		<description>Big (((HUGS))). I think as moms we will always think what we could spend that money on than actually do something for us that is fun and beneficial. I call it mommy guilt in my mind, but I think all moms just go through the same thing. Just sit down with hubby and list the pros and cons and see what comes out on top :).</description>

		<description>I would say go. My opinion might be too late, but you should go. You will make a difference, I&#039;m going to nominate you to Oprah, I think everyone should. That would help Bloggers Give.</description>

		<description>I wonder what I would gain from a conference. My blog is just new, getting a few more people each day, but still not over 100. Wondering how long it takes. Only been doing this 4 months, so very new. Attending a conference with successful bloggers might make me feel more of a failure as a blogger. Some bloggers seem to have the golden touch or maybe they just talk a big game. I suspect the latter because I am a cynic...big time cynic.

Trisha---This why I like coming here. You are genuine. You don&#039;t make guarantees on anything. Your spirit and stick-to-itiveness is refreshing. You seem to want to help bloggers big and small. I sent you an e-mail on some problem and you responded. I was shocked.

In contrast, I &quot;friended&quot; a big-time blogger on a mom shopping site as I was instructed by another big-time blogger for a requirement of site membership. Well, the 1st big-time blogger never friended me back. Why bother requiring friending if not friending back? Pointless.

Thanks, Trisha for MomDot!</description>

		<description>I&#039;m about two hours from Houston... wish I were closer so you could stay and cross that expense off.

For what it&#039;s worth, I don&#039;t think this has ever been &quot;a little old mom blog.&quot; I get a ton out of visiting here. I check in here probably ten times a day. Just don&#039;t always have time to comment.

I know others get a bunch from what you have to say and the discussions it starts. And it&#039;s just fun!</description>

		<description>If someone offered me the pass and I was within reasonable driving range (I think it would be about 15 hours for me), I would totally go!</description>

		<description>I know exactly what you mean. I want to go to BlogHer but we really do not have the money. On the other hand maybe if I go I will add something that will add a little more income to my blog. I cannot decide. I probably will not go this year - maybe next year. Maybe I will change my mind. :)</description>

		<description>I wish I had a guestroom to offer you... You could sleep on my couch. :)</description>
