Blogging on the Brain

I know I've been quiet here recently. It's because I've been working on some new blogs. I'm totally bitten by the writing bug. Everything I do, I think, "Hmmm, that might make a good blog post." I need to start carrying around a notebook to jot down all my ideas.

I'd love it if you visit (and subscribe!) my other blogs. Each one is a bit more specialized, as opposed this one, which is kind of a mish-mash. I'd love to hear your feedback. What you'd like to see on each blog. Suggestions of topics, etc.

To make life easier, here are the links:

  • Cup of Creativi-Tea: I'm sharing all things creative, whethere it's cooking, sewing, or kid crafts. Maybe some bellydancing (that's creative!). I'm also adding lots of tutorials.
  • I'm Not the Nanny: Parenting stories, with some musings about raising biracial kids in a racially conscious world
  • Laugh in Bed: Intimacy and relationships. Maybe some sex.

I'll still post here occassionally until I get the other ones established! Thanks for reading!

Win A Blogalicious Conference Pass!

Have you heard about Blogalicious? It's an awesome blogging conference organized by the wonderful ladies at MamaLaw. Blogalicious 2009 will provide women bloggers of color an amazing opportunity to come together to celebrate their diversity and their love for blogging.

For three days, black, Latina, Caribbean, Asian-Pacific, and Native-American bloggers, among other nationalities, will enjoy a weekend of entertaining discussions and extraordinary events, all experienced in the company of exceptional women. The conference runs Oct 9-11.

How cool is that? Now don't fret. You don't have to be a minority or have a vagina to attend. Honest. All are welcome!

A couple of weeks ago, they had a special for conference registration and it was too good to resist.
I got on the phone with my OB and she cleared me to travel to Atlanta for the conference. My birthday is October 8, so I hope you can come and help me celebrate.

Let me tell you how awesome the conference will be. Not only will it be a great weekend of networking, but some amazing bloggers will be speaking and sharing their amazing experience. Check out the agenda.

There will also be FREE childcare, thanks to sponsor Huggies. You don't even have to find a sitter for your kids! They're going to be entertained and fed while you get to enjoy time with other grownups. You can even apply for the Chevy Carpool, where you'll receive a cool Chevy to drive to Atlanta. The last day to apply is September 15 (TOMORROW).

So go register today! There are currently some amazing conference pass specials. These are for a limited time and a limited quantity, so take advantage of them before they are gone.

Student Pass - A special discounted price of $75 per ticket is now available for students. A Student Pass admission gives you access to all conference activities BUT you'll have to present current college or university student identification at conference check in and you'll have to be at least 21 years of age to party.

2 for 1 Pass - A special discount of $350 for admission for 2 will be offered to you and a friend if you register together. Admission includes all the perks of a regular admission - just at a discount.

Party Pass - For those of you who want to network a little and party a lot, this pass will give you admission as a conference attendee to the exclusive Blogalicious events on Friday and Saturday nights and will give you access to the Exhibitor Marketplace during the day on Saturday.

Skip Pass - If you only want to attend the general sessions, then this pass is for you! For a special price of $100, you'll get admission to the Saturday Morning Keynote Session; Keynote Luncheon (includes lunch); Town Hall Session; Coffee & Snack Breaks; and the Exhibitor Marketplace.

Don't sleep because these offers are for a limited time only!

You can also win your own pass, right here on my blog! I would love to meet you in person. There are several ways you can enter the giveaway to win a full conference registration (hotel and travel are on your own). Those who are already registered are not eligible for this contest, sorry. Please make sure you leave an email address for me to contact you.

1. Leave a comment on which speaker or breakout session you couldn't miss for the world. (See agenda)

2. Tweet about the giveaway (with link) and leave another comment with the link to your tweet. If you're feeling lazy, you can use this tweet:

There are quite a few sessions that I want to attend. If I had to choose one, I really want to attend Upgrade You: Taking Your Blog to the Next Level. This event is such a great thing, just being able to interact with other female bloggers is worth the price of admission = )

Huh. I could've sworn I entered to win. Maybe not. So I'm doing it now!

"Marketing to Women of Color: The Real Deal" sounds like a session I would love to attend!

I want to attend as many as possible to be completely honest. They are all great topics. I would have to say I love the mom 2.0, its a concept that I have thought about as I am a virtual assistant and web 2.0 is very important to know...but mom 2.0 is most important. Also Hot Social Media trends.

I am turning 40 in October and would love to celebrate such a milestone with new friends and helping me build my new life online.
