You may have noticed that I have been MIA lately I miss my little corner of the internet, I hope you missed me too.
In case you hadn’t herd, I recently accepted a full time job with Collective Bias as the Community Manager for their Social Fabric Community. It truly is my dream job, I’m home, I’m on the computer, I can still goto baseball games, PTO events, I’m traveling, I’m getting paid, and I am enjoying every minute of it. Along the way the last few... Lego CL!CK
The highlight of my trip to the Toy Fair was the Lego Blogger cocktail.
I don’t talk about it much here on my blog (I am going to start sharing more) but if you know me in real life you know that my 9 year old Austin is a Lego FANATIC. When we went to NYC in December that’s all he wanted to do was goto the Lego store. We are heading to Disney soon and again that’s all he can talk about. Heck with Mickey he wants to go to the Lego store.
Austin has been building with... Making Autograph Books for #DisneySmMoms Celebration
Only 16 days until we leave for #DisneySmMoms conference and we are so giddy!
One thing I wanted to make sure we all had for the trip was an autograph book. Last time I went to Disney with kids was in 2000 when Emilee was 3 and Zac was 1. We got the standard Disney autograph book at the park and when I got home I added photos and stickers.
It turned out ok and has been a great keepsake, but this time around I wanted something a little more personal and with more room to work so I decided... Huge Elmer’s Paper Crafting Products Giveaway! #BWE10
As most of you know I have been working with Elmer’s for the last few months and we are gearing up for another great project called Project Ready.
Project Ready is all about being prepared for any project you may need to do, whether it is a craft project, a school project, a science fair project or just a rainy day activity, do you have the basic supplies you need to complete a great project or will you be running out to the store at the last minute to find what you need. With... On The Road to Type A Mom #ChevyPA
Road trip! Who doesn’t love a road trip with no kids and a group of friends. Thanks to ChevyPa I got to take a road trip to the Type A Mom Conference with @MaryBabySteps, @CaraRolinson, and @Plussizemommy, a few of my favorite ‘Burg bloggers.
The morning started off with a few unplanned events and a yummy lunch at TGI Friday’s and finally we hit the road at 1:30 in a ultra sleek, very comfortable maroon Chevy Traverse. We had so much luggage we needed to fold down the 3rd... Kodak Big Apple Bus Tour at Blogher10
While I was in New York for the Blogher 10 conference, I was invited on a NYC bus tour by Kodak. Prior to arriving in NYC Kodak set each of us an EasyShare M580 camera to bring with us on the tour.
The coolest thing about this camera is you can “share” your photos instantly when you download them. You can share photos on Facebook, Flickr, Kodak Photo Gallery or through email. Before you download your photos from the camera you tell it where you want to share each one and... Hillshire Farm Sandwich Showdown at Blogher ~ Final Round

When I signed up for the Hillshire Farm Sandwich Showdown at Blogher I never imagined I would make it to the Semi-Final round but I did!
