On the second day of BlogHer it was not yet time to wash my hair, since I do it every other day. The night before I relaxed in the hot tub with some really good friends and part of my ponytail dipped in the warm, bubbly water as we chatted and soaked our happy bodies. Then the security…
January always comes after December
I always think “Oh my gosh, another year has passed just like that,” when I begin to take a look back. Like many of us, I assume, the calendar changing to a different number at the end of the date on my checks, always surprises me after all the craziness of Christmas. (yes, I may…
So, How Was BlogHer?
It was pretty good, I have to say. Many of my friends were there and the sessions I went to (3) were quite good. Especially the session within in a session with Cheryl Dumesnil where we talked about creative writing, and she used poems as examples. That was really great! And I loved the small…
Samsung Home #BlogHer14
I think my kids open the refrigerator door about 502 times a day. And the dishwasher in my house is probably my most used appliance. And no, I don’t mean one of the kids or the husband. I mean my ACTUAL dishwasher. We are close friends. (although I am gently encouraging forcing the kids to help…
Chicago Through my Lens
On the Saturday afternoon of my trip to BlogHer in Chicago, I had to get out and use my camera, much like the first time I was there in 2009. There were many brides out that day, in Millennium Park and the weather was amazing, only 64 degrees. That’s unheard of in summer where I…

iPieces – Review & Giveaway
While at BlogHer this year I came across a booth in the expo with these fun little pieces that work with games on the iPad, called iPieces. Basically you turn your iPad into an interactive game board. I thought that was SO cool! The kids and I got pretty excited when our own pieces showed up…
My Friend Katie & MEM
So Katie was at BlogHer. Not my Katie but Katie of The Today Show/CBS News and now her own talk show fame, Katie. Lisa Stone (of BlogHer) interviewed her during lunch on Saturday and I have to say I was completely impressed. On Friday another famous woman was in the same spot and before the…
A New York State of Mind
Just a few favorite images from my trip to BlogHer last week. p.s. Thank you SO MUCH to the sweet and beautiful Heather D. for going on a way-too-short but very informative photo walk with me on Saturday!
BlogHer ’12, The Love Post
I have some really amazing friends. They are amazing because they share their lives with me and their hearts with me and their souls with me. They are amazing how they put their whole selves out there and they put their stories out there. To help others. To feel better. To help others feel better….
