I loved the intimate round tables, the seating assignments, the view of the ocean from our seats and the very informative speakers...
I enjoyed listening to the adorable Ashley Stock (Little Miss Momma), whose blog is barely a year old (!) share tips and tricks suitable for any and every new blogger.
I appreciated what Anna Vielle's (ABDPBT.com) had to say about Social Capital (your metrics and demographics) vs. Trust Capital (staying true to yourself and your voice, i.e. not selling out).
Mama Mary's presentation was all about incorporating videos to your blog, which is something I might try with Letters For Lucas some day after she made it look so easy. NOT!
But it was DeNae Handy (My Real Life was on Backorder) and Mama Kat (Mama's Losin' It) that stole the show for me!
DeNae's kind nature and wit make her an absolute joy to listen to. I wish she was my neighbor so that she could help me with my writing, maybe babysit Lucas form time to time and I bet she's a real hoot after a glass of wine. She shared so many writing tips and good things for us all to remember that I have to share some here:
Your readers are people. Your readers are you. Write for you and you write for your readers.
Read, read, read... just as singer sing, writers write in language that speaks to them.
Make sure it is your story to tell.
The Internet lives forever! Be careful what you put out there. People are more important than a punchline.
Generosity plays well on the Internet. Support, support and support some more.
And Mama Kat, well, she's just awesome and I must have told her nine times (shaking my head in complete and utter embarrassment).
I came away inspired and encouraged by this amazing group of women PLUS, I met the incredible writers behind Mandyland, San Diego Momma and BernThis!
I have a list of things I can do to improve my blog and my writing and I have a ton of new friends to boot.
It was Ashley that started the day by saying, You have a story, You have a voice. You deserve to be here and those words resonated with me throughout the conference and today. There may be 4 million mommy bloggers, but only one Letters For Lucas.
A HUGE big thank you to our hosts, the SITS Girls, Tiffany and Francesca for putting on a terrific conference.
Thank you too, to Morgan, (The Little Hen House) who is my friend in real life and was kind enough to help a sister out by lending me her phone charger and a pen.
