Say what? Yes, I got my bra. On June 12 – 13th, Supermodel Veronica Webb and the Skinny Cow invaded Chicago.

Logitech Wireless Desktop MK710 Review + Giveaway from UNEEDIT.com
The wireless keyboard and mouse that I had been using with my desktop computer was several years old. It still works, but not as well as it should. It had come to the point that I needed to reposition the large desktop receiver to be very close to the keyboard ...

I’m Certainly No Event Journalist
I always clap silently in awe at those that can run from an event and get a in depth recap up within 2 days time complete with edited photos. WOW! I wish that I could do that. But when I leave a big event like BlogHer, AMD, or similar, I am brain dead for several… Continue Reading
Planes, Trains, and Buses
No, this is not a recap post. Well, not exactly. It’s more a recap on how this little girl that used to not like to travel, has turned into a traveling fool. As you all know, at the beginning of August I went to BlogHer in New York. The very next week I played tourist… Continue Reading
Fun at BlogHer 10: Run DMC made a comeback???
I loved touring New York. It was even more fun than touring Chicago. The people watching was stellar. Here are a couple of my favorite shots.

Tea at the Oprah Store
About 2 weeks ago I was invited to have tea with Oprah. Ok.. well not really, she was not there, but I did have tea with a bunch of awesome mommy bloggers, and the wonderful staff The Oprah Store. I have actually tried to get on Oprah’s show as a guest twice. The first time… Continue Reading

A couple of weeks ago I hung out in downtown Chicago with a bunch of awesome mommy bloggers, the Mominatrix, and Kenmore. I had no idea the the Kenmore Live Studio even existed, but I am so glad that I know now! We had good food, good drinks, and a lot of fun. We had… Continue Reading
