Let’s use the spirit of Halloween to Help Us Be More Human All Year ‘Round 

on
Mom celebrating the Halloween spirit Halloween is a season of fun, costumes , and candy . Indeed, it has become a favorite of mine. The kids get excited about their costumes, and spending the evening visiting neighbors and receiving candy in response to their declaration of, " Trick or Treat "! All around the country, neighbors open their doors and give candy to anyone who shows up seeking it. Upon reflection, it is a beautiful tradition that embodies the generosity of the human spirit. I was talking to someone yesterday and commented about how much I have grown to enjoy it and wished that it could last for more than one night.

A Peek Into the Life of a Blogger Mom: Preparing for My First Blogging Conference (BlogHer12)

on
Since I enjoy blogging I decided to attend a blogging conference this year. There were so many to choose from. Ultimately I chose the one that I thought would give me the biggest bang for my buck and would be the least disruptive for my family.

Based on that criteria, thanks to my new girl Rachel Blaufeld of http://backngroovemom.com/, I settled on BlogHer12. It had a great agenda. There were workshops about how to market my blog, I prove its look and become a video blogger. Those are all things that I am I interested in. Also, I was able to travel the conference on a direct flight. I vowed not to spend more than one night away from the toddler till she's two and I am keeping that promise. She may not know the difference, but it's important to me.

I was so focused on the conference--what to wear, how to style my hair, who to meet--that I  forgot that even I prepare well, I can't control everything.  However, I was reminded and my family's life was disrupted.

I'm writing this on a plane, which is landing. So, I'm going to have to pause. For now, let's just say that I really appreciated the free drink they gave me on the plane...
