This morning I went to Business of You: Advanced Social Media, Syndication and Stats and I think it was the best session I’ve been to. It was the only one that I’ve actually grabbed a pen and taken notes. I found it useful not just interesting!  Good job ladies at running a great session. Sitting in the MommyBlogging session sponsored by Johnson and Johnson called Healthcare by Committee.  Wasn’t sure what to expect, but nothing else looked all that intriguing so I decided to see what was going on in here.  Small group of us and seems interesting so far.   … Read entire article »

Last night was another exciting night. I again found a group of my gals – the MomDotters – and we hung out.  I started out trying to go to the Type A Party, but the line was SOO long 15 minutes before the party started that I decided to head upstairs to Mommy Needs a cocktail.  Here we picked up some more swag (yep….it continue to roll in) and then had a glass of wine while we hung out and visited.  Some of the MomDotters scored tickets to the Nikon party and so we met up with them later on and then headed to the Type A Party.  Yep, it was another night of socializing and drinking (and from the tweets I’m reading this morning – this is a morning … Read entire article »

and for sale.  Yep…if you are at Blogher 09 or missing it but want to make sure that you don’t miss it next year – the date and location has  been announced, tickets can be bought, and reservations for the hotel can be made starting next month.  It will be in New York City in August!  I so want to go and make this a family vacation.  New York is somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit.  I’ve got to check the calendar and see if we can possibly save enough as we do have a Disney cruise and trip to Disney World in the works for next summer celebrating Becka’s graduation.  If you’ve ever thought of going to Blogher, I encourage you to do so!  Every woman blogger should at … Read entire article »

Today’s lunch at Blogher was sponsored by Ragu and talk about yummy. It was great!!  I was so full by the end of lunch that I wanted to go sleep in the comfy beds here at the Sheraton instead of attend the afternoon sessions, but I didn’t!  Ragu even shared the recipes for all the stuff they served and provided a coupon for a free jar of Ragu sauce to try one of them out!  Thanks Ragu! There was a great selection to choose from and maybe one of the things I’ve loved the most about this conference – the networking.  You will be sitting by a Rochester personal injury lawyer during one session and stay at home mom’s during the next.  It’s amazing. … Read entire article »

Yes…I’m in Chicago at Blogher!  I’ll be posting the next few reviews life from Chicago!  That makes them special right? I’m currently sitting in the lobby at Blogher…trying to write this post before my battery goes dead (It’s REALLY close!) and just give you a little update. I enjoy people watching and this is a great place to do so….watch virtual friends meet in person, people sitting around on their laptops and PDAs, and the occasional person like me who is still keeping to their self. My roomate will be here soon and I’ll be checking into my hotel (and have a power cord so I’ll have electricity)…after finding something to eat, I’ll try to update on one of my blogs. I read an entire book this morning and on the flight so I’ll … Read entire article »
