There’s No Party Like a NOLA Party: Niche Mommy Conference 2012

by

Last weekend was spent in the wonderful city that is New Orleans at The Niche Mommy Conference. As I blogged before, I was invited to attend the first year of Niche Mommy as an attendee and a panelist. It was a great mix of bloggers who wanted to network, learn, and share their blogging experiences. Taking our blogs to the next level by making it our primary business is something that most of us attending aspire to do, and there were plenty of experts on hand to share their knowledge and guidance.

I went to the conference a day early to get a feel for New Orleans, since this was my first visit. On Thursday, I soaked up time in the Guerlain Spa located in The Roosevelt Hotel New Orleans, and then met up with other attendees at a pre-conference reception. Afterwards, we headed to the French Quarter and kicked it with the Collective Bias Crew (actually, make that two nights!).

The two and a half day conference was wonderful and was well put together. I love a conference that is located in a great venue and that runs smoothly.

Below are a few pictures of my escapades and adventures in New Orleans. I would recommend Niche Mommy Conference to anyone who wants to learn more about how to make their blog and social media presence and influence a full-time career.

I’m Headed to The Big Easy for The Niche Mommy Conference

by

Can you believe that I have never been to New Orleans?

Well, that is about to change, because I am heading to NOLA for The Niche Mommy Conference, taking place at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel near the French Quarter. This is the inaugural conference event for Niche Mommy, and I am very excited to be attending.

As you may be able to tell, I am an avid fan of attending conferences. There is so much to learn, I feel like I want to be front and center. And while I can’t attend each and every conference I want to, it sure feels good to be able to attend the ones that I really feel are special and will help me propel my brand.

I am so looking forward to the networking that will take place, as well as the plenty o’ talking points and takeaways that are sure to take place.

If you’d like to follow my experience while in New Orleans for The Niche Mommy Conference, make sure to follow me on Twitter and on my Facebook page.

NOLA, here I come, baby! I hope you’re ready!

My 5 Most Fabulous BlogHer ’12 Moments

by

This year’s BlogHer conference in New York City was nothing short of amazing. I had the most awesome time learning, partying, bonding, sharing, and even debating with some of my friends, fellow bloggers, and counterparts. I attend a lot of conferences, but there is nothing like BlogHer. I am most excited about putting all the ideas and knowledge I learned at the conference to use on my own blog and projects.

And while I know everyone and their mother is posting their BlogHer recaps, I thought I would share with you my 5 Most Fabulous BlogHer ’12 Moments. These are priceless items that I will remember for years and years to come.

I’m Heading to BlogHer ’12: A Girl Can’t Have Too Many Shoes

by

In less than 24 hours, I will be heading to BlogHer ’12 in New York City. This will be my second year attending the conference, which is like the Mack Daddy of blogging events. It’s huge! With other 4,000 attendees, BlogHer is the biggest conference I have attended up to this point; but it’s also a do-not-miss event because it offers so much in terms of networking, learning, and taking your blog to the next level.

Last year, I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but this year, I feel uber prepared. I have kept my schedule light because I refuse to me stressed out! 🙂

As a blogger and entrepreneur, it’s important to invest in yourself. These types of conferences are well worth the investment for me because I get to learn from those who are very knowledgeable as well as network and connect with brands, other bloggers, and companies that I’d like to work with.

If you are a blogger, if you don’t go to any other conference, I say you should go to BlogHer. And don’t let the name fool you. Yes, it’s organized by women but male bloggers also attend.

If you care to follow my exploits (and my shoe game) in the Big Apple at BlogHer, you can do so by following me on Twitter and on my Facebook page.

Immortalized in Ink (and by Gunpoint) at Type A Conference

I just got back from Charlotte where I was in town for Type A Conference. The conference experience was amazing, and I not only learned a lot, but I also got to meet a lot of my blogging friends in person for the very first time.

During the event, one of the sponsors, Shot At Life, had an artist on hand to draw caricatures of attendees. The result of mine was nothing short of fabulous. I think it captured my personality and brand flawlessly!
