There are so many reasons for my recent (hard to conceal) anxiousness and excitement of attending BlogHer the most sought after blog conference of the year. First, a special thank you is in order to momAgenda, the amazing sponsor who made this trip possible for me. I am honored to be working with momAgenda as I fully endorse this brand. If you haven’t checked out the latest products and updates be sure to do so! There are so many back-to-school must haves for us moms and we all love that back-to-school shopping don’t we? And if you are not following momAgenda on Twitter, do it now. She is one of my favorite tweeps!
So aside from attending the workshops and listening to some of my bloggy idols speak at the conference, here are some other reasons I am thrilled about attending BlogHer:
- To connect, network, and meet the bloggers in real life who I have come to adore. Awesome.
- To carry a cute clutch as I walk out for the evening without worrying that a sippy cup will fall out. Perfect.
- To put on some nice heels and feel good about myself in a brand new outfit without worrying about spit-up or snot plastered all over it. Nice.
- To have some quality adult conversation without being interrupted by two little voices. Wow.
- And most importantly, to be inspired.
So as I venture into New York City over the next few days I will not be posting until I return. I will also not post a Featured TMC Blogger this Friday so we’ll catch up on that next week as well. I have a feeling this experience will be overwhelming and surreal (among many other things) at the same time…
I’m going into this with a full heart and eyes wide open – and what do I look forward to aside from seeing my family when I come home?
Sharing this crazy experience with all of you.
Have fun girly…….. It’s close to home for us this year…HUGS!!! xoxoxo
The ‘Real life meeting opp’ is the best part, i am sure you would bump into many of them who know you through your awsm blogs:)
I hope you have a blast! I wish I could be there to meet you and lots of others, but there’s always next year
Oh, is it that time of year again when I get to be super jealous that I’m all the way over here in the UK. One year I will go! I love New York too.
Well at least I get a trip to Houston and Denver in October. Have a great time, looking forward to hearing all your stories!

I bought those cute heels and wore them last night to break them in. Guess what? They hurt my feet bad. I might have to trade them in for some flip flops.
Jana, I’m so going for the flip flops!!
Jana,
I actually should have added that! I have been tweeting, if you want to find @Theta Mom, then just look for the woman wearing black jcrew flip flops!!
Look forward to meeting you!!
I am so excited for you ! I got a ticket last minute, as in Sunday, and I am not ready but thrilled to be going. I won’t know a sole there but I can’t wait to meet all these amazing bloggers. If there is a Theta Mom community meet-up please let me know, I would love to connect with everyone in real life!
Kathryn,
I wish there was some way to do a TMC meet-up but with the five million events and parties already planned (which many are sponsored) I was overwhelmed with it all myself, let alone trying to add another event to the mix – but that’s a wonderful idea for next year!!
Maybe we could do an impromptu meet-up with some peeps!
So excited to meet you! See you there!
have a great time. You are one of the bloggers I would want to meet if I was going. maybe next year
Seriously cannot wait to meet you!

Can’t wait to get your report back!

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous. Maybe someday I’ll get the opportunity to go to a blog conference!
Have fun…and get inspired!
