I’ve been thinking for a while about this post. How would I recap my first experience at BlogHer? How would I convey the way I felt about the conference, about the experience, about meeting so many wonderful women?
In the end I thought pictures would say it best.
Amy (AmyinOhio), Myself, Susan (Working Moms Against Guilt), Meghan (AMomTwoBoys) and Kristen (Kribaby) at the Kirtsy/AllTop party at Guy Kawasaki’s gorgeous house (This is one man who knows how to throw a party!).
At the People’s Party Meghan and Amy introduced me to one of my new favorite bloggers – Kendra (Headless Mom). If you had a chance to hang out with Kendra during BlogHer, you know how awesome she is.
At the People’s Party I also had a chance to run in to two of my favorite moms as well as make a new friend. Here I am with BusyMom, Jenn (MommyNeedsCoffee) and Glennia (The Silent I and the Momocrats). Please, Please, Please check out the header of the Momocrats blog. You’ll. Pee. Your. Pants.
The next morning I ran in to Andrew. He was there promoting his photo sharing site, Photrade.com. Andrew is one of my favorite new media man types and reigns from the Cincinnati area just like yours truly.
Ahhh…. Shannon (PhatMommy), my name twin. I ran into her during the speed dating session Friday morning. She rocks. It’s that simple.
Here I am Saturday night having a drink with my girl MerlotMom in the furniture department at Macy’s. We had a blast hunting down wine and champagne together. Girls gotta drink, you know.
Auh, Pauline (OHMommy) from Classy Chaos. If you read her blog you know how funny and awesome she is. In person, she’s ten times as much.
In one of the sessions I ran into my girls Kara and Abbey from MomCentral. We’ve been talking for over a year but have never had the chance to meet in person. I can’t wait to see them both again when BlogHer heads to Boston later this year.
And let us not forget Rocco. While he is not a blogger, I had a chance to meet him during the conference, courtesy of BlogHer and Bertolli pasta. MMMM.
Finally, I cannot forget all of the other awesome women I had the chance to meet in person, sans photo. I cannot wait to see all of you again next year.
