So you may want to grab some popcorn.
If you feel the need to trash my child, my husband, or me personally, you are not welcome into our discussion.
We would appreciate you watching so you can stop listening to false renditions of our own post.

If you haven’t noticed, every week I am bringing you a brand new recipe that includes pork; a hearty and healthy alternative to other meats on your dinner plate during the week.In my house Charlotte can spot a “not chicken” meal like 100 miles away, so the key to getting her to eat other meat, [...]
This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine. If your family is like mine it’s large and sick. Okay seriously, my family really is large by today’s standards (with 4 kids I can get away with anything), and they often only share one thing… germs. That’s why I enjoy sharing things [...]

Obviously, people need something to talk about since summer is dragging on and on… I tend to think it’s everyone’s own personal choice– isn’t that what blogging is about in the first place? When I feel overwhelmed by blogging, it’s my responsibility to reach out to the PR reps I deal with and let them know I need to mellow out for a while. Kind of a no-brainer and certainly not a personal affront or a pox upon the houses of industry or whatever. Geez.
It’s crazy – like the children’s game of ‘Telephone’ almost – with a very snarky edge to it! Great video and you guys are doing a GREAT job over here!! I’m gonna have to figure out where/when this Fri. night thing is – sounds fun!
Great Vlog, Trisha! I was at the FNL when this whole discussion began and what it has turned into is completely absurd. I think you did a great job clearing up the misconceptions.
I’m soo loving the vlog. What a great way to make a point clear. I’m in agreement. I think a lot of the problems really come down to jealousy..
Oh, and I love your vlog’s, everytime I see one…I smile!
I loved this. I love seeing you defend yourself “in person” because obviously words written can be so misconstrued. I think you had great intent and the backlash has been ridiculous. In real life I’ve stuck my neck out unintentionally by innocent, well-meaning suggestions or support or something and been crucified by my peers. It was juvenile. And the result has been me becoming more reserved, cautious, second guessing myself. It’s wrong and I hate it. Anyways – I like that you said your peace.
Another fantastic vlog with the truth. Love the link/PR9. Can only hope that the “media” actually listens to the FNL and watches the vlog before the print another word.
LOL @ “I don’t mind the links; just try to be a page rank 9″
Very cute.
I have been a “mommy blogger” for years but only recently realized that there was such a network of other mommy bloggers. **SHOCK** Who’da thunk it? LOL It was definitely a pleasant surprise, but I’m learning that not even in parenthood do some people actually mature. Eh, *shrug* such is life.
I blogged about the situation *from my understanding, which of course is limited* here: http://senilemomentia.com/?p=2590 if you wanna check it out. In any event… love the way you’re handling the “attention” – definitely shows your character.

great job Trisha!!
Great Vlog!
Trisha,
You crack me up! Great vlog. Some people are just ridiculous and need to create drama of their own.

I wonder if I can embed this in the comments on that blogHer post…..Then they CAN’T miss it!!
And can we use the MomDot Mafia button? I LOVE IT!!
I was there when we talked about the PR Blackout – Trisha is right, what is going around the web and twitter almost has nothing to do with the original intentions of the idea. It is kind of like that game “telephone” – one person thought they heard something and repeated it but changed the original message and it went on and on and on…
Very well said. I know I got burnt out real fast. I am still taking a break from the blogging world. Just blogging here and there.
Very well said Trisha. I hope some people do come and watch and find out the real facts about why the PR Blackout is being held. Too many misconceptions going on, and you explained the truth wonderfully.
had the opportunity to watch….
good to know that PR community is backing up the stressed out Bloggers who are overwhelmed with too many giveaway I do appreciate all that you do and the giveaways everyone runs.
BUT I can see where it does it stressful when you add it to all the other things that we as Moms DO. Enjoy your rest ladies…and I’ll be waiting to read all those Mommy posts
WOW! I was at that FNL and haven’t heard any of this until tonight. Where have I been? I guess I’m bad.
I have been trying to get a blog set up and learn so I can get started with all the PR and stuff so I missed all of the firestorm. I’m with the community and you Trish. It’s awful what was said about you/us.
Great VLOG. Cute cats.
Great vlog Trisha! I’m glad you did this! Hopefully some of the ones that are spreading false words will watch this and realize that they are and have been wrong about the whole thing! I support you 110%!
Great VLOG!! You did a great job explaining all the facts about the PR Blackout and I still stand behind you 100%. And I will be participating in the blackout week!
What a great vlog! I hope things start to simmer down a little now.
Very good Vlog and I’ve been out of the loop because I’m taking time off but someone verbally attacked or insulted someone’s child? Woah. That is way over the line.
