Accustomed Chaos is Heading To NYC & BlogHer
July 23, 2010
In just under 2 weeks I will be arriving to NYC for the first time. I have heard it is one of the places to go, my husband has been, my parents and sister and now, it is my turn. I am not just going for the pure fun and joy of it – actually I would not be going at all if a few things didn’t come into play for me.
BlogHer – one of
the largest conferences for women in blogging & social media is in New York City this year. Tickets were sold out forever ago and I had just left it at that – I would plan and save to go next year and sit back in jealousy as I read all the tweets & blog post about the amazing time all my friends were having there. I had entered a few contest to try to win a ticket to BlogHer but as the contests ended and I did not win I was okay with that and moved on.
Then the most amazing thing happened. It was my anniversary morning (July 10th) and I was checking my email when someone left a comment on my site saying congrats for winning a ticket to BlogHer. I thought for sure she had me mixed up with someone else but decided to check on it. Opened up twitter & had all these messages to me
congratulating on winning. Turns out the contest I entered at
Mamavation had been re-opened and I was selected as the winner of 1 full ticket to BlogHer and had 2 hours to reply back!
Then I got started right away on all the plans I had to make! Thankfully everything has been coming together so quickly & easily for me and that puts me at so much ease. Passport was the first thing that I had to take care of – then came the business cards and hotel, travel and money.
I am so thrilled to announce my sponsor for BlogHer. The amazing company I will be representing is one that I FULLY stand behind and they have also been a huge supporter of myself and Accustomed Chaos.
Kinnikinnick Foods mission statement is to provide Celiacs, people with Autism and other people with special dietary requirements with an uncontaminated, risk free source of food products. I honestly stand by the company and their food is a huge part of our daily life and I am so excited to represent them.
So, with BlogHer now less then 2 weeks away – I am trying to prepare myself and my kids for my absence. I entertained the idea of bringing all of them or just Baby E with me but have decided against that. It will be my first time away from her since she was born and the first time we will have to sleep with out each other at night {since we are still co sleeping}. I have an amazing family and I know she will be just fine without me for a few days – I just have to get over my anxieties about it.
If you are going to be in New York on August 6th & 7th and would like to get together – send me an email [accustomedchaos at gmail.com] and we will make plans!
