I want to work with more bloggers and want to be able to provide them a "button" for the site .... but I don't know how to create one.....I know ... I know...I could buy one...but I am all about being "frugal" and love to trade :) So if you can create one and have a blog or a store that you would like advertised...I will trade you space on my sidebar on this site...I have my logo that I would like used...simply need you to insert the code for me..send me an email if you are interested.<br />

This is what makes it such a cool treasure hunt but also can be frustrating when planning a <i>fiesta! </i><br />

The first thing that went terribly wrong was the date...apparently a HUGE Triple XXX convention was going on at the Miami Convention center this weekend? Who Knew? Well, apparently more people knew about that convention then knew about SheCon!<br />
<br />
The downside - feeling terribly overweight and overdressed as a walked through the entrance to attend my convention....<br />
The upside - the porno convention had an Awesome pink carpet welcoming you to their convention...I felt like a pretty pink princess for a minute :)<br />
<br />
and yes...the whole time I am snapping pictures on my phone and sending them to my husband .... bet he will want to go to the next convention?!<br />
<br />
The downside of the convention - my goodie bag did not have a schedule in it and I couldn't figure out what was going on when because everything seemed pretty empty.<br />
The upside of the convention - I got to really look at some cool products and talk to the reps at each booth....You KNOW I headed straight to the "Liquid Gold" booth....ah.....New England Coffee and Bailey's creamer.....loving it....<br />
<br />
The downside - there were not a lot of vendors in the vendor hall.<br />
The upside - the vendors that were there were quality vendors! American Standard, Wilson, Chevrolet to name a few!<br />
<br />
The upside/upside - <a href="http://www.thebalancingact.com/story/?id=1843">The Balancing Act </a>had a booth at the convention and I love this show! They are all about empowering woman and they helped us spread the word about organ donation a while back when our own little Savvy was the <a href="http://www.thebalancingact.com/story/?id=1843">"star" </a>of the show ... well...our segment ;)<br />
<br />
Overall, I personally had a great time and met fabulous bloggers .... when I returned on Sunday the expo hall was already shut down at 10:30 am....it was not scheduled to open until 11 am.... the lack of bloggers in attendance was clearly something the vendors were not pleased with ... and I can't blame them! It will be interesting to see what happens with this convention next year....well....atleast I know the porn convention is not going anywhere! Who knew one could wear 9 inch heals with amazing balance?!Mamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03025622793129163300noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369406225242039536.post-15766626899618541292011-05-23T12:14:00.000-04:002011-05-23T12:14:13.293-04:00Chili's - Kids Eat Free on May 24th!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://static.zuberance.com/1OlDJ3kzKjMyL2IfCpZKCFoh04H-aNiwD/offerSingle-header.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="89" src="http://static.zuberance.com/1OlDJ3kzKjMyL2IfCpZKCFoh04H-aNiwD/offerSingle-header.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>So I got a coupon notice from Chili's and was told to share with my friends...so I am sharing!<br />

Savvy has been sick for various reasons leading her in and out of the hospital. The most severe being for internally bleeding. Turns out she had varices in her esophagus that bled and required surgery. Her "Gift"...her donor liver and her native veins have not grown up with her and so essentially there was a back flow of blood causing her to bleed internally. <br />
<br />
We flew to Philly so her transplant team could head her treatment and she had the balloon dilation (similar to angioplasty for the heart)...we had complications...they saw a clot, the was bleeding out and required a blood transfusion, and more details that I just don't care to relive...needless to say within hours of her surgery and minutes of a Massive amount of blood leaving my child's body she told the drs she needed a "boo boo sticker" for her "stinky foot"...yup....that is my kid!<br />
<br />
We are home...she is home with the boogies...and let me tell you...I am thrilled to have a sick kid at home simply because it is "normal" sick kid stuff...the yucky aspect is that she is missing out on her swimming at school but the good thing is well....everything!<br />
<br />
I will be returning to my blogging....and actually doing so with a BaNg since I will be attending <a href="http://www.sheblogsconference.com/">SheCon</a> this weekend! I have to tell ya...NEVER did I think when I started blogging that I would be heading to a convention!! <i>Yup...it is local and it is free to attend...you know me ;)</i>Mamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03025622793129163300noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369406225242039536.post-341265034031377382011-05-02T23:56:00.001-04:002011-05-02T23:59:15.872-04:00Savvy is still sick .... {My Ramblings}Savvy has been in and out of the hospital. To make a long story kinda short she started bleeding internally and ended up in the PICU due to varices in her esophagus and then a week later released and ended up back for a hospital stay due to an asthma attack...it all boils down to the fact that she needs a type of surgery. Her new liver and her native vein structure that connects them have not grown with her and she needs to have this repaired.<br />
<br />
We are leaving for Philadelphia early in the morning...just wanted to take a moment to thank each of you that have reached out to us and have kept our Savvy in your hearts!Mamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03025622793129163300noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369406225242039536.post-2125440177878666082011-04-09T00:01:00.008-04:002011-05-24T15:11:04.759-04:00Savvylicious Cake Pops {Giveaway} during BLOGMANIA!<b>Congrats to Gail Simone...Sorry so late in announcing the winner...I have sent you an email.</b><br />

