Is it "One in the Same" or "One and the Same"? Personally, I think the latter makes more sense.

goodbye jes

They say all good things must come to an end, and I suppose that’s true in some ways. Next month, a major chapter of my life will wind down to a close as I shut my laptop one last time, breathe a sigh of contentment, and bid my BlogHer co-workers a heartfelt goodbye. Or, I expect I will be breathing a sigh of contentment. It could be a sigh of fear, or apprehension, or incredulousness at my own brazen actions.  Read more >

Conference Corner

Since BlogHer’s inception in 2005, we’ve hosted something we call Birds of a Feather meet-ups at each conference. Essentially, they are small, informal gatherings where you can meet others in your niche, network with new tribe members, build relationships with others who share your passions, and find new-to-you bloggers to read.Birds of a Feather meet-ups are a fantastic way to connect with others who share your same passions and interests, plus meet others on the first day of the conference that you’ll likely see throughout the rest of the event!We thought it would be helpful to provide a bit more detail about how Birds of a Feather meet-ups work:  Read more >

Conference Speakers

Tired of all the same people speaking every year about all the same topics? Don’t recognize most of the speakers lined up for BlogHer Events? We’ll take that as a compliment.For the past several years, BlogHer has committed to a speaking roster of 80% new, fresh voices. That means we seek out bloggers who are demonstrated community leaders, not just the "stars" of blogging. We're interested in women who are forging new paths through the Internet. You may not recognize all the names in our speaking roster, but we guarantee that BlogHer speakers are worth getting to know -- many of them could become your new favorite haunts, the first site you stop by when reading blogs, or even your trusted friends.  Read more >

About Me: 

I’m Jessica, the writer behind Chirky.com. I live in the suburbs of Dallas, Texas with my dashing husband, Roger, and our sweet toddler, Rayah.

Chirky.com is a personal blog, covering everything from our transition into parents, to my love for food and cooking, to our home renovation, to the places we’re traveling, to the products we love.

Things I like include: mixed drinks that don't taste like alcohol (On the Border strawberry margaritas get high marks), tulip festivals, people-watching, sudoku puzzles that are difficult enough that I feel smart but easy enough that I can complete them in less than six-and-one-half minutes, decorating cakes and cupcakes, playing Settlers of Catan (or any board game, for that matter), throwing dinner parties, and the way my husband smells just after he shaves.
