I *just* (well, not really *just* but it feels like *just*) got home after spending 3 days in San Diego for BlogHer ’11! It was so, so busy, but so, so fun. I really wasn’t expecting to enjoy myself as much as I did. I went to my first BlogHer expecting to be overwhelmed, and came out thinking that I wish each day had more hours in it, because I could have used them, and even better, I didn’t feel overwhelmed even once.
One of the highlights of BlogHer for me was getting to see Dumb Mom in action in a Snapfish roundtable she participated in about photography. As you know, Amanda has some crazy good photography skills and she’s a really engaging speaker. I even got to share a table with two fellow Wordful Wednesday participants, which was, well, extraordinary.
So, for this edition of Wordful Wednesday, may I present a few shots of just a moment during my BlogHer time?
Here we go….
Dumb Mom knows how to work her audience. Clearly. {P.S. Why do I get the feeling Amanda might kill me for this photo?}
This is me, Caitlin from Pacifier in my Pocket and Dumb Mom how she normally looks. Flashing that mega watt smile.
Nicole (on the left) from Moments that Define Life and I have been online friends for 2 years and got to meet at BlogHer for the first time. We initially “met” because we both have the same rare form of twins. Hers are much younger than mine, and seeing video of them on her iphone made me remember the good old days. {sigh}.
I have a ton more BlogHer fodder, coming up in the next little while, so check back in, you hear? You can read about Day One of BlogHer ’11 here!
Wordful Wednesday is like Wordless Wednesday, only WITH words. It’s for those of us that can’t contain the chatter, but in a good way. More info. in my tabber box titled WW on the right. Thank you for playing along!
Don’t forget to hop on over to my co-host Amanda’s place (Parenting By Dummies) to see what she has to be Wordful about today!

How fun! Every year when I see the recaps I wish I had gone
It just looks and sounds like such a great time, esp because you’re surrounded by so many awesome bloggers.

Yes! Start planning now. It’s in NY!
I would love to go to BlogHer sometime. Maybe when I am a big shot like you!
Big Shot Ha. Blogher is so much fun. I’m also going to try to get to EVO and BBC’s are always great too!
Great pictures.. it must have been a really fun time at BlogHer.. it’s a pity they don’t have such events here.

I had every intention of attending Blogher this year since it was so close to home. But then discovered I’d actually be having a baby that week… Foiled by God!
Too bad…..but you got something better than ALL of us who attended BlogHer.
Did your package arrive? Must head over to see if congratulations are in order.

It was so hard to miss this year especially after going for the past 2 years, but I love reading everyone’s recaps. Hopefully next year I’ll be there!
This was my first year, and I know what you mean. So many fun recaps out there every year! It looks like it’s in NY next year….

Has Amanda sent over her bouncers yet? he he.
That’s so neat about you and Nicole and your twins. I didn’t know that. So glad you got to meet. And so glad I got to meet you all too! BlogHer was great. I just loved it…
Amanda is in So. CA right now, so maybe I should be worried.
BlogHer was so much funner than I anticipated!

It is so cool to be able to meet up with bloggy friends! I wish I don’t live so far away from where BlogHer holds its conferences.
I wish you didn’t either. I’d love to meet you in person!

I love seeing pics of bloggy buddies meetup IRL
I do it. It’s always so fun to see groups of women get to enjoy each other in real life!
Looks like so much fun!!
It was a way better time than I imagined it would be!
Seriously, Angie? I can’t believe we never got it together to meet. I am so, so sad.
I know. I don’t know how I didn’t even get a glimpse of you, either. I kept looking……

Looks like you had a great time!
I did. So much better than I thought.
That’s one of the crappy things – living on the literal other side of the world than where all the blogging real life action takes place. Sob!
Well, you’ll just have to hop on a plane for next year, right? No? Traveling across the country might be too much?

It was so fun!
Looks like SO much fun! Can’t wait to hear more about your BlogHer experience!
I guess that means I actually have to write about it, correct?
Great pictures! Glad you had a good time. Hopefully I can make it next year!
You won’t regret going. Afterall, it’s in NY!
Oh, how I wish I could have been there and met you! In a totally not-stalkerish way, of course!

Are you going next year? WOULD love to meet you in person!
I hope to be there! East coast makes it a lot easier for me.
I am seriously still bumming that I took my blogging break and didn’t know you all were going to be down here. So many awesome ladies hanging practically in my own back yard!!

How nice of you to say such lovely things about me! I had so much fun hanging out with you and getting to know you even better. And I’m okay with that creepy photo of me as long as everyone knows I was just kidding with that face, I’m usually less scary!
