What the heck am I talking about??? That’s a good question. I’m actually a little confused myself. Being in the mom blog world of course I’m interested in getting to know other mom bloggers, (most of my mommy friends have no clue about mom blogs other than mine,) and of course learn more about how I can do a better job to satisfy my readers.
Along those lines, I’ve been looking at Mom Blogger Conferences, I checked out Blog-Her and would have loved to have gone but Baby C was too little (in my opinon) so I scrapped that and looked around a bit. After checking out several different options, keeping in mind that Baby C is still exclusively nursing…not wanting to take a bottle, I thought Type-A Mom Conference may be a good option for me. It’s about 2 hours from home and near Biltmore, which the family and I have been interested in visiting anyway.
So now….I’m in a quandary, I’d really like to go to the Type-A mom Conference but me being the worrywart that I am so many, “what if’s” are popping in my head. I’m actually not going to type them all out because I think that would just perpetuate my worrying which is not productive for anyone. Hubby would be going with me and watching the girls while I’m at sessions and in between sessions and during breaks I’ll be with them either nursing Baby C or hanging out. He’s such a great hubby! He actually was one of the people encouraging me to attend.
So we’ll see what I end up doing, but I’m more than likely attending. I’ll be the nerdy newbie in the corner. I’m actually pretty outgoing but just the thought of being in a room of accomplished mom bloggers for some reason freaks me out a little. The hotel block is gone, but I’m hoping to work something out so I can still stay in the same hotel at a reasonable rate and hopefully get my business cards printed up and shipped to me in time too. Did I mention I have still not “officially” registered…again my nerdy apprehension overtakes me.
If you are attending Type-A Mom Conference I’d love to hear from you, feel free to leave me a comment, I’d love to hook up with some great mommas!
I think you should just jump in and let the “what if’s” take care of themselves. They always do, you know! You’d have a ball, and it would help you grow your blog. Just jump! He who hesitates is lost.
(Then again…look before you leap. I never know which platitude is appropriate! Stupid platitudes.)
Yeah I’m leaning towards yes, hoping I can get a good price for a hotel though. Thanks for the pat on the back Cindy.
I would love to try out a blogger event, I never have anyone to watch the kiddies, so I will likely never get to go to onee, but I would love to hear all about how it went for you!
Hubby’s planning on going, otherwise I’d have no one to watch the girls either. Maybe as your kids get older you could come out. Are you in the Charlotte area?
Hope you decide to come. It’s a great conference! I’m going with a group of mommy bloggers this year, but last year I brought my family. We all had a blast. The kids loved the Kids Con. Hubs enjoyed the days taking the toddler around Asheville. Please come!
Thanks Mary, I’m almost 100% sure, I just want to make sure everything else is in place, and now that Baby C is taking a bottle a little more it makes me feel more at ease about not having her with me the whole time.
I hope to meet up with you!!
I just commented on your other post, so I won’t repeat it all- but I hope you go! Would love to meet you- and maybe we can get each other out of the corners!
They just opened up hotel rooms at another hotel that is like 2-3 minutes away from the conference- for a conference discount rate.
Yeah I’ve already purchased my ticket, as for the hotel I’m debating on the Sheraton and Country Inn, we’ll see, I want the girls and hubby close b/c of nursing.
Hey! I’ve been to your blog a few times in the past and never realized you were local to me. This post is sort of giving that away. Pretty sure I follow you on twitter too. How did I miss this detail?
We live about 4minutes from downtown Charlotte and the same distance from the Cotswold area. We should meet some time!
Hi MaryBeth! Glad you stopped by, I actually just changed my Local category to Charlotte because I realized that people wouldn’t really “get” Local meant CLT. We’re not too far away it’d be great to get together with another blogger in CLT.
