I was laying on the carpet just now thinking about where blogging has taken me this year. It is quite amazing, really. For the first time in my life, I traveled to Los Angeles, Chicago, and Asheville. Who knows when I would have gotten around to visiting these wonderful cities before. Blogging also introduced me to a slew of wonderful ladies that I can now call “friends”. Crazy cool. Blogging has given me a voice. A true voice. People listen, although I’m not sure why…

UPDATE: Nestle has responded to a few of PHPinParenting’s questions – PART 1 & PART 2. I honestly didn’t think I would get to a Nestle event follow-up before my Type A Mom Conference follow-up post, but many of you were dying to know what happened at Nestle, and what I experienced while visiting. Sorry, it’s a little lengthy. First, let me clarify something. There was absolutely NO drama at the Nestle event. All the negativity and theatrics took place on Twitter, and on Twitter…

Well, I didn’t quite expect the huge response I received on my Mom Blogger Status post, but I’m glad I did. I have learned a great deal in just a few weeks, and I have even landed a blogger event. In this post, I go over some of the comments from the previous post, as well as some important details I have learned regarding this issue. INVITED TO A BLOGGER EVENT.

I’m on my way, on my way, to…. Type A! Like my new jingle? I will keep in touch, or at least try to, when I’m away, but make sure you also follow me on whrrl, or see my whrrl widget on the sidebar, to see my journey as it happens. You can also follow all the action on twitter using #typeamom. I won’t be home long before I head out again to the Nestle event, so please be patient with me until I return! …

I’m curious. Has anyone else seen a trend in the SAME mom bloggers who are being handpicked for special events, conference panels, or incredible business opportunities? With the web overly saturated with so many fabulous mom bloggers, it seems that only a select few are being recognized over and over again. Why is this happening?

I’m still trying to process the whole BlogHer weekend because, dude, it was a whirlwind. I arrived late on Wednesday, geared up and energized, then left early Sunday, totally drained, but motivated. I will only touch on the highlights of BlogHer because, seriously, there is just too much tell. Don’t get too excited though, it’s still a novel. NETWORKING. My main mission in attending BlogHer was networking with online friends and new contacts. I went up to everyone I could, both big and small names,…
