Blogher Away Message

Hello, I’m unable to come to my blog today because I’m busy doing one of the following:

1. “Packing” (stuffing and throwing myself onto the tops while begging others to zip) my bags
2. Embracing my geekiness
3. Covering myself in glitter
4. Pumping
5. Having conversations with adults while wearing not a drop of baby puke

If you are here to find out more about me, click here.
If you are here to read about how I almost birthed my 2nd baby in a toilet full of poop, click here.
If you are here to check out my crafty tutorial for making a pillowcase dress, click here.
If you are here to figure out what the hell Baby Rabies even means, click here (my very first post ever).
If you are here to read a couple of my most popular recent posts, click here and here. 

Would you like to learn more about my super awesome conference sponsor BornFree and enter to win the Newborn Prize Pack, valued at $515, that they are giving away to one lucky entrant? Then click here. They are drawing the winner on the 22nd.

I will return late Sunday evening, and then I will sleep as long as the children let me before I wake up on Monday, throw some food at them, turn on the TV, and again try to sleep some more. All non-urgent comments and emails may be answered by mid next week. Maybe.

If you would like to speak with the operator (okay, me, so keep in mind the timeframe and the frazzled-chaotic-panicky state of mind I’m in), please leave a comment after the beep.

BEEP

BornFree Sends me to #Blogher11, A Giveaway, And GLITTER!

by Jill
written by Jill

It’s that time of year again, when I get to abandon my children with my husband and escape to a place where other women (thousands of them) all come together in the name of blogging and overall geekiness, dressed up with fancy parties and glitter.

It’s Blogher time.

(I can hear the collective “Ughs” now.)

Okay, I’ll try not to innundate you with all the details this year, as I get that most of my readers don’t really care. BUT, I will be forced to share with you all anything super awesome and hilarious that happens, like that time I sprayed my boobs pink last year and cried to my roomies to “GET IT OFF!”

Also, I think you’re ALL going to want to know how to win this sweet giveaway from my sponsor (for the 2nd year in a row) BornFree!

In honor of us teaming up for the conference again, they’re giving away one prize pack, valued at over $500, that includes:

1 Summer Infant Baby Touch Digital Video Monitor
1 Summer Infant Prodigy Infant Car Seat (new to the market, not available until September)
1 BornFree gift set 

Here’s the coolest part: ANYONE can win this Blogher swag, even those of you at home. Even those of you without a blog! I’ll have more details on how to enter to win next Thursday, August 4th, so stay tuned. I think we’ll also try to do some more #homeher giveaways this year for those of you on Twitter who can’t make it to Blogher.

How awesome that I get to represent them again?! We use and love their safe feeding products (and pacifiers!) more this year than ever before. BornFree bottles + momma’s breastmilk freezer stash + a daddy who can rock the single parenting thing for 5 days = a mommy who gets a much needed escape!

I leave next Wednesday and have a panic-inducing list of things to get done before then, including the following:

Get hair cut and colored for the first time since last October
Mani/pedi so I don’t cut anyone with my rough and gnarly nails
Purchase shoes coated in glitter for 2 very glitter worthy parties

In other words, Blogher has turned into an awesome excuse to finally stop looking like a troll post-baby, and possibly an excuse to dress in clothes covered in craft herpes (if you don’t get it, I promise that link is worth clicking on).

Also going down this weekend????

NEW BLOG DESIGN. Finally, finally, FINALLY. It’s been a year in the making!

It’s going to be a pretty epic couple of weeks around here, so if I’m slow to respond to an email, tweet, or comment, please forgive!

And with that, I’m off! I think I shall make it my mission to find my glitter shoes tonight. Oh yes, these will be mine. ::crosses fingers Kohls still has them in stock::
