I’m back from BlogHer!
So, BlogHer. TONS of free products, ripe for the reviewin’. One of the sponsors on Saturday was Curves, and they were giving away Curves cereal bars- um, yuck. The first ingredient listed is Chicory Root, which is why they can splash FIVE GRAMS OF FIBER! all over the label. But it also makes it taste like ass, so that’s not a plus.
I have a lot going on right now so I apologize that I won’t be writing a longer post. I just wanted to check in, say hey, and let you know that I am still here! I’ve got great book reviews coming up, and I’ll be taking a closer look at some of the blogging tools I learned about at BlogHer. New search engines, new organizational tools, new websites. Lots of great stuff for when I have fully recovered from the experience. I know from my stats that a lot of people have been stopping by even while I was gone, and THANK YOU. I love this product review community we have here, you all mean a great deal to me.
Oh, I’ll leave you with a photo! Guess who I met at BlogHer? Chloe from Project Runway! Tiny, fabulous, and so sweet! She had a project set up that was a no-sew t-shirt. We just cut off the sleeves, cut a strip off the bottom, then cut slits in the back and threaded through either the t-shirt strip or a coordinating ribbon. I still can’t believe I crafted something and didn’t hurt myself or anyone else in the process! ;p
Here’s me and Chloe-
And me proudly showing off my t-shirt! There may have been a Pina Colada or two consumed before I took this photo, which is why I am grinning like a fool. Plus, I crafted!-
What about you? Tell me what you have been up to! Have you reviewed anything cool? Have any cool contests or giveaways to share? Let’s hear all about it!

I wanted to go, but headed to Colorado instead. Looks like it was fun!

Mimi- Which book is it? The “I was a good Mom before I had kids” book? I haven’t had a chance to read any of them yet. I’m just finishing up “The Memory Keepers Daughter” that you sent me-I like it!
