I have been working on this presentation for this HGTV for weeks when I realized that I haven’t even told you guys about it and I’d really, really, really like you to come if you can. It’s a one day event called the HGTV magazine Blogger Block Party and it’s going to be VERY fun and hopefully super informative. I love doing speaking engagements because it’s a chance to really talk openly and without the formality of writing or the wonder if the joke is lost (or going to be totally misinterpreted).

Over the last 7 years of blogging/designing, being on TV and now being a mom I’ve just done so much, I’ve made so many mistakes, I’ve learned a lot of them the hard way, and sure, I’ve succeeded at many things and while I would love to impart all of these things to my husband or friends, I think they probably aren’t the audience for it. I feel like I’m boiling over with information that I wish I could tell my former 25 year old self, both career-wise and personally. Sure I’ve written many a-post about them over the years, but expressing them all together in a way that hopefully informs, inspires and entertains an audience right in front of me sounds so very fun (and not nerve racking at all ….)

So, friends, if you are going to be in New York August 22nd, come see me and the many extremely talented ladies (and John) speaking. I’m a fan of every single one of these people – the lineup is solid and I’m very excited to hear what each of them has to say. The best news… It’s a free event and open to the public. People just have to reply online HERE.

Ok back to working on this presentation that was due a week ago. Sorry for the short post today, we are also prepping for a FULL week of reveals next week on the blog (if I can finish them in time!!!).  BIZZY BIZZY BIZZY. xx
