Blogger Trips! PR: Invite these mom bloggers
Seems like lately every time I turn around a new Blogger Retreat trip is hitting my email and there is no way I can take them all…after all, whats a mom blogger without being a mom, right? But I am excited that companies are taking notice and putting together some fabulous information sessions for online bloggers and wanted to help PR out in finding the perfect bloggers for the trip. Our community is full of frugal, fashion, single, family, mom, and specialty bloggers and many of them are looking to make connections and create opportunities with your clients.
Here are some bloggers for you to consider when handing out the invites:

I would love to work with basically any company. Products for kids (such as strollers, child bike trailers, toys, outdoor toys, clothes) cleaning products (vacuums, carpet cleaners, steam mops), beauty products (such as blow dryers, flat irons, etc), computer products, tech products (such as cameras, TV’s, computer programs, etc) and more. I am open to almost anything…pitch me. I love blogging and love working with companies that understand the value of bloggers and social media. I have 5 children (ages 14mo to 18yo) that love to help. I look forward to hearing form you and working with you.

My dream companies to work with would be Diane Von Furstenberg, Roxy/Quiksilver, and Juicy Couture. I would love to see the “behind-the-scenes” of these awesome brands and share with all the mommypreneurs how it all works. Being as I am a young and hip mama, I would enjoy getting to know more about these companies and get a first-hand experience of their working environment. To be able to share with my readers what it is like would be inspiring–chaos and all! Also, a magazine like Glamour Magazine would be amazing to blog about the ins and outs of their daily lives because also, as a freelance writer it would be neat to see the hectic schedules and the activity that goes on.

