I’m so pumped! Next week is the big BlogHer 12 conference in Manhattan. It’s my first officia blogging conference, so I have no idea what to expect. I’m guessing it’ll be kind of like a comic book convention only with less costumes and better smells. I got myself some spiffy business cards for the occasion. Since I don’t have a real logo on Mommy’s Busy… Go Ask Daddy, I thought I’d try to have a …
I’ve spent my entire life in New York. Not in the crazy crowded city of Manhattan itself, but in the suburbs.
