gatsby party

Who knew someone would find a way to combine books and food?  Well, the smart folks at BEA figured out how to do just that! They make cupcakes based on their fave books and then send the cupcakes to me to enjoy (I WISH)! Either way, their videos are cute and fun and prolly very tasty. You might remember I read and reviewed The Great Gatsby a while back for book club. My review is here.  While the book wasn’t {Read More}

#PhillyHomeHer12 Wrap up

Becky & Victoria

So…PhillyHomeHer12 came and went.  BlogHer12 is over as well.  While our minicon (mini conference) was not the overwhelming size and scope of BlogHer, those in attendance had a good time. Towne Book Center & Cafe in Collegeville graciously donated their space and coffee and yummy cookies for our session. This was a unique conference, one in which everyone pitched in and had a stake in the conference.  Some donated items for swag, some shared knowledge and some posted links, etc.  {Read More}

What to Pack for PhillyHomeHer12

If you’re like me, you’re not going to BlogHer and you want to be part of the fun of getting ready for something.  That’s why some friends and I created PhillyHomeHer12.  We live in the Philly area so that’s why we called it PhillyHomeHer but its really for ANYONE who didn’t get the golden ticket to go to BlogHer. It’s HomeHer. But in Philly.  Yours could be called MississippiHomeHer; whatevs. We say, no matter, we will prepare ourselves for PhillyHomeHer12! {Read More}

We’re All Mad Here: Finding the right tea party

07 Alice play ing Croquet with Hedgehog and Flamingo

For me, blogging is like being in Wonderland.  As in Alice in Wonderland.  There are many strange paths to take, interesting people to meet, and odd experiences to try in Blogland. When looking for answers to crucial blogging questions, I suggest one always refer to Alice in Wonderland; there’s an answer for every question. For example, you’re a new blogger and don’t know where to start.  You ask the question: Where do I  begin? Answer: Begin at the beginning and {Read More}

#BEA Recap

PammyPam

Book Expo America was tons and tons of fun.  As I’ve said before, I laid Gotham to waste.  There was so much to see and do during the day that it hardly seemed fair that there were also fun parties to attend at night! If you’ve been following my Tweets or my FB page, you’ll know that I had the PLEASURE of stalking meeting a few of my fave authors. I’ve compiled a collage of some of the authors and {Read More}