I love blogging because I think it is the future for advertising and marketing. I love getting to test out new, innovative products and share my experiences with thousands of people. There is no company too big or too small. I have one elementary school aged boy so companies with products for kids are great. My ideal companies to work with would include but not limited to Nickelodeon, Disney, Hershey’s, and Nikon. I’m also a young, hip mom so I like to work with companies geared towards me as well. I’m into beauty, fashion, and electronics. I’m very open-minded and I look forward to hearing from you.
3 Kids and Us Blog – http://3kidsandus.com
I would be thrilled to work a variety of family friendly companies online and in person to fully experience the inner workings of a company from initial development, production, to final marketing. Some companies I would love to see first hand include but certainly aren’t limited to, Disney, Fisher-Price, Graco, Hershey, Kodak, General Mills (specifically, Betty Crocker and Pillsbury), Lego, Barbie, Gerber, Johnson & Johnson, Osh Kosh, Carters, and Apple.
Blessings Abound Mommy- http://akblessingsabound.com
I would be delighted to work and partner with a variety of family oriented companies to learn the ins and outs of their company and become more knowledgeable about their business practices from a first hand perspective and experience. Some companies that first come to mind are Disney, General Mills, Graco, The North Face, and Hallmark, but am open to working with any company that are family and kid related.
Moomette’s Magnificents
http://moomettesmagnificents.com/blog
I’m a Baby Boomer and thrifty Gram from New England ~ I’ve been ‘Around The Block‘ awhile and am familiar with many products, both household and child related. I’ve seen what were the “hottest trendy household and baby products” when my daughters were little in the ’80s, and I know what the “hottest trendy household and baby products” are now that I have my own grandchildren.
Having 2 grandchildren (girl-3, and boy-1) I would entertain partnering and developing a relationship with family-friendly as well as eco-friendly companies specializing in toddler and childrens clothing and toys, such as Old Navy, Baby Gap, Gymboree, The Childrens Place; Fischer Price, Disney, Hershey, Target, Walmart. I’d also be interested in health and beauty for women of any age, including, Bare Escentuals, Revlon and Loreal. Also, any household and electronic products such as Kitchenaid, Maytag, Frigidaire, Oreck, Black and Decker, and am a big fan of QVC. My family is available for reviews and trips to family-friendly museums and theme parks. I’m open to discussing all opportunities and blogging events.
The Divine Miss Mommy
http://www.thedivinemissmommy.com
I like to work with companies who have products that I am passionate about. I am open to reviews and giveaways. I am the mother of three children and am an early adopter when it comes to the majority of products for mothers, fathers and children including anything technology-related. I am also the Beauty & Fashion editor for Type-A Mom so I love to review things related to health, clothing, accessories and beauty.
Companies that I would LOVE to work with:
Disney, Delta Air Lines, General Mills, Graco, Nickelodeon, Nickelodeon Hotel, Johnson & Johnson, Target, Wal-Mart, Step 2, Barbie, Automoblox, iRobot, Dyson, Lego, Toshiba, Epson, Sony, Panasonic, Hershey’s, Hanes, Coca-Cola, Janie & Jack, Ralph Lauren, Coach, Olympus, Casio, Crayola, Sara Lee, Kraft, Hasbro, American Girl, Kate Spade, Joovy, Betty Crocker, Gap, Gymboree, Kitchen Aid, Maytag, Frigidaire, Oreck, Apple, Palm, Samsung, Six Flags, Busch Gardens, Seaworld, Universal Studios, Bugaboo, Canon, Pillsbury, Coleman, Aerobed, TBS, TNT, A&E, TLC, Pixar, Reader’s Digest
Saving My Cents
http://www.momsavingcents.com
I love saving money and finding great deals and I love to find ways for people to save money when they least expect it. Whether working with a great department store that is known for high end merchandise and showing people that by shopping carefully, looking for sales, knowing what products are worth spending the extra money on you can still find great bargains and deals on name brand merchandise or working with a great company like Kelloggs, General Mills, Sara Lee, Kraft and any of the food manufacturers or even directly with stores like Walmart, Publix, Winn Dixie to let people know that with the right shopping tips you can afford some of the best foods out there and with easy cooking plans you can make those foods last for more than one meal (and with variety too!).
I also would love to work with companies that provide family friendly fun at family friendly prices (Disney, Nick Hotel, Holiday Inn, Milton Bradley, Loews/Regal Cinemas, sporting good companies such as Spalding, Rawlings, professional sport teams that offer family days and any companies that encourage families to enjoy time together or get out and have fun). As a stay at home mom to a 6 & 4 year old in a one income household, I am used to the kids wanting to go to try out the newest ride at an amusement park (thanks to living in Florida, an amusement park mecca!) to wanting the latest video games. I also know that as a stay at home mom living on one income that my husband provides for us, it is not easy to give my kids most everything they want, but it is possible. From hotels with great rates, like kids eat and stay free, to the local arcade down the block from me that offers weekly deals for a family living on a budget, I would love to explore budget friendly options so today’s typical family trying to get by does not have to give up quality time together or a little enjoyment in life simply because they think they can’t afford it when they easily can with the right planning and research.

http://www.doublebugs.com
I would love to see the companies that I work with big and small and see the behind the scenes. I think it is one thing to review their products but it is another to see how ideas come to fruition. Some companies that come to mind are, Disney, General Mills, Pillsbury, Graco, Hallmark,Hershey, Betty Crocker, Toshiba. This would be a real treat and also an opportunity to meet people and give and receive valuable input.

3girlzmama@gmail.com
I am a mature Mom of 3girls – 2 adopted and multicultural daughters and one homegrown, ages 2, 6, and 7. They and my hubby round out my Review Team. As such, I have somewhat unique perspective on a variety of topics and would be delighted to work and partner with a variety of family oriented companies. Learning more about individual companies helps me gain a first hand perspective and knowledge that I can then share with the many people I am constantly in contact with.
Some companies that come immediately to mind are brands such as General Mills, Johnson&Johnson, Graco, Nintendo, Crayola, Dell, Little Debbie, Kodak, Kraft, Disney, Southwest Airlines, American Girl, Mattel and The Children’s Place, but am open to working with any company that are family and kid related.
I’m open to discussing all opportunities and blogging events. I am open to almost anything…pitch me. I love blogging and love working with companies that understand the value of working with bloggers and social media. I look forward to hearing from you and working together. Thanks for your time.

I am a 30-something Mom who also works in the professional world as a lab technician. My reviews are conducted like mini-experiments because I have always had an inquisitive mind. I would love to satisfy my curiosity by being able to learn more about how various corporations operate in order to bring to market family friendly products. Companies of interest would include (but are not limited to): Disney, Hasbro, Step 2, Kodak, Graco, Hallmark, General Mills, Tyson, Leapfrog and Panasonic.

