Writing wrapup posts is hard for me. How can I encapsulate everything in to one single post? It’s hard writing everything in multiple posts, too. I’m giving it a shot. So, here’s my #BlogHer Dos post… Do bring recycled shopping bags — empty ones. When I go to a blogging event, I generally get...

So it seems a little funny to be writing an update post so long after everyone else, but… I finally uploaded photos to Facebook from BlogHer. A blog post is in order. On the Thursday of BlogHer I was invited to a very intimate gathering with Chris Evert. Evert is the spokesperson for Hood...

I contemplated buying a ticket then put it off. I heard about the BlogHer parties. I wanted to go to BlogHer but couldn’t make the decision to spend money I did not have on a ticket. Sponsorship seemed like a longshot. When I heard the announcement about the parties, I was left with no...

As young parents-to-be, my husband and I talked about the delivery, the first few days at home, breastfeeding, and everything else that young parents think about when contemplating the birth of their first child. We agreed on some issues and disagreed on others. One topic of discussion was the baby’s room. We had moved...

Last year I was jealous to an alarming degree reading tweets and posts and imagining all the fun everyone was having at #BlogHer without me. Green with envy. Not that many people knew who I was. I had only been blogging about 6 months or so…seriously. “Seriously” means I posted more or less every...

I suffer from what I call the “rambling, stream of consciousness elevator” pitch. Before BlogHer I worked on my pitch. I posted about my struggle to come up with a good pitch over at MomSpark Forum. I got a few good suggestions. I added. I deleted. I rephrased. My pitch still sounded vague and...

I wrote this on the train…posting now due to spotty internet… All week I wanted to write a going to BlogHer post. Kids, Swimming. Camp dropoffs and pickups. Playdates. Cleaning. Laundry. Paid work. You name it and I had a reason why I couldn’t get on line to post on my blog. It’s ironic,...

Would it make all of you going to BlogHer feel better to know that I just finished packing for TWO trips? It’s 3 a.m. What exactly am I doing up? I should be in bed, but I am collecting paperwork, printing out tickets, and printing business cards. Technically my husband printed them, which is...

This time tomorrow I will be preparing for BlogHer. I arrive at BlogHer on Wednesday. I’m leaving my family on vacation to go to BlogHer. I feel guilty about this…don’t get me wrong. I know that my family will have a fun time without me. I’m not a beach person at all. I wear...

I’m not even the parent-in-charge this week and I am totally stressed out. My husband is Mr. Mom. He has been since school let out. It’s a plus having a teacher for a husband. Especially during the summer. He’s doing laundry. Cooking. Getting it done. And, he’s the designated driver of the carpool to...
