This has been a banner month for me.  I am so pleased to share that I will be attending the Moms Meet WOW summit, in the DC area, on October 7-8, 2016!



  This will be my first "real" blogging conference and I am super excited.  On Friday, its just for bloggers (where we will do all kinds of nerdy blogger stuff), but on Saturday?  Saturday is for moms!  Not only will I get to learn about branding, and analytics, but I will get to enjoy comedy and cocktails with my colleagues!


Then on Saturday, I get to meet with lots of other moms, like me.  I am so excited.  The next, and possibly best part is getting to meet (and see) brands.  We use the Nordic Naturals gummies for our kids every day!  I can't wait to talk to new ones, like BeautyCounter.  I have heard a ton about it, and have just used some sample packs (which I will talk about later) and I LOVED it.  Here is a list of the vendors and sponsors!



This conference is kind of my perfect storm.  Crunchy mamas like me and learning a lot.  I'm pretty new at this blogging thing, and believe me, there is a LOT I don't know.
