My Peace Out sign for the girls in the back of a cab!
I am back. Back from the weekend trip I have been planning for months. I must say that BlogHer10 in New York City was fabulous, wonderful and all the other great adjectives I cannot remember right now!
Some of the sessions I went to focused on writing, giving advice and loving the little blog. Inspiration was oozing out of everyone there and I feel like I have been to a pep-rally!
Touring New York on the night bus was spectacular. The lights, city noise and smells are always fun. Mom Outnumbered and I caught a John Legend performance in Central Park with Good Morning America at the spur of the moment. The best moments tend to be surprises!
My visit to the Scholastic Headquarters was the highlight of my trip (which is saying something as the whole weekend was amazing). We had breakfast on the top floor, which had more of a restaurant look than an office building look, overlooking Soho. The speakers were very inspirational about getting kids to read. I’ll write more in the future about the new books coming out with Scholastic, but I will say that Mita is already devouring the new Babysitters Club prequel!
As you know Chevy gave us (FireMom, MomOutnumbered, 2princessmama) a brand new Traverse to drive to New York! We had a great time figuring out (and not figuring out) the gadgets in the car and playing with the On-Star.
Having friends and having the fun time we had was such a welcome experience for this stressed-out-mama. I encourage anyone who is tempted to start blog writing to do so! It is an amazing way to meet new people and make new opportunities. My site is hosted by Surpass Hosting and here is a link to find out about a bargain to get you started with blogging.

Chevy provided a Traverse for our drive to and from NYC and one tank of gas. Thanks to all of you for great products and great fun! )