Social marketing has taken on great avenues and is ever changing-something I am glad to be a part of. The mother of two little girls, I take pride learning about the products we are using in our household. A college student, I am in learning mode and love being adaptable to new experiences for our family. I hope to instill creativity and diversity throughout life for my children and love watching their minds grow.

I am an outgoing mom of 2 little boys who constantly keep me on my toes. I love blogging and find it as an outlet to write. I would love to work with any company who is mom, child or family related.
http://www.potamusprefers.com/
My name is Shannon. I am a SAHM mom of two boys ages two and under. I enjoy writing, taking photographs, spending time with my husband, two boys and two dogs and learning new things. My boys were born 366 days apart and are my greatest blessings. I love to try new things for my family and share my experiences with my readers. I would love to participate in any campaigns that are family friendly and work with any company that would like me to help promote them. I particularly am interested in children’s clothing lines, safe and inventive toys (show me something I haven’t seen before) and safety products.
In case you’re wondering, I have been invited to Hershey’s, Hallmark, General Mills, TJ Maxx/Marshalls, and iRobot. I have been grateful for all invites even if I haven’t been able to attend every one of them.
I would be specifically interested in working with General Motors, Hewlett Packard (HP), Barbie, and Lexus.

I’m a mother to quadruplets, who are 2 1/2 years old. I think I could offer great insight for a variety of companies that would be interested in building a relationship with our blog community. At http://www.4tunate.net you’ll find a family of followers. My creativity, valuable input and experiences would be a great asset to your brands. Thank you for your consideration.
You can find more about our family here:

A retreat? What’s that. LOL We thought that in about 2 years we would have all of our five children raised and out on their own THEN we could relax and travel and retreat…(our youngest was 17) THEN…well, we were blessed with our sixth child! We now have a little boy that has older nieces and nephews!
I share all things domestic in my blog. How I’m dealing with being a mom to a newborn after all these years, tried and true tips, recipes and all things family.
I am enjoying your blog.
My name is Shanda and I am the owner and editor of PWS. I would be delighted to work and partner with a variety of family oriented companies to learn more about their company and become more knowledgeable to utilize their products in a positive way. Our family uses a ton of great products since we have 3 children. Graco, Chicco, Nestle, Johnson and Johnson, Pampers and Hallmark are just some of them that we love. We love working with companies that are honest and are looking for real honest feedback on their products. We love to tell our readers/subscribers about the fabulous products out there. Some of the companies we currently work with over and over again is Nintendo, EA Sports, Disney, Chicco, Frito-Lay and Flip. We welcome any company that wants to network/parnter with us.
Thanks Shanda
I’d love the opportunity to go on one of these events and have actually been surprised that I’ve never been contacted. I have a large readership (500 range) have been around for awhile and write about a variety of things. What does it take to get noticed by these PR people???
As a military wife and mother of two boys you’d think I’d have the traveling thing down pact? But I don’t so the more practice I get the better!
Hi, I’m Nicole, I can be found at http://www.prettypinkchandelier.com. I blog daily about all sorts of things and would love the opportunity to work with PR and companies.
I would love to go to this retreat! Thank you for doing this! What a great opportunity to connect with fellow bloggers and PR companies. I would definitely love to review organic products and household appliances!
I am new to this area but holy crap there are a lot of us (mommy bloggers) out there! I am blogging just as an outlet but if there is ever one in Ohio and there is wine involved- let me know!
Ok I hope I do this right.
Thanks Trisha.

Some companies I’d love to work with:
Step2, OneStepAhead, Kodak, ToysRus, Red Wagons, FLOR, Apple, Fisher Price, Bare Escentuals, Walmart, Leapfrog and Crayola.
I would love to be exposed to other opportunities in blogging and not just reviews and giveaways.
Thanks for the opportunity.
I guess I need to post the information on the other form at forum?
I would absolutely love to go on a trip!
I would love to go to a bloggy retreat-what fun!! :0)
I’d give my right arm to go on a bloggy retreat!
Okay, I wouldn’t really give my right arm — I need both arms to wrangle my children.
