The Entire Bathroom Blogfest 09 Lineup

Bathroom Blogfest 09What a Kaboom! of a Bathroom Blogfest 09 it has been!

We had fun on the Bathroom Blogfest Facebook Fan Page.

We were also active on Twitter. Here is the transcript for the #ladiesrooms09 conversation that took place from October 23 through November 1, 2009 from What The Hashtag. Here, too, is the Twazzup page with our search terms.

Thank you to our sponsor, Kaboom. We appreciate that they put together a special Bathroom Blogfest promotion featuring a cleaning system to keep your bathroom looking [and smelling] very clean!
