Mamavation Monday: BlogHer & Boogie Wipes

I’m warning you…this post is another doozie. Last weekend was BlogHer in New York City and I have a bunch of pictures to share.

First off, I’d like to thank my sponsors, Boogie Wipes. While I was there we gave away two tickets to BlogHer 2011. The theme was “Where’s Waldo” and the idea was people had to find me at BlogHer amongst 2000 other bloggers and give me their business cards. Well, they found me so much that I started having panic attacks and ran up to my room for a couple hours at a time. I guess I found out that among that many people, I get kinda agoraphobic. Who knew? 

Other than the panic attacks, I  had a fantastic time. There were parties, old and new friends, workshops…..ah, okay, I’m lying. There weren’t any workshops. They were there, but I  don’t really go to those anymore unless I have a close friend that is speaking OR they are talking about something very dry and legal. Yes, the dry legal stuff that NO ONE cares about is something I will flock to. Cause I’m that paranoid about getting sued. And I was going to go to law school until just before it was time to take the LSATs. I opted to stay with my job at the time and get a Masters instead. Looking back at it, I think I made the right decision, cause I would have NEVER been able to stay home with my kids and work.

Totally babbling…

Let me post some pictures for you to see…Here is me and @greeblemonkey. We have a tight bond cause we went up in an air balloon together at the Evo Conference. Now she’s like my BFF.

I didn’t bring a camera. I have so many friends that are photographers and I always find so many pictures of myself all over the internet, I don’t bother anymore. So if you ever see me at a conference, please take a picture of us together and post it on my facebook page. I will be forever grateful. ;) Here are some of those pictures…

Getting hair done at the Getting Gorgeous suite

The Kendall-Jackson/Hilton Party where I got to meet the Kendall Jackson family. They used to be attorneys. Now they are doing something entirely better–making wine.

About to run the Tutus for Tanner 5K in NYC. Yes, that is a pink tutu I’m wearing. Funny thing about running in New York City with a pink tutu on–you would totally think that people would gawk at you, but in NYC…it’s not as big as a deal as it would be in LA. I was shocked. Okay, maybe a couple of snickers and looks, but in comparison to other places…nothing. 

The make-up artist at the Getting Gorgeous and Xbox/ELF event. I LOVED her!

Me attempting to dance to the Just Dance game from Xbox. I had so much fun.

Why does this picture look like I’m naked? OMG
Okay, enough about me and my silly parties. This Monday I’m going to go over some of my basic tips for moms who want to lose weight. Be it 5 lbs. or 100 lbs. I’m not going to tell you HOW to do it, that you can figure out with other guests, I’m going to explain the mind set you need to have to be successful. Yes, kinda like Pete Cohen, but in my own words. So let’s call it a “Sistahood Mindset 101 Show.” Hope you can join me!
