First of all, welcome to Reviewin’ It Up! (For those of you who have been with us from the beginning, do you like the OLD SCHOOL blog theme?) I started this blog just to tell you about the trip I am going on next week to beautiful La Jolla, California. Thanks to the Sony Corporation, I’ll be here with 14 other Mommy Bloggers playing with three of Sony’s newest cameras! And all this - all expenses paid because I have a blog! Is that crazy or WHAT?? Too bad Emily just popped out a kid or she and I would have soooo much fun together! Sorry cousin, I guess I will just have to replace you with a new bloggy BFF. I’ll just pretend one of the other bloggers is you. Maybe one of them will even be named Emily! One can only hope! 
I have to blog about this trip over here at Reviewin’ It Up because of restrictions that come with running BlogHerAds on our Mommin’ It Up. We love BlogHerAds, and we want to play by the rules. So I started this blog to chronicle my trip and to make sure I am able to tell you about the cameras I test out for Sony. Emily and I may or may not use it for future reviews - that remains to be seen!
Anyways, I am so excited to go on this trip!! I am going to miss my kids like crazy, but I really need the break. I am very afraid that Sophie, the extreme mama’s girl, might self-destruct or kill my poor husband. But I just can’t pass this up! California! Fancy Hotel! Spa treatments! Beach! Other Mommy Bloggers! Yes, please!
So, that’s my big secret. I leave on Wednesday the 16th and I’ll be back about midnight Friday night. A whirlwind, but hopefully an amazing experience. I’ll let you all know how it goes! Right now I’m in a panic about packing, what to wear, etc. I haven’t flown in five years so I’ve got to get up on all the new rules for that, too. I’m a big girl now but I feel like a baby…yet Emily assures me I can do this! We shall see!
A trip because you have a blog? I want to start a blog!! (Although I know mine would never be nearly as cool.) That’s awesome!!! I know you’ll have a great time. Don’t sweat flying – it can be a pain in the butt – but you’ll be fine. YEAH for you!!!! XOXO
I’d be happy to go in Emily’s place. I’ll take great notes with happy faces and flowers drawn in the margins, even!
And here I was getting all excited because i get to go out to breakfast without my two-year-old!! That sounds like tons of fun – take some pictures to share!
Oh, La Jolla is BEAUTIFUL!!! You’ll love it. Make sure to go watch the seals…..
that sounds like so much fun……. i am jealous
Oh yeah? I have a blog and I’m going on a trip this month too. A week long Disney cruise and then a week at Walt Disney World!!
Btw, I’m stopping my paper (and coupons) while I’m gone. (gasp)
You will love La Jolla- it is awesome. And yes, the seals are a must…they will probably have little babies right now, which is fun to see!! Too bad you won’t have time to swing down to San Diego- it is one of our favorite places!!
I will pray for the kids…and b.rap..
bring me back a nice HD video unit with a steady cam mount and a cool light rig……..and a big jumbo size Toberlone from the airport. Thanks, dsto
BTW.I don’t have a blog..but I do have a site with original videos…so how do I hook up with a gig like that? Huh?
Seriously..you guys deserve stuff like this.You and Emily have done such an awesome job with your site. Even an idiot Dad like me checks into your froofroo pink laden site way too much for my own good.Congrats
