Blogher for baby

I’ve been trying to dedicate Tuesday’s to the “baby” end of this site. In light of that, I thought I would talk about the “baby” end of things for me at Blogher. And that means telling you all about my amazing night with some great pregnant bloggers put on by MomBloggersClub and Stokke at the Land of Nod. Can you say FUN?

First of all, putting 15 pregnant women (or soon to be pregnant) women on a bus together is just plain great! You know we had some stories, experiences and aches to share. (I will spare you the details of those conversations). Then they took us to the Land of Nod. Now, I am going to be honest here, I had never heard of the Land of Nod prior to the invite. However, many of you readers quickly let me know that I was in for a treat. And I was.

Once there, the great people at Stokke did a tremendous job showing us the Xplory stroller, Tripp Trapp high chair and Sleepi crib. And, yes, I was familiar with Stokke. My husband begged me for an Explory when we had our first child and my frugal wallet had to quickly say “no”. It is an amazing stroller but unfortunately beyond our budget.

I digress. Our tour ended with an announcement that we were each getting a Tripp Trapp shipped to us for use with our new little one! Seriously? I was overcome with excitement. And it will be coming before the new baby arrives so I think that I am going to let Isaac try it out. It should be well timed with his transition to a booster seat at the table.

I know, where is your Tripp Trapp? Sorry. This one is just for me. But if you are in the market for a new high chair I would highly recommend it. After all, like most Stokke products, it grows with your child and can be used for years. No throwing it in the garage or the attic until the next young one, you can just keep using it.

The night ended with a great meal at Sangria’s (don’t worry they didn’t serve pregnant women alcohol) which was also amazing. And you know a table full of pregnant women can put away some food!

It was great to get some free stuff, to see a new product and a new store and to meet the fabulous PR people behind these products. But the best part was getting to sit and talk with other bloggers who were going through the same things that I am right now. I am so glad that I got to meet each and every one of them.

Here are the other great pregnant women I shared the evening with:

• Erin – $5 Dinners
• Clarissa – The Poshpreneur
• Victoria – The Kids and Me
• Stacie – The Divine Miss Mommy
• Lisa – Workout Mommy
• Natalie – Once Upon a Cline
• Jill – The Diaper Diaries
• Katin – The Simple Me
• Jacqueline – AK Blessings Abound
• Amy – Assert A Girl
• Trisha – Sweet N Sassy Girls
• Mercedes – Common Sense with Money
• Adrienne – Mom Central
• Emily – Designher Momma

I have many other great stories and experiences to share with you, but I will leave you with this for now. And be sure to take a few moments and see what these other great women are up to.
