I am so excited to go to New York City this year for BlogHer. I can’t believe how quickly it’s approaching. I am finding various ways to make money on the side to send me there, as it’s going to cost a good chunk of change. Being a stay-at-home and a member of a family of five with one income, money is a little tight, to say the least.
Here is the list of items I need to pay for:
Conference Ticket – $200 – PAID
Hotel Room – $189 a night x 3 nights – approximately $650 with taxes
Taxis – $100 (a guess)
Airfaire – $400
Food – $100 (a guess)
So, it looks like I need to raise about $1100 in the next few months – eesh!
Here is my purpose in writing this. If you are a company and would like to sponsor me in going to BlogHer and would like to post your ad on my site, I can give you a quote for my charge to advertisers. If you are a reader and LOVE my blog and would like to donate something to help me go to BlogHer, you can do so through paypal – themommyfiles@gmail.com. If you do make a contribution, please title it BlogHer, so that I can give you a proper shoutout!
Thanks everyone! Here’s to BlogHer 2010!
I hope you can make it there!!!

Good luck!!! 🙂 I’ve heard about BlogHer… but don’t know much about it! You should tell us more about it and why you want to go! 🙂
Good luck Shannon!!
I wish I could help you out! That way, I can live vicariously through you when you get to go 😀
Lol
I would like to help you out, but I am not in the best place to right now… But if you could email me or repost this toward the middle or end of February, I should be able to help out a little!!! 🙂
Shannon, I SO hope you can go! You really deserve to go. I would love to go also, but don’t see it in my future! I would never be able to go alone, and definitely couldn’t afford for both Bill & I to go.
I know that there are lots of companies that will send you, because YOU ROCK!!
I can’t wait to read your review of the conference!

Good luck hun! I live in NY-near Albany-and would love to go as well, but I don’t think I’ll be able to afford it this year. I’m sure you’ll have a blast, though!. So jealous!!:)
I know what you mean about expensive. My family of 4 just came back from NYC but we had to drive all the way from GA and stay with family to make it happen. I’m a SAHM too BTW. And great blog!
