Swiffer SocialLuxe Lounge & BlogHer ’09

What a WEEK. I think I’ve slept an average of 3 hours a night for the last four nights. But it’s been worth every lost wink of sleep!

The Swiffer SocialLuxe Lounge was unbelievably fabulous. This Week for Dinner WON the Tastiest BlogLuxe Award, along with the oh-so-lovely Pioneer Woman Cooks, whom I had the chance to meet & spend a little time with last nigt! Thanks to all of YOU for getting me into the Top Five…and to the VIP judges for selecting my blog as a winner!

Oh, and Ciaran Blumenfeld and I appeared on CBS 2 Chicago this morning! Roseanne Tellez interviewed us for a segment on mom bloggers.  Here’s the link!

More to share, of course, but I’m going to bed. Finally. But first, BIG THANKS to Swiffer, Kodak (who gave away the ZI6 HD pocket video camera in all of our swag bags!!) and all of our amazing sponsors! We could not have pulled off the party without their support.

And love and hugs to my co-hostesses for SocialLuxe Lounge – Allison Czarnecki, Marie LeBaron, Jennifer Sbranti, Beth Feldman and Ciaran Blumenfeld. It was truly an amazing group of women to work with.

    Jane,

    I am SO excited for you! Way to go! As I was watching that video clip, I just kept thinking of when we were sitting in student housing talking and you said you wanted to start this blog and that one day it would be amazing. I had no doubt and now everyone else knows too! You are fabulous friend!

    Congrats Jane! It was nice meeting you for that brief moment up on stage. (I was the tj maxx makeover in the white scarf and sunglasses. The sunglasses I forgot to take the sticker off of ;).

    I didn’t get a chance to say it up there as it was loud and not the right time but your blog is gorgeous!
