I can hardly believe it has been 8 weeks since I attended MommyCon here in Las Vegas. It was the first MommyCon Mini in a great line up of many different cities!
For one full day I was surrounded by hundreds of other like-minded, baby-wearing, child-loving mommies! I got to attend workshops, seminars and exhibits all geared toward modern parenting. With an emphasis on natural parenting methods, conversations about breastfeeding, cloth diapering, birthing, and baby gear that works for your needs, it was a great day.
I loved stepping out of my home in my 4 weeks postpartum haze, getting to listen to other’s birth experiences, talk with other moms, and even discussing marriage/sex after baby all while I snuggled my sweet new baby! There was breastfeeding all over the place, so many kinds of baby carriers, top of the line baby gear from wall to wall, and candid conversation about poop and how to get it out of cloth diapers!
Baby D even made new friends while I got to catch up with his mama and friend Amanda from Mandalyn and the Stinky Cheese. From conversations on car seats, to how breastfeeding was going this time around, I loved catching up with her and her new little and super adorable man!

I took something away from each and EVERY seminar I attended and I just can’t wait to attend the big Mommycon in 2014!

I would LOVE to attend Mommycon in Chicago! 🙂 I really would be grateful at the chance to connect with other mom’s and get some great parenting advice for my lil man! 🙂
Any idea where the big MommyCon is going to be held next year?
I’d go to Philly to represent old moms!
Looks like it’s coming to Portland in the fall!
What a wonderful bonding experience!
I hope it comes to the California area!
That sounds like it would be a LOT of fun.
I’d love to go to the one in Chicago! Though I’m flying back from Blissdom the day before… but eek this would be so perfect.
i had no idea it was coming here to chicago this month. I have to check to see how much tickets are how fun
I have never heard of this
We need some conferences in the South. 🙁
I want to attend the Philly conference! The chance to connect with other moms would be great! and a HUGE plus if Jamie the Baby Guy was there too!
I am a little past the Mommycon stage, but that is such a neat idea!
Nope not coming near me. I think people believe their is nothing north of NYC … like New England doesn’t exist.
You seem to really have fun while learning too. I can see that you and your baby really enjoyed the experience basing on the photos you have posted. I would really be glad to avail of the free ticket you have been giving away. My life has been like a routine after I gave birth with my precious one and I would want to join in activities that would in a way divert our attention. Thank you for sharing.
Hello! I’m lori Macias and I have a 6 month old baby boy. I heard that for the first time Mommycon is coming to Chicago and I was so excited. I’ve never attended ant mommycon events and it’ll be a great experience for my husband and I. I’m a baby wearer lover and would like to meet other baby wearing mommas!
I would love to go to the Portland one, enjoy the company of other moms, admire awesome baby gear and swap tips.

Yay, Mamahood!! I’m so excited to see what this is al about! I had my little boy 4 mos ago and have been everything-mama since day 1. He’s the greatest gift I have ever known. Can’t wait to celebrate him with other moms in Philly at the conference. It’s expensive for us, as I’m choosing to stay home with him even though we really can’t afford it. Wining a ticket would be just amazing. I give him everything, but I is I need to foster my own well-being, too. Thanks for this chance!
Jessica, mama of baby Phoenix
Phoenix! And I wanna go ’cause I love me some babies.
I would absolutely LOVE to attend this conference! I have heard such wonderful things about it and the Portland one is within driving distance! 🙂 How FUN! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!

I would like to attend mommy con Philly! I would really enjoy learning more about babywearing and relating to other breastfeeding moms!
I would just love to attend a mini mommycon to connect with other like minded mommies. There are very few breast feeding cloth diapering baby wearing mommies in the town I live in. I would attend the Phoenix mommycon if I won. For me to be able to be a stay at home mom my husband,and I have to keep to a very tight budget so I cannot purchase a ticket…but I have family in Phx so I would have free room and board 🙂
Ahhhh what an awesome giveaway!!! It would be such a blessing for myself and my family if I could win a ticket to the Austin MommyCon 🙂 I’ve been hoping and praying to be able to go! We’re unfortunately pretty tight on money right now and I haven’t been able to do much for myself, so connecting with other mamas would be AWESOME for me!!! Thanks for the opportunity 🙂 -Jordan
i tweeted! & i’m crossing my fingers 🙂 thank you, again, for the opportunity!

Kansas City! Would love to connect with like-minded moms in my city!
We would attend Austin’s to hear the Birth W/o Fear speaker. We are having a VBAC this summer, so any reassurance of the way our bodies were designed and will birth is sooooo helpful!
I am a Breastfeeding Peer Counselor and have Breastfed 5 children. I would love to attend MommyCon so that I can network with other like minded mommies! If I had it to do over again I know I would have done a home birth and for sure skin to skin right after my babies were born. I didn’t know there were so many choices out there. I just thought that it was normal to deliver in a hospital with an IV. I have learned over the past couple of years that there are better choices and better ways of doing things. I see several hundred clients a year and would love to learn more so that I can share information. Kansas City is closest to me! I live in Wichita, Kansas!! Thank you for considering my entry!!!
