Everyday Celebrating

Do YOU blog?

Do YOU blog?  I mean, I know you come HERE and visit but do YOU have your OWN blog?

Have you ever considered blog conferences?

Probably one of the largest you may have heard about is BlogHer and I just wanted to pass along that through the end of August... like WEDNESDAY... if you use the code "Augustholiday" you can get 20% off any BlogHer ticket.  That's almost $40 off the early bird rate!

If you're planning on going to BlogHer 2012 in NYC next year, it's a great time to get your ticket!  Or... to pitch to a sponsor to get your ticket.

What OTHER blog conferences do you love?   Come join our conversation over at the Ebates Savvy Living Community on Blog Frog and share!  We talk about LOTS of things... school.. parenting... tech... social media... fashion... packing lunches... it's lots of fun!  Stop by!

Join me! We're talking Back to School!

Join me TONIGHT, Tuesday, August 16, for a wonderful LIVE chat on The Blog Frog!

We'll be chatting about BACK TO SCHOOL and all the good and bad that goes with it.

Lunches, schedules, waking up early, homework, school supplies, clothes, etc.  And what about your feelings about the school year starting?  Were you happy to get back into a schedule?

Join us for a one hour chat about Back to School.  9pm EST on August 16.  Take a break for YOU and share the good, bad and the ugly of back to school with other women that GET IT.

Join me for a TWITTER party with SmileBooks

In my last post, I told you about how I spent a few days in July with some wonderful women at an event we called the SmileBooks #METREAT!  

For the METREAT, we forced ourselves to make time for girlfriends.  We left our everyday lives behind - spouses, kids, work... everything!  We spent a few days tuning in and reconnecting with friends that sometimes end up on the back burner, unfortunately.  

We had amazing conversations about things like motherhood, politics, education, relationships, life, goals, what the future holds (or doesn't).  It was so relaxing to spend time sitting on the beach doing absolutely nothing but watching the water and talking about anything and everything.

Now that we're back, it's time to savor the memories!  One of the best ways to capture our trip is through creating a photo book from SmileBooks!  And while I didn't take a massive amount of photos like I normally do, mainly because a great deal of the time was spent in water, the photos I did take, are fabulous and really remind me of funny moments like this one....

Ya know those photos that don't mean anything to anyone else but who was THERE?  THOSE are the perfect photos for SmileBooks!  Books that you create and give to your girlfriends as momentos that, flipping through them, will instantly bring a smile.

So in celebration of those kinds of memories, come join me for a Twitter party on THURSDAY, August 4 at 8pm EST.  Use the hash #METREAT.  We'll be talking about girlfriends, special occasions, memories and... how to create photo books!   

Staff from SmileBooks will be on hand to answer any of your questions about creating books as well as giving away prizes and discounts on books.

Can't wait to get started?  SmileBooks is offering a 40% discount on all photo books using the code METREAT40   Go ahead and get started on your book and by Thursday, if you join our Twitter party, you'll be ready to talk books or ask questions.

Join us for a fun filled hour of chat about creating special occasions about of everyday life!
