Some Notes For Next Year- my FINAL #blogher10 post
I promise.
I just want to get some things down before I forget them next year, mainly for myself, but also for those of you thinking about making Blogher 2011 your first blogging conference. (It will be in San Diego!)
1. Build in time to do sight seeing in addition to the days you’re spending at the [...]
For Funsies- 1/2 Way There Belly Pic
Consider this a Tuesday bonus, or an early Wordless Wednesday (although the real Wednesday isn’t looking to be all that wordless if I can carve out some more time to write). Anyway, whatever you call it, it’s a belly pic with a shout out to baby girl’s favorite food, taken by my lovely friend Mandy [...]
I Was Inspired, Laughed Harder and Sprayed My Boobs Pink- #blogher10 recap 2
Day 2 of the conference was tough to get going for. The minimal sleep and non-existent naps really caught up to me. So Mandy and I headed out to Starbucks to fuel up, where we ran into Jen (who may not be the world’s most prolific blogger, but the girl can tweet her ass off).
I [...]
I Learned, I Laughed, I Wore Tulle- #blogher10 recap part 1
I’m home! Okay, I say that as if I just walked in the door, but I’ve been here since yesterday evening. However, my brain? Possibly still in NYC. I had to leave *something* there to make room for all the awesome goodies (swag) I got to bring home with me. So this re-cap post will [...]
Signing Off and Heading Out to Blogher!
I had every intention of getting a potty training progress report up for you all before I called it quits for the week on here, but I’m too busy FREAKING OUT (while simultaneously procrastinating) about flying to NYC tomorrow morning for 4 days where I will have the honor of rubbing elbows (and hopefully [...]
The Importance of Being Cute
As a mother of a 2 year old, when people say things to me like, “Isn’t this such a special time?” or, “These are the days you’ll really miss,” my gut reaction is to want to punch them in the teeth. Okay, but then I get over that and I forgive them, knowing that this [...]
What Home Means To Me
I’ve got another guest post up over at Joanna’s blog, Raising Madison, today. It’s all about what home means to me. Joanna asked me and some other bloggers to do some guest posts for her as she puts her energy into getting her house on the market and focuses on downsizing. Not unlike so many, [...]
Karma is Cracking Her Knuckles
And getting ready to BRING IT.
All the drama, the boyfriends, the prom dresses, the makeup, the bad hair day meltdowns, the slammed doors, the (INSERT MORE DRAMATICS HERE)- it’s all coming for me.
It’s. A. Girl! (Also, and most importantly, she looks 100% healthy!)
The tech said she was really, very confident and I had her scan [...]
What Will Baby BBQ Be?
Okay, I find it KUH-RAZY that I’m 18 weeks and 1 day pregnant already. What. The. Hell? The second half of this pregnancy is SIMPLY NOT ALLOWED to go as fast as the first. NOT ALLOWED!! I have waaaaaay too much to accomplish between now and then.
I am hoping, though, that this means those first [...]
5 Small Changes
So this post isn’t actually here, but over here, at Mandy’s blog. Mandy asked me (admittedly a LONGGGGG TIME AGO, whilst in the middle of the 1st trimester funk) to write a guest blog for her about some reasonable, small, not expensive changes she could make to become more eco-friendly. I finally got it all [...]
