Oh Time, You Silly Thing...

 Whew! What busy weeks these have been lately. Babysitting, visiting with family, planning my trip to MommyCon- Austin, dealing with a sick toddler, potty training, and planning a 2 year old's birthday party on a budget... Yeah. One step at a time. Right? Right.

 If you don't know, MommyCon goes to different cities across the U.S.A. every year. This is their second year and BOY have they grown! Take for instance MommyCon- San Francisco. Did you know that Alanis Morissette is going to be the guest speaker there? Alanis-freaking-Morissette!!!!! As much as I love her (fangirling, sorry...) there will be other speakers there giving lectures and demonstrations, such as Jamie Grayson- The Baby Guy showing his prowess with all the baby gear you could ever imagine, and Jamie Lynne Grumet- creator of the blog I Am Not the Babysitter and face of the (in)famous Time magazine cover of her and her youngest son breastfeeding. Now, these are not the ONLY speakers there and I'm sure I'm doing a disservice to them by not listing their names as well but, you get my excitement.


 Also, just a reminder, if you want to go but are strapped for cash, search MommyCon on Facebook. They regularly post giveaways or links to them for free tickets, sponsorships, or discount codes. Speaking of which, I have a code for you, my beautiful reader!! Just type in BRITTSBLOG in the promotion box when purchasing your e-ticket and you're good to go. As awesome as that is, sadly, it's only for General admission. That means no discount on VIP or pre-sale tickets.

 I really can't wait to go. I am SO excited and beyond blessed that I have this opportunity. Not only from the creators/organizers of MommyCon USA but from also my family. Mikah and I will be staying with my uncle and his family in Austin. Which is awesome. I love hanging out with them, but we'll be there for 3 weeks. We leave the day after Mikah's b-day party since my car is unreliable. Oh well. MINI-VACATION!! I just hope I don't forget my camera! I mean, no underwear? No problem! No camera, YIKES! That would be very un-blogger of me... (Un-blogger? Making up words because it's late... don't judge me.)

 Mikah's birthday is coming along nicely. Nothing too big. He loves playing with cars and truck more than anything else, except balloons, so it is a really easy thing to decorate with/for. So far I know we'll have a bouncy house... and cake. My step-mom and I have this idea for his cake that, if it becomes reality, will be freaking SWEET! I don't want to say just yet. I might anger the Birthday Cake Gods and force them to make our cake crumble, or the icing melt, or, Birthday Cake Gods forbid, our cake decorating skills look like a failed Pinterest project! PRAY FOR US!
