I would never venture to say I'm a photographer. There is something incredibly official and expert-like about that distinction and I definitely feel like I'm still learning and honing my skills. I simply l... Read More »

Most of our playdates are spontaneous, informal get-togethers, often without much notice. Having children definitely gives meaning to the phrase "best laid plans," so we organize and schedule and hope for the best.
I haven't spoken a lot about BlogHer because I'm organizing my thoughts and the content I gleaned into information I hope you'll find valuable. I'd mu... Read More »

Tomorrow, I'm heading down to San Diego for an amazing (and whirlwind) three days of blogging, tweeting, networking, and socializing! This year will be my fourth BlogHer conference and I'm very excited about the fact that it's literally in my backyard.
To keep me connected, I'm taking the brand new Samsung Focus Windows Smart Phone! Of course you're probably th... Read More »

I can't believe how quickly this year has gone by. It feels like just a short time ago that I was in New York learning, networking, and engaging with other women in social media. When the announcement was made that BlogHer would be in San Diego, I was excited an... Read More »

It's almost here! The largest conference for women in social media will take place in sunny San Diego this year and I'm thankful to be attending, once again, with Bumble Bee Foods. As always, there is so much to do and see in just a short amount of time. Thankfully, BlogHer will be held in a city that is almost like a second home to us. At just an hour away, we... Read More »

I'm back! I've just spent the most memorable 10 days in the city that never sleeps. Last year, around this time, BlogHer announced that they would hold it's annual conference in New York City. I couldn't purchase my ticket fast enough. And because we live all the way on the other side of the country, our vacation was decided in that moment. For a year, my ... Read More »

Whew! It's been a very busy few days. I worked shifts back-to-back over the weekend in order to have some much needed time off! The last few days we've been shopping, packing, and prepping for our time in New York City, hence, the lack of blogging. The next few days will be a bit busy and I may not have a lot of time to post (which is the ironic part of a blog... Read More »

In less than two weeks, I'll be on a plane to New York City for my third BlogHer convention. It's hard to believe that three years ago, I didn't even know what BlogHer was.
I want to start by thanking Bumble Bee Foods, for their generous sponsorship. On Thursday, Bumble Bee Foods is hosting a reception at the Viking Demo Kitchen in New York City. Chef Scott... Read More »

I'm just about 5 months pregnant and have been wearing maternity clothes since the little plus sign popped up (at least it feels that way). I didn't purchase a large maternity wardrobe when I was pregnant with my son because I was on bedrest. The only shopping I was able to do was online, and I only bought comfy clothing (since I was at home for 5 months). I feel ... Read More »

Tomorrow morning, I leave for Chicago with a plane full of Los Angeles bloggers bound for the largest women's blogging conference ever. As I sit here, typing this, my little boy lies sleeping next to me. He's been sick...nothing major...nothing we needed to take him in for...just not feeling well. And my excitement is clouded just a bit since I am leaving him fo... Read More »

BlogHer '09 is days away and I'm both excited and slightly overwhelmed with all the things to think about: bloggers and companies I finally get to meet in person, breakout sessions that I can't wait to attend, the LA to Chicago flight with something like 30 bloggers on it, so many parties I can't even count and much needed naps due to pregnancy! And so much more! ... Read More »

Where do I begin? I just attended a conference like no other... I was inspired to pursue writing which has always been a passion of mine and motivated to explore my interest in photography. Here is a brief recap...
What better way to kick-off a conference than a party...or four! Mom Central, Alltop/Kirtsy (pics here), The People's Party, and The Newbie Mixe... Read More »
