BlogHer ’10 Festivities – Day 2

Today was the official start of the BlogHer Conference.  I woke up early, got a shower, and headed down to the Newbie Breakfast where I met Danielle from Momotics for some chow.  After that, I finally met OuttaJo and we all headed over to the opening speech where they announced that next year’s BlogHer Conference will be in San Diego. ...


BlogHer ’10 Festivities – Day 1

Okay, I survived my first day of BlogHer 2010 Conference activities.  It wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be.  Right away, I hooked up with Jennifer from Fuck Yeah, Motherhood and we headed over to our first party – Social Luxe, where we were both nominated for a “Most Provocative” award. I was excited to get the invite...


Touchdown in NYC

I’m here!  Safe and sound!  We successfully navigated the New York subway system and I’m now resting uncomfortably in my 5 foot square New York hotel room.  No, that’s not a joke… we’re staying at The Pod for the first night and it is most seriously only about 5 feet wide by 7 feet long.  The bed is a day...


The Birth of Two Babes, 4 Years Apart

No Sleep ‘Till Manhattan

But this blog is my place for catharsis. This is the one place I can whine when my husband can’t stand hearing me whine anymore. So I’m...


This is Me, Opening a Childbirth Education Business

Today was one of the most exciting, and terrifying, days of my life.  As I’ve been finishing up my CAPPA childbirth educator certification process, I began searching for a place to teach my classes.  I called all over my area pricing yoga studios, and found that most charge somewhere in the neighborhood of $25 per hour.  If I want that...


Announcing My 2010 BlogHer Sponsors

I really could not be more thrilled to announce that, not only did I land a full sponsorship for this year’s BlogHer Conference in New York City, but it happens to be with two companies that I absolutely adore.  So many people wonder how one goes about landing a private BlogHer Conference sponsorship, so I’ll explain my journey here. When...
