how she got started in the web and mommy worlds. She was a very inspirational guest, especially since I have just recently committed to posting on my own mommy-centric blog.
I love the podcast format but my only complaint is that the sound levels were vastly different between Daria and Victoria- I had just put my daughter down for the night and I had to keep toggling the volume because Victoria was so quiet and Daria was so loud.
I would love to win the gift basket mentioned- I have a three year old and am expecting a second baby in late July so it would be fun to win!

Hi Naomi,
Thanks so much for your comment and kind words about the show. My apologies on the sound, unfortunetly Victoria’s phone was having issues on our tape date due to things going on in her building with the lines. We spent hours on editing the audio to the point it was at today and our equalizing did the best it could. Thanks for understanding.
Have a great night!

WOW! What an inspirational interview! Thank you Victoria for sharing your experience with all of us. I love your “down to earth” style and “real mom” approach to your product reviews. Daria, this was one of the most fun interviews to listen to. Thank you so much! (Oh, and congratulations Victoria on your new baby!!)

I have the savvy mommy website bookmarked. It is a great site. I would love a chance to win the giveaway.

This is actually only the second or third podcast that I have listened to. I really appreciated the advice Victoria gave. I look forward to listening to more podcasts now that we have a faster internet connection! Wohoo!

Hi Daria and Victoria!
Thanks for taking the time to do this show (and keep up this website and the Savvy Mommy website which I just bookmarked)- I know it is so much hard work and you deserve sooo many thanks.
Your show was right up my alley! I often help my friends who are first time moms when they are registering for their baby shower since I just love products for children and moms! I am glad you are having this contest because too often I get to listen to the show in the car but don’t get online to see your fun website – but obviously the gift bag is a big draw for me

I have to say I really admire Victoria.She is fabulous and I loved learning more about her!

Wonderful Podcast as always.
) I have always enjoyed Victoria’s Savvy Mommy site and loved hearing about how she got started. Thanks Daria!

I forgot to mention that this was the first podcast that I actually finished listening to. Usually I get bored and stop paying attention. This one was much more interesting to me since it featured mommies and media talk!
May 31st, 2007 at 11:53 pm
I love your show Daria. I listen each week and then some! Great interview with an inspiring lady. I like when you do the news too. keep up your amazing work on this site.

I don’t get a chance to stop by the chat boards as often as I would like, but I never miss a show! And this one was great and full of wonderful and inspirational advice. As a working mom myself I know the long hours and the constant going and going is so hard. That is why I am trying so hard to get my business on the move so I can stay home and see my babies grow up! instead of commuting 2 hours a day and working long hours. Thanks to you both Victoria and Daria for being such an inspiration to me! Thanks

First… Congratulations on your new baby
The podcast was wonderful and your site is GREAT!! I stumbled on it before but then could not find it again lol so I was happy to find you again! I love being able to find out about lots of products and mommy information all in one place 
You are great!!

What a great show! So inspirational – I want to pick Victoria’s brain. It’s great to see that you can have a family life and a career too. Just recently I started visiting the Savvy Mommy site as a friend told me about it. Now when I visit your site, it feels different as I feel like a know a little bit about you. Congratulations on your new baby!