We took Savvy to the ER on Sunday night because we suspected she had blood in her stools. Long story short she has been in intensive care since...she had been bleeding internally. It looks like the beautiful liver she has received and the vein structure of her body have not grown as she has grown (remember she was transplanted at the age of 1) and this has caused a bit of a mess :(<br />
<br />
It has been a surreal time lately in our home but I always have to look at the bright side...it is a kinda annoying aspect of my personality. This evening I am home for the first time since Sunday night. Super Papi is with his girl. Her hemoglobin is stable as of today and she is with us...watching her as she slept and not knowing if she would wake...well...I am just thankful for so much!!!!!<br />
<br />
As not to be all...boohoooing about life because frankly my Warrior Princess will be okay!! I will move on to My blog....I made a promise a few months back that I would participate in Blogmania! I have not promoted it in anyway for as you know well....life has thrown us some curve balls...well...Blogmania starts in a few hours and I have been wanting to do a giveaway with <a href="http://savvyliciousdesigns.com/">Savvylicious Sweets</a>...so I will be posting the Giveaway!! Please forgive me if I don't announce the winner as soon as I should but I thought it would be a fun distraction :)Mamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03025622793129163300noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369406225242039536.post-1272301725534719452011-03-25T13:05:00.003-04:002011-03-25T13:09:56.999-04:00When it Rains...it PoUrS! {My Ramblings}As I have shared Savvy was very sick and hospitalized for a few weeks this past month...things are so much better with her today. She is so looking forward to her "brothers" (cousins) coming down to visit during their Spring Break. We had some ups and downs this past week with believe it or not BOTH of our cars breaking down. My car broke down on Friday and then smoke started coming out of my husband's car on Monday...surreal. We felt pretty lucky though because the weather has been beautiful in Florida which allows my husband to drive his motorcycle to work.....well....then......my husband was in a motorcycle accident. A gentleman cut across three lanes of traffic and never stopped (literally never stopped until witnesses followed the van and had him pull over to wait for the police!)...fortunately a police officer from another county was a few cars behind my husband and was able to make sure he was okay and then met the good samaritans and made the van wait while he called the local police department.<br />
<br />
Super Papi is home recovering ...can't walk or move really even with the pain meds but thankfully Nurse Savvy put some Strawberry Shortcake bandaids on him and he swears that is making him feel better :) So....I KNOW how much I have been slacking on this site...and frankly on my finances because I haven't been able to keep any sense of a routine in our lives...but I do have what money can not buy and that is my family at home with me....although a bit banged up...they are HERE!<br />
<br />
My sister will be helping out with this site. When she visits during Easter I will be showing her how ... well I used to do things...and she is going to help me so hopefully things will get into somewhat of a rhythm soon....<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
This store only accepted Debit cards, Cash or Food Stamps. You have to deposit a quarter to use the shopping carts...the quarter is refunded to you when you return it. If you want a grocery bag you could purchase it for 6 cents otherwise your products went back to your cart or in the bag you brought it...I thought this was so smart....this is a great way to get people to recycle their bags.<br />
<br />
The selection in the store was not a large one. There were very few name brands but the prices were amazing! Milk was $1.99 for a gallon (limit of 10), eggs were 99 cents, the prices were great on {most} things. I still found some items to be a little higher in price but overall the prices were low...heck they had a nice selection of wine for $2.99 ... I can actually afford to get drunk ;) Okay...I am getting carried away now...<br />
<br />
Just wanted to share this wonderful store in case you had not checked it out. Click <a href="http://www.aldifoods.com/us/html/service/store_locator_ENU_HTML.htm?WT.z_src=main">here </a>to see if there is an Aldi's near you...it would be worth your time!Mamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03025622793129163300noreply@blogger.com3
