Oh Hai!
If you have wondered where I have been while I was seriously neglecting this site, the answer is: I was in New York City at BlogHer.
BlogHer is THE blogging conference for women. It is where you learn to hone your skills, network with other bloggers as well as other PR reps (who are the reason that I continue to be able to bring you fantabulous giveaways).
I had every intention of keeping up with a reasonable posting schedule. However, once I got to New York and saw all of the things that I would miss doing, it hit me....in the 2 years that I have made this site my full-time job, I have had very few days off. I took off when I threw my back out this past Memorial Day (believe me, you didn't want me doing coupon matchups while I was on valium), when Brad's grandmother died and we had to go for the funeral, and maybe 2-5 other days in 2 years. I needed a "real break"...one that didn't include death or narcotics.
Don't get me wrong. I love this site and all that I know that it does....I just needed a break. In the past 4 days I have met and talked to and taken pictures with Jennie Garth (and I SO wanted to tell her that she totally should have gone for Brandon instead of Dylan), Chef Scott Liebfried (my future 2nd husband, as soon as we break the news to his wife an Brad) and Gavin DeGraw. I've been in heaven!
But I am back home now and it's time to catch up. Please bear with me while I do so!
In the meantime - here's a few pictures for you!
P.S.: I love to Brad to pieces, but do you want to know what the absolute LAST thing I wanted to hear when I walked in the door was? It was "Hey! We've been out of toilet paper for the last day and a half!". They've been using all the free Kleenex that we got!
P.P.S: If you ever REALLY want to keep up with what I am doing, I always invite my readers to Friend me on Facebook.
P.P.P.S: although I too tend to talk about Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay on Facebook
P.P.P.P.S.: and Bud Light Lime
P.P.P.P.P.S.: and I get especially snarky on Facebook. If you have some delusion that I am anything other than a completely flawed and real mom, please don't friend me!
