BlogHer Bound!

Wish me luck, everyone! I’m headed to San Diego today for the big BlogHer conference! I gotta tell ya, I’m psyched! I can’t believe one of my blogging goals has finally been reached!

Remember how I was telling you guys that I didn’t have a sponsor? Try try again, as they say. I applied for a partial conference sponsorship courtesy of the fantastic company Invitation Consultants. And I was chosen! I swear this bloggin’ gig just keeps getting better and better!

I would like to thank them for choosing me as a brand ambassador to represent the company at the conference. Please go take a look at their amazing items! I just received a complimentary bag tag to use on my luggage and it is super cute!

I am excited (and a ball of nerves) for so many reasons. I’m calling it the BlogHer trifecta because there are three things I’m excited about.

1. The people

There are too many people I’ll be meeting to list them all here. I have been following some of these ladies’ blogs for years and there are sure to be squeals and tears of joy when I finally meet them face-to-face. I’m expecting a lot of laughter next week. I want to make new friends and new connections. I want to come home with a full heart because I know that I have something in common with others around the world!

2. The parties

A few of the parties that I am stoked for are the Clever Girls “I’m with the Brand” rooftop party and the infamous Sparklecorn. And you bet your bottom blogger that I’ll be at the Voice of the Year reception! I am a Voice of the Year, after all :)

3. The progress

I am ready to make progress. To move forward as a writer. I want to learn. I want to be inspired. I want to come back with fresh ideas for this blog and put them into place. Some for me and some for you. Yes, I’m talking about YOU! The ones who keep coming back to read my words. The ones who care about what I write. I want to make my blog better for you!

I honestly don’t know if I will be able to blog while I’m at the conference. But if you want the deets on what I’m doing please follow @adayinmollywood on twitter. The hashtag for the conference is #blogher11. I will also be updating my facebook page so I’d love it if you would “like” me on facebook. That’s it, folks! I’ve got a few fun posts planned in my absence. I hope to give you the full run-down when I get home. I know this will be an amazing experience.

But I’m gonna miss this little dude like whoa.

Meet our Sponsor {Hop Skip Jump Paper}

I am thrilled to introduce you to a new sponsor of the blog!


Hop Skip Jump Art Prints
is a lovely little etsy shop I found while collecting ideas for Landon’s solar system inspired bedroom. I did a search for “planets” and up popped the cutest print I had seen revolving around his room theme. It was even the perfect color!

I immediately pinned it on pinterest (duh) and then when I posted the plans for his room, Jeanne found my blog through analytics! Isn’t the internet way cool or what?

We struck up an email conversation which lead to me owning the print above (yay!) and Hop Skip Jump becoming a sponsor.

Hop Skip Jump is modern wall art prints for children and adults, featuring nursery, inspirational, playful, zen, and I Love You art.  Jeanne does all her own design and printing. Some of the prints allow you to choose your own colors or wording.

You really must go check out the adorable and unique prints in her shop! Just look at this cute owl print which just happens to be on my “I need it now” list!

We’re glad to have Hop Skip Jump as a sponsor and I am super excited to get that Neptune print up on Landon’s wall. Only one more coat of orange paint ::sigh::

Welcome Jeanne and stay tuned for a giveaway from this new sponsor very soon!

Meet Our Sponsor {9 Designs}

I have another wonderful sponsor to introduce today!

Jenni is a genius at creating a perfectly cute and customized invitation to match your child’s birthday party theme. I trusted her to make Landon’s 1st Birthday invite with the pool party theme. And now she is going to create Brigham’s 1st Birthday invite too (theme to be revealed soon!).

Here are some cute examples but please check out the 9 designs etsy shop to see more!

A description of the shop in her own words:

9 designs was an Etsy shop that I started back in 2009 while designing Carter’s first birthday invitations. I absolutely LOVED planning and designing cards of all occasions, so I figured I’d start to offer my services to others that were interested. Creating custom designs to match party themes is one of my favorite parts of the “job”… I just love the new challenges that it brings.

Though the shop started in 2009, I actually began taking on design projects for my own wedding in 2006, creating my invitations, layered programs, favors, table card numbers… you name it! For a few years following my wedding, I also designed wedding related things for others, but once I had Carter, my time to do those things went out the window. And then 9 designs was born! It’s the perfect way to allow me to be creative and help others at the same time.

She’s helpful and fast at responding! So get to it and order something :)

FYI – Jenni is also an awesome blogger who I have followed for years. Click the button below & check out her personal blog!
