I have an announcement to make!

I’ve decided to attend BlogHer 2012!  This will be my first ever blogger conference and I’m excited to learn from some of the best bloggers out there.  BlogHer 2012 will take place August 2-4 (I will be attending August 3-4) in New York City.  I will be actively seeking sponsors who would like to help me make my way there.  In return for your sponsorship I will be actively representing and promoting your brand throughout my time at the conference and during the months leading up to the conference.

For any unfamiliar with BlogHer, here is a little info:

About BlogHer

• increased traffic
• better blogging skills
• better business skills
• greater community

Why Sponsor Me?

I think of myself as an educated woman.  I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Marriage, Family, and Human Development.  I have held many leadership positions in various auxiliaries in my church.  I have traveled to various parts of the world and have experienced many cultures.  I grew up as the 2nd child and oldest sister in a family of 12 children. I am currently raising two little ones of my own.  All of these things have given me the knowledge, scope, and character to be an example to others.  Those traits shine through in the articles and reviews I write here on my blog.

What a better way to have your company promoted than to sponsor me at this wonderful event! It is a great way to get the word out about your products or company! While at BlogHer I will be interacting with thousands of other women like myself.  These are the people that will be the ones to use your products and spread the word about them! Plus, all of my readers will get to hear about you as well!
