You have probably noticed a few posts about BlogHer on the site over the last week.
One of the things most “known” about BlogHer is the amount of swag (aka…free stuff) that you can take home from the conference. In fact, there are some people that take getting swag to a whole new level at BlogHer.

The best part of going back to school this year is that it is my last year of school. 🙂 I’ll be a college graduate this time next year.
The smiles the kids have when they see all their friends again!
Best part is watching my little one grow.
The house isn’t as trashed by the time I get home if no one’s been living in it all day…isn’t that pathetic? Maybe I should go with DD gets to see her friends again?
You already send me e-mail.
Oh, maybe my favorite part of this year’s back-to-school is that DH has been excited to go back to work. He’s been off for 5 years.
best part of going back to school for me this year is I will have only 1 kid left at home. The kids are ready to go back, I’m ready and I will have a little more peace around the house 🙂
