Day 1 of my BlogHer Trip!


Good morning! It’s day 2 of my BlogHer trip, and with the time change, I am up at 4am typing away! I really wanted to tell you all about my day yesterday while it was fresh on my mind. I brought my 4 month old son, Shem, with me on this trip, so it has been a lot more difficult to get on the computer than I expected it would be!

The plane trip was not too bad – the 4 hour stretch from Chicago to San Diego was a little boring and I thought of you all most of that time since I had originally planned to blog from the plane. Unfortunately, the plane I took yesterday was one of the few that did not have internet available and so I played Angry Birds on my iPad for 2 of the 4 hours instead.

After we arrived in San Diego, we met with some other awesome bloggers – Eleni from Mommy’s Money Saving Obsession, Carlee from At Home Moma, and Enza from Enza’s Bargains. These gals are so great – if you haven’t already checked out their blogs, please do stop by and have a peek around. I know you’ll love them all too!

Last night’s event was The Big Toy Book‘s Sweet Suite event at the Hard Rock Hotel. It was so much fun! I got to play with some awesome new toys that will be hitting the shelves soon and had some super tasty sweets as well! I could have stayed all night! I met with some really fun brands like LeapFrog who introduced me to the LeapPad – it’s like an iPad for your kiddos! My 2 year old is always confiscating my iPad so I was intrigued by the LeapPad’s durability and awesome learning games! I also met with Imperial Toys – keep an eye out for a review coming up in the next couple weeks for “tween girls”! ActiVision introduced me to their new video game, Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure. These super cool and collectible action figures really come to life on the screen! There was so much more too – such an awesome event to be able to attend! I did manage to score some goodies to give away so be on the look out for a post about that.

I am going to grab some breakfast for myself before the little one wakes up – I brought a bag of Three Sisters Graham Crackerz cereal to share with my roomies (Eleni from Mommy’s Money Saving Obsession, my Sister Tammy, and my niece Kyanna) and want to make sure I get at least a bowl of it before it is gone!

I would love it if you would visit my sponsor, Malt-O-Meal Cereal! Without their help I couldn’t have made this trip possible! You can find them by following the links below:

    I think our little guy is going to love that LeapPad. I will have to keep an eye out for hit closer to the holidays!
