About
Hi! Welcome to My World.
Where the town is tiny and the air is clean.
The Fighter Jets Train and The Ducks Reign.
Where Good is Crazy & Crazy is Good.
Mom of all trades… Jack of NONE.
I’ve got three Crazy kids and one Good husband.
Hi I’m Carissa Rogers.
In my former life I was a molecular biologist. In my current life I am the chief researcher of bloggy karma, parenting dos (and some don’ts), new recipes (with accidental veganism thrown in at times) and for spice I pretend to be a photographer…
I started blogging in February of 2008. I love the bloggy world where I share and connect with thousands of people about the happy, the sad, the rotten, and the silly! I write about my family, my story, my way.
- A recipe I recently made and couldn’t wait to share.
- A book I couldn’t put down.
- An ‘aha!’ moment when I figured out a new blogger trick.
- Surprisingly insightful moments with my children.
- Mom Techy/Bloggy Schtuff.
- And if I find a product/service/brand I love? Believe me I’ll shout it from the rooftops!
Please See my PRESS PAGE for examples of my writing elsewhere including SchoolFamily.com and GalTime.com.
I’ve learned that conversations start with stories… and explode into friendships.

I am VERY picky about reviews or other brand interaction when it comes to writing on my blog. But I am happy to share work with other bloggers who might be interested. Holler and I’ll point you in their direction.
I am willing to write about interesting projects and take part in mom campaigns. Please beware when you come to me with unpaid opportunities, I am likely to back pitch you with ideas that will surprise you and get your creative juices flowing. And then you’ll have to inform your boss that a ‘blogger’ came up with the fabulous idea.
And then your boss will have to pay me instead of you. (Just sayin’.)

Disclaimer: My REVIEW Policy
UPDATE.. as of May 2010, I do not take compensation in the form of reviews for GoodNCrazy.com. When I write reviews I often find other mom-magazine sites where I place these reviews: MomItForward, GalTime, TravelingMom and others. I do not promise to write at all when a product sample is offered. If I choose to write about the sample I retain all rights to voice whatever I feel or think about the product sample.
If I love something you won’t be able to stop me from shouting it from the Twitter rooftops!
Sponsored posts and reviews found on GoodnCrazy.com previous to May 2010 were often ‘paid in kind’. I received the product at no cost. After my family reviewed the product or service I wrote our GoodNCrazy thoughts and our story. I never received cash for a review. I always try to be fair and point out any negatives along with the positives when I can.
Currently any mention of a product, brand, service or otherwise is purely by my own choice and at my own expense unless otherwise noted. When noted it will run at the bottom of post and will say: Disclaimer… followed by my snarky version where I tell it like it is. (Example of an unpaid, uncompensated in any way, snarky Disclaimer.)

Good morning! I came across your site by accident but just wanted to say that for what is here I find it so refreshing! I look forward to reading more. When you get more established maybe you would like to be a guest blogger once in awhile on my site, www.janleasure.com I am a former nationally syndicated money saving journalist who has turned to the internet as a new mediun. Would love to know your reaction to my site, My very very best wishes for your success! Cheers to the biologist blogger! Sincerely, Jan

Hi Carissa,
I am a counselor who works primarily with teen girls and young women in the Portland area. I have recently opened an office on NW 21st and have been visiting with schools in the area to find out how to serve their kids. As a mother of a 6 and 3 year old boy, I have spent time with your blog and was wondering how you would feel about putting the word out there to moms of older girls who are having a rough time.
I would love it if you would check out my website and see what you think. Though it doesn’t say this on my website yet, I also work with women around issues of parenting and post-partum depression. Both subjects near and dear to my heart…
Thanks for your consideration,
Jackie Haddon, LCSW

Hi Site Admin,
goodncrazy.com
I am emailing from a leading advertising agency based in London.
I am getting in touch with you as I am looking for quality websites,
such as yours, to place some adverts on your website and would like
to know if this is something which would be of interest to you?
The placement of our adverts are contextually matched to the content on
the page, therefore relevant.
Do let me know if you are interested to discuss any partnerships with us
as we feel the positioning of your website will have strong benefits for
both parties.
Please email me back with your thoughts or questions.
Kind regards,
Kevin Graham
New Media Specialist
