Holly Homer is a blogger.  Of the mom variety.  Three years ago, she founded Business 2 Blogger with two other local bloggers as a protest to the "cold email" pitch in a desperate attempt to empty her inbox.  This lead to designing, managing and participating in many blogger-lead communities, online influencer programs, brand ambassadorships and blogger events.  She remains the stay at home mom of three boys living in the Dallas suburbs.  In spite of all that June Cleaver bliss, you are much more likely to find her at a poker table than in the kitchen.
