I'm sure you've heard that there's a little blogging conference going on right now, maybe you have... maybe you haven't: BlogHer 2010 in New York City.
A group of tweeps decided that just because we weren't in New York City we couldn't be just as fabulous as the rest of them.
So we decided that we would hold our own little blogging conference.
Enter #HomeHer10.
And what is a blogging conference without swag?
Busted Knuckle Photography, who's fabulous tag line is "Putting the Ordinary in Extraordinary" has graciously donated a print of their art to one winner.
And it's so easy to win. All you need to do is leave me a comment on which "session" at HomeHer 2010 you loved the most (get as creative as you can because I'm going to hand pick the winner based on who can make me spit out my Coke furthest).
Giveaway ends on August 7, 2010 at midnight EST.

Early this morning we had a session of, "THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T PUT DESTIN IN YOUR HAIR, AND NOW I CANT GET IT OUT & YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WALK AROUND ALL DAY WITH STICKY, GREASY WHITE HAIR SO I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY". It was educational...for everyone involved. Tonight we're having a session of, "How the hell am I going to explain to my husband why my 2 year old has sticky, white hair". That too, should be educational.
My personal favourite was "How to Successfully Ignore Your Family without Getting Busted" (aka "Vacuuming" as Your Personal Bubble 101).
The session I had the pleasure of attending was the "How to get vomit out of the bedspread at 3am when you feed a child gummy bears right before bed!"
I know I know..but it happened...never again.
I attended the "How to explain to 1 yr. old that we do not wake up at 5:30am" session. AT 5:30 AM. Followed by the "Breakfast With Toddler" Session at 7am, then a "breakout" session (My escape to the gym while toddler was in gym child care.) at 9:30. We followed the breakout session with "How to Navigate Target with Hungry Toddler in Tow" at 11am. Then "Keeping Toddler Awake in the Car so That He Doesn't Fall Asleep Hungry and Not Take Afternoon Nap" at noon. Then there was a group lunch. Two attended. Followed by a "rest" period. Now I'm attending the "Children Will Wreck Your House While You Surf The Web" training session.
My favorite seminar was "Look like a homeless person by riding with the top down and letting your hair whip around", followed by a discussion of "Go back to work and try to explain the new look". It was great.
I think my favorite was the "Adult bonding" at the "Sponge Bob session" it could have been better if there were adults present.
My most prized session o' the day was How to Cut Out of Work Early and Nap on the Couch While Your 17 Month Old is Still at Daycare. However, I am mostly looking forward to the parties tonight, sponsored by Bud Light Chelada, and *maybe* Convenience Store Nachos.
My favorite session thus far has been "How to chase the two year old around the aquatic center while trying to catch glimpses of the 5 year olds swimming lesson"
I'm thinking the best session, so far was "10 ways to spill milk all over the sofa, coffee table, floor pillows in the family room" Some of those ways being bouncing on an exercise ball while drinking milk, using an avalanche pole as a lightsaber, dancing like dad while drinking milk. Oy Vey.
I just attended the "How to properly smack your palm on your forehead when your teenagers drive to Taco Bell in their pajamas" session. If I had arrived early enough, it might have been cancelled, but alas I had to endure the whole session.
Our first session of the day was: "Quiet: How to not yell in front of your sleeping brother's door, waking him up early and turning him into an evil, screaming mess for the day." It did not go well. Our session on "Pool Water: Not For Drinking" was far more successful thanks to a guest speaker who informed the crowd that he had peed in the pool.
My favorite has been, "How to get away with not wearing a bra or having a panic attack at being in a crowd of 10,000 people who expect you to be witty"
Oh that's easy, my favorite session was the "Mommy, I'm done pooping and it's messy, can you wipe me" session. Good times!
Best session had to be "How to attend a technology meeting at work, look like you're listening while secretly sexting your significant other and not get caught" My DH was the keynote speaker, but he was late cause he was in this meeting and lost track of time :P
I attended "The Front Porch,the guest was a Book entitled the Gardian By Nicholas Sparks, loaned to me by my sister who says "just zone out for a bit"... I thought it would be a dud and a great way to get in some FB time on the laptop. I read the book, the kids spend some quality time playing online math games inside the house. It was too short.
The session I found the most helpful was "how to ignore all the #blogher10 tweets" and the training session for "How to clean up poop from a blow out diaper without getiing it on yourself, the dog and the floor"
Why lunch at a hibachi steakhouse is not a good idea with 6 kids under six. My favorite breakout session.

We had a good time at the "eat popsicles on the swingset" session. It's good to be home!
I'm going to have to say, that,"OMG, I see you JUST put food to cook but I have to tell you just how starving I am! REALLY! YOU NEVER FEED ME! DONT YOU SEE ME WASTING AWAY!? Wait, what do you mean snack? That was nothing!" had to have been my favorite HomeHer2010 moment.
I was really sad that I missed the "How to keep your potty trained child from crying because they're sick and didn't just puke all over you but also crapped on you, the chair you're sitting in while they feverishly slept in your lap, and the carpet as they tried to run to the bathroom." session. I really needed that one. Apparently gagging and running around in nothing but a pair of panties while you try to clean up them, yourself, the chair and the floor was the wrong way to handle it.
My favorite session was either "How to do home haircuts on 20 month old twins without feeling like you rolled in insulation afterward" or "Minimizing the toddler lunch mess; why did you rehome the dog?"
DH is the keynote speaker for the "how to put your toddler to sleep by feeding him a red crayon" session. I assume that means I'm moderating the "cleaning up after the red crayon nap" session this afternoon.
Don't forget the mini session on How to Prevent your kid from eating the cheerios you put in the toilet for potty training target practice!
I liked the "How to explain to your 7 year old that mommy needs to be on the internet for 16 hours a day but she is only allowed 16 minutes on webkinz."
