It was epic. I learned a lot about things I didn't know. The first was cloth diapering. Yes, I've done it but those mamas floored me. It was amazing hearing the amazing speakers like Jessica from the Leaky Boob and the Baby Guy NYC.
We were loaded down with free stuff. Awesome stuff, but darn it, that bag was heavy! #firstworldproblems. I kept seeing these mamas with tons of bags filled and I got curious. What the heck were they carrying?
The answer? Cloth diapers. I am talking to you, you baby wearing, bag laden mama. I saw you walking from cloth diaper vendor, to cloth diaper vendor. You were buying colors (and patterns) that you HAD TO HAVE. One lady had 315 cloth diapers at home and I am not exaggerating. Another sweet mama bought one for her daughters American Girl doll. If you know how expensive those things are...go ahead and gasp!
If you are a cloth diapering mama and you don't know what a spray pal is, check it out! It's this nifty device that you put your cloth diapers in when you spray them. It keeps the mess from splattering all over the place. You are welcome.
Overall, I loved it. I loved seeing all of the babies and toddlers all over the place. No one thought twice about screaming, or feeding, or any of those things that moms are constantly apologizing for. We felt supported and motivated by the awesome speakers. Yes, we are enough.
I only slightly stalked the Baby Guy and GUESS WHAT?! He knows who I am. (That noise was me falling on the floor again.). He was so gracious and took pictures with about a zillion people. It was so educational and super fun. I highly recommend it and if you haven't bought your tickets yet, use the code STAINSTYLE15 for a discount. Look out Seattle and LA, you are up next!
