Next weekend I will be in San Diego attending the BlogHer Conference. I will be hanging out with my roommates Kelly and Laurie. This will be my 3rd BlogHer Conference and their first.

Our First Day in New Orleans
April 19, 2011
Last Wednesday morning, I got up at the crack o’ dawn, 3:15am. Tiffany had scheduled our flight to New Orleans at 7:05am in San Diego. I was able to find my way to Tiffany’s house in the dark, and we made it to the airport. I think we were both half asleep as we descended [...]

It all started with BlogHer09′ in Chicago last year, and last weekend was BlogHer10′ in New York City.
