BlogHer '10

I am late to publish my recap of BlogHer '10 - because obviously, I am a terrible blogger. I attended because blogging is something I would like to dedicate myself to doing more regularly and I was hoping to get some information and inspiration about how to do it better. On the first day, at the Opening Remarks, I found myself surrounded by approximately 2,500 women bloggers from around the world. These women blog about all topics - life, mommyhood, fitness, food, photography, finance, politics, fashion, social justice, green living, sex etc... At one point I even sat at a table full of women who blog about couponing (a new verb to me!)

Throughout the conference, I was impressed and awed by these women and their dedication to their craft, their willingness to share their knowledge and their desire to get down and party. Make no mistake, this was a wild crowd. The sessions at the conference were only a fraction of the what the event is all about. Who knew?

I was so happy to be asked to photograph The Mouthy Housewives Happy Hour. Not only has it been written up on many blogs and in many BlogHer recaps as hands down one of the best parties of the weekend, but on a personal level, it really gave me the opportunity to connect with some wonderful women who I might not have had the courage to introduce myself to, had it not been for the party. I hope to be able to introduce you to the many many new blogs I have discovered as a result. Starting with the Housewives themselves: Kelcey, Marinka and Wendi




I have to figure out how I am going to fit all this reading into my already packed day. If I do, when will I ever find the time to blog!
