@Casey, Damn – I had chapstick from the IUPUI Graduate Office I could’ve added to the swag…was afraid no one would use it…

Eh, maybe next year.

I’ll be there on a panel with two other lovely ladies and look forward to the opportunity to meet you!

Of course I gave you a what, what nomination and a vote or two. Looking forward to seeing you.

I always feel bad for my male readership when I’m referred to as a Mommy Blogger. Yes, I am a mother. Yes I blog. But my blog is not exclusively about mommies or being a mommy or read exclusively by mommies either.

I don’t really like being ID’d as a “mommy blogger” either b/c I feel like I’m so much more than a mom and I’d like to think that my blog is about more than my children.

As far as being ID’d locally, that’s a balance I’m trying to strike. There’s the part of me that wants to lay it all out there and part of me that wants to play it close to the vest for the whole scary internet creepos reason.

Good luck at the BLINDYs. How bout you take social media superstar and leave best family blog for someone else (like me!)

I’m really disappointed that I can’t make it, especially for the Saturday panels. I’d love to sit in on the mom panel and the foodie panel (Shameless plug, Heather (Inexpensively) was my roommate from BlogHer. I think she rocks the frugal thing). Best of luck with the BLINDYS, and show those men-folk how us ladies can tear up a blogging conference! I’ll be there next year for sure.

Ok, so this post kinda fits with what I wanted to ask you Casey – I am bringing my mom to indy in a couple weeks, for the weekend (I am from Cinci, and only been there for work a couple of times – no time to socialize!) She is way into Egyptian archaeology type stuff (read – mummies and King Tut) and so I am taking her to the Children’s Museum to see the exhibit. What else can we do in indy? Some of our interests – food, cooking, chocolate, antiques/flea markets, shopping in little shops (more amish country than boutique) thrift stores, etc. I know this is more than you needed to know, but I would love to know your opinion of what we need to do for the couple days we are there! You rock – and so does your blog!!

I think I sat next to a girl named Blindy at Youth Conference once.

Moosh, I, too, am voting for you. I won’t be driving all the way down to Indy any time soon – but plans could change – especially if there was an opportunity to meet you. Anyway – I hope the weekend turns out well for you and all concerned.

Casey,
I totally am voting for you. Super sad I won’t be there. I had anticipated attending but then they raised the price 400% and I about died. Can you pass this information along. The cost is so prohibitive and lame. How can they charge more than a NATIONAL conference (like Blogher) does? I mean, this is INDIANA!

Best of luck!
