I know everyone is waiting on big fat dirt spill from me regarding the Type A Mom conference, but I truly had a wonderful time. It was so much better than BlogHer and Type A Mom may have restored my faith in blog conferences again.
Now that doesn’t mean I wasn’t inspired by things I saw or hear that will bring out some of my more colorful language and opinions in later articles.
You can look forward to me posting this week about:
- Does the sex industry belong in the mom industry
- PR demanding “professionalism” from Bloggers -this may include some not so nice things. I promised Ali from Blissfully Domestic I would go easy on the F word, but I am not sure. I’ll try.
- Do speakers have responsibility to not offend at conferences?
- Contest Traffic- more educational post
- Is TwitterMoms using the blogosphere and mom bloggers? Me Thinks Yes.
Thank you to everyone that tolerated my very obnoxious and busy personality. Thank you also to Extraordinary Mommy (@ExtraordMommy) and Dr Mommy (@DrMommy) for providing some of the pictures of us together. Make sure you visit these ladies fabulous sites and follow them on twitter. They are both amazing women.

You aren’t old enough to be a cougar yet…neither is Kadi. Everytime I hear that expression, I can’t help but think of Saturday Night Live…anyways, I had a great time.
Great post! It was truly a pleasure meeting you at TypeAMom (I was the one rockin’ the blinds.com t-shirt!). As my first blogging conference — I am so glad I decided at the last minute to attend.
I agree with you on the sex industry. I will NOT review any adult products on my blog. Don’t like the association of a professional conference with the sex industry. Period.
If PR companies want professionalism from bloggers, then PR/brands need to pay bloggers to review their products.
Looking forward to your posts!
(blush)
That looks like fun. did you guys have a fashion show, too? Cool! LOL
And how can you and Kadi be cougars? I thought you had to be over 40 for that? I think you are all more in the MILF category. LMAO
Can’t wait for the TwitterMoms article.
What? Not one photo of me??? *sobs*
You know, i dont think we even took one together. How pathetic is that!!
Great pictures! I like the inappropriate ones
shhh, me too, dont tell.
So upset I couldn’t make it (damn my kid for being born on the 26th LOL) I loooove Kadi and Dr. Mommy and I go waaay back. What a great time and I am glad for you and all of you that went that it was better than BlogHer!
It was a great, great conference, the best one I’ve ever attended, and like you said; restored the faith not just to conferences.. but mommy blogging in general as a community that can support each others. Loved seeing you and Kadi, and you guys totally rocked the cougar look LOL
You were a regular sweetheart, Trisha. Really.
One of these days I’m going to hang with you, so fun!
It looks like an amazing time was had by all! I hope to be able to attend next year! Can’t wait to hear all about it!
Glad you had a great time! Looks like you really enjoyed yourself!
Dude…WAY better than BlogHer. Had so much fun with all the ladies
My TypeAMom post is up at WATI.
GOing to head over and read here in a bit!
I don’t think I’ve spent much time with you before this weekend and I was so glad I got to meet you and actually hang out a touch. I’m looking forward to your posts and input!
Looking forward to more time spent with you! And Agreed! Type-A-Mom was a revitalizing mom-con for me. Restoring my faith. Absolutely.
yeah!!! I can’t wait to read your posts! I’ve been going back and forth about attending some conferences next year. After hearing all the BlogHer reports, I have to admit the conference circuit didn’t sound that fun. I am so glad to hear this one was different. I’m excited to see your “take” on things.
xoxo, K
You should attend the smaller ones so you get something out of it. I have been to 2 small and one large and I always walk away w/ the big ones angry.
I am not at all waiting on a big fat dirt spill from you. You looked like you were having a wonderful time and the conference was really great.
Cannot wait to here more!
Yep those were the famous Glow Tini’s and were yummy
This was a great time for conversation, friendship making and extending. So much more than Blogher was able to deliver.
It was awesome of Maria Bailey to get everyone some drinks! Kudos to Maria!
Woohoo, look at all these hotties! God I miss you all so much already I can hardly stand it!!!
i have some great pics of your son. I need to email them to you
You look beautiful! Can’t wait to read your posts!!
One day, we will meet…
My face is green with envy. It looks like you ladies had a fabulous time! Are those the blue drinks Maria Bailey has been talking about for the past couple of weeks?
