Evo Conference ’11 {Super Wordfilled Wednesday!}

July 12, 2011 By Emily 9 Comments

First off, I have to say a huge thank you to my hubs for making it possible for me to attend Evo Conference this year.  I can’t wait until he comes home so I can give him a huge hug. – Thank you Hubs – you and Squishy are the best parts of my everyday!

And also Thank you to Rachael from Today’s Mama and Jyl from Mom It Forward for all your amazing and hard work!!

Evo Conference was amazing in ways I wasn’t expecting.

The people I met for the first time, and others whom I have admired their blogs for months+ all rocked.  My worries of reverting back to high school cliques and catty we 99% unfounded. 

Everyone was truly awesome!  No matter how big or how small their blogs may have been, across the board I found people to be kind, sharing, and helpful, and pretty darn funny too!

I thought I might take this moment to share some of the awesomesauce with you!

Make an on-line slide show at www.OneTrueMedia.com

I made some new friends and connected with old friends:

@KathyDaltonSLC @SavvyMomNYC, @HDueitt, @JenPrice77, @NotaSupermom, @TonyaStaab, @purenaturaldive (insert head-tilt here!) @theyearofhope, @verymissy, @danicakombol, @kludgymom, @Imtopsyturvy, @blue_violet @taunitweets

Partied with some fun peeps:

@themorrisbunch, @dadarocks, @dadstreet, @DanielleSmithTV,

Found blogs that I will be frequenting now for sure!  Others still that I checked out before, and will be sure to enjoy even more now!

@Hoo_dee_Hoo, @Greeblemonkey, @tidymom, @heija, @theidearoom, @whipperberry, @bookieboo, @mommyofamonster, @jet_set, @iheartnaptime

And other’s I learned I had not heard of before, which can only be attributed to always being the last to know!

@lateniteparent

There were Keynote speakers that stood out!

@merakoh was hands down my favorite!  And of course all the Ignite speakers were great too!!

I learned about the Business of Blogging from @SwayGroup and @CoziFamily

I delved deeper into Syndication with @BabyCenter, @xiaolinmama, and @Care2

And I LOVED Media with @TeriGoudie. So many amazing nuggets of wisdom!

The parties were great, and I screamed my head off FLYING down the roller-costar with @MyBaybah!  She was also my rocking roomie.  Good thing we got along as we are doing it again in 3 weeks for blogher11!!

I laughed jumping into the pool fully clothed, and laughed harder when we got kicked out!

I found a renewed desire for my blog, and find myself brainstorming more new ideas then I have in a long time.  I am excited to see what the next year will bring in my blog, and already planning on attending next year!

Thank you to all who went and inspired others.  Thanks for the laughs, thanks for the fun!  EVO11 ROCKED!!
