BlogHer ’11- Here I Am!

August 4, 2011 By Lena

Hey Fabulous Readers!

I’m writing this post on Thursday morning, somewhere over Wichita, Kansas. My final destination? San Diego, California. Yes, I’m headed to BlogHer ’11!

As the last week has been somewhat of a whirlwind, I haven’t had the chance to sit down and let y’all know about my excellent adventure ahead. Well, 5 hours on a plane gives a gal a lot of time to blog!

It all started about two weeks ago, when I was contacted by Ford Canada and asked if I’d like to attend the biggest blogger conference in the world – as their guest.

Gee, would I like to decant champagne into my water bottle? Of course!

So between wrapping up my Summer Beauty & Fashion Guide, making the necessary travel arrangements and mentally preparing myself for the conference, I’ve been *slightly* less than organized.

(Read: one hot mess.)

But it’s all good! I made it! I’m on my way! And with any luck, my luggage will make it too!

Tonight I’m donning my LBD for the incredibly swank Mom Central Canadian Embassy Party, and after that, it’s two days filled with meeting, mingling and much too much partying.

On Sunday, I’ll be test driving some of Ford’s best selling vehicles at the Ford Family Picnic. Think I can convince them to do a review and giveaway?

Until then, you may see sporadic posts, based solely upon my level of sobriety/ insomnia/ availability/ etc. But for the most part, I’ve decided to take a bloggy break until I return next week.

Hope y’all have a truly awesome weekend, and we’ll chat soon! Hugs!
