We have worked with hundreds of women bloggers over the years and as women bloggers ourselves, it seemed only natural to try to make it to this years BlogHer Conference being held at the Navy Pier in Chicago next weekend.  A few of our friends and clients are speaking on panels at the event and our wonderful Editors from Wiley will be there doing some fun promotions, so I jumped at the chance to get up there to meet them in person. (“Wait, Kathy? You’re going somewhere other than your desk or the playground? Surely you jest!“... Nope.  I am, and I’ll be there without a child on my hip.  It’s a tiny miracle.)
I am really anxious to get there and mingle with bloggers I have been reading for ages, not to mention see some of the great panels they have lined up this year.  I am hoping to catch a bunch including Self-branding and Self-promotion, Technical Tools To Build Traffic, The State of the Momosphere, Professional Blogging: Art and Commerce, and of course Book to Blog and Back Again which is sponsored by none other than Wiley!  I also want to jump in on The Art of Crafts, because hello? Amy Sedaris!  Joelle gave me her book last Christmas and I just adore it. 
I’d be lying if I wasn’t also looking forward to getting dressed like an adult and going to an actual cocktail party and not have to drag a diaper bag!  If you’ll be attending this years conference, make sure to say hello if you see me prancing around!
