I am 1 of the Friendly 15 at Build-A-Bear!

February 15, 2012 By 6 Comments

I couldn’t be more pleased to announce that I will be joining the Friendly 15 at Build-A-Bear!  In 2010, I had the honor of meeting the brand’s CEB (Chief Executive Bear), Maxine Clark, at the Disney Social Media Moms Conference who was incredibly inspirational and made me love Build-A-Bear even more.  Now, I get to go “behind the stuffing” and share with you upcoming promotions, new products, giveaways, and even contribute on their new company blog!

Over the next year, I will be sharing why Friends Count in order to help Build-A-Bear celebrate 15 years of success and 100 million furry friends.  To kick off my journey, I thought I would share my own friendly fifteen.  These are the people that I am lucky enough to be surrounded with on a daily basis.

  • My Hubby:  How many people are lucky enough to say they married their grade school sweetheart?
  • My Mom and Dad: I was lucky enough to have a good support system right from the start.
  • Jennifer V: My very first friend.  The Godmother of my youngest daughter.  Sister I never had.
  • Jennifer K: Been there through thick and thin, bad boyfriends (can you say band-aid man?) and high school proms.  My Maid of Honor and one of the first to hold my oldest daughter in the NICU.
  • Anie: We met in high school and I watched her fulfill her dream of becoming a Doctor.  I trust her with the lives of my children.  One of the strongest women I know.
  • Renee D:  My high school “little sister” turned real life sister-in-law.  I am constantly in awe of her determination, intelligence and courage (and a wee bit jealous of her travels).
  • Maureen: More than a boss.  A mentor, a role model, a friend.
  • Renee B: I never expected to find a best friend at work. She makes the day more bearable.
  • Cecelia: Who would have thought that an online friendship would turn into one that I can’t live without?
  • Eric and Nikki:  He once tried to feed me dog food, but I love him anyway.  And I am so happy that she married my brother so she can keep him in line.
  • Beth: My cousin turned little sister…and great writer here at Experimental Mommy.
  • Mike and Tammy: My husband and I are so blessed to have friends that are truly family.
  • Sweet tea: It always makes me feel better when I am down.
  • My dance crew (Missy, Tracy, Kathy, Erin, Nicole, and Abby): Dance has been such a huge part of my life.  I cherish every memory.  And please don’t be offended that you are listed after Sweet Tea…totally coincidental.
  • My blogging buddies:  This blog would not be what it is today without the encouragement and guidance of many bloggers who I am lucky to call friends.  You know who you are!

Help me celebrate the Friendly 15!  What are some of your Most Valuable Friendships?

Is 2012 the Year Your Blog Becomes “Visible?”

January 2, 2012 By 3 Comments

Reflecting on the achievements I have made with Experimental Mommy in the past year, my mind started to wander on all that I have created with my business partner, Cecelia, and just how far we have come as product review bloggers in the Mom blog space.  When we began over four years ago, we had no idea that we would be able to connect with brands on a deeper level and hold ongoing relationships leading to brand ambassadorships.  In turn, we have been able to bring valuable information and remarkable giveaways to our readers!

In 2011, Cecelia and I hosted the inaugural Reviewer’s Retreat Blog Conference in order to help other product review bloggers perfect their skills and rise to the top of their game…stand out from the crowd.  When we read Jennifer James’ recent post on Mom Blogger Club entitled “15 Mom Blogging Predictions of 2012,” we were elated to see number 13:

“Blogging Tiers: As hard as this is to write the truth is the chasm between the mom bloggers who are the top bloggers and those who aren’t will continue to widen. To stand out from the crowd you will have to take actionable steps to work with brands – if that’s your goal. That means networking at conferences and events, going for and landing conference speaking gigs, learning SEO (even if just a little), and writing exceptional content.”

Jennifer’s annual predictions get a lot of attention and being one of the industry’s leaders generally makes her predictions spot on.  It was also nice to see Janice Croze of 5 Minutes for Mom post on the topic at Babble’s Mom Crunch, “In fact, I agree with every one of Jennifer’s predictions and believe that 2012 will be an incredible year of opportunity for savvy, hard working, visible mom bloggers.” See a theme?  VISIBLE.  It’s time to jump ahead and take a risk.

Reviewer's Retreat 2011

Is working with brands a goal for your blog?  Are you ready to take “actionable steps” to achieve your goal?  If you answered yes, then Reviewer’s Retreat is the place for you!  Cecelia and I will be hosting the second annual Reviewer’s Retreat on June 3-5th at Great Wolf Lodge in Charlotte, NC.  In fact, we are happy to announce that you can come learn from Jennifer James herself during her keynote discussion and mingle with our title sponsor, Pampers!

At Reviewer’s Retreat, you will be able to take part in hands-on workshops to learn more about pitching brands, video product reviews (from the incomparable Molly Gold), search engine optimization, starting a LLC, peer collaboration, and landing those sought after ambassadorships to name a few.  There will also be ample time for meeting brand representatives directly and learning about what they look for when choosing bloggers for long term relationships.  And did I mention, the Conference is at a water park?!?

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to grab an Early Bird ticket (ends February 29th), a deep discount at Mom Spark, and apply for a scholarship!  It’s time to take your review blog to the next level and become one of those “visible” bloggers!  It’s time for YOU!

Top 6 “Mom-umental” Moments of 2011

January 1, 2012 By 5 Comments

As I counted down the seconds until the year 2012 arrived, I became reflective on all that 2011 brought to Experimental Mommy.  There certainly were some Mom-umental Moments and I thought I would share them with you!

6.  Attending KRAFT’s BlogEats Conference:  Even though I can’t successfully boil water or make an ice cube, I found myself standing in the world famous KRAFT kitchen attempting to make recipes from delicious KRAFT products.  It was so much fun and I even got to ride in the Wienermobile!

5.  Meeting Drew Brees:  In November, I was invited to attend a press event to unveil the new Vick’s VapoRub commercial starring Drew Brees and his son, Baylon.  Putting my arm around him and taking a picture was definitely a “pinch me” moment for this Saints fan!

4.  Networking at BlogHer San Diego:  This was my first trip to San Diego and I fell in love with the City.  Simply gorgeous.  On top of the scenery, BlogHer was spent networking with blogger buddies and brands I love.

3.  Helping St. Michael’s Special School with my Pampers Miracle Mission:  I am honored to be on the Pampers Baby Board and was even more thrilled to be given $1,000 to help a charity in my own hometown.  Purchasing supplies needed by the school and delivering to the students was an experience I will never forget.

2.  Rediscovering myself at Callaway Gardens:  This was a family vacation that will live in infamy!  From ziplining to doing a backflip on a trapeze, I conquered many of my fears and learned to believe in myself.

Cecelia, Stacey (Mom Central) and I

1.  Successfully planning and hosting Reviewers Retreat 2011:  Easily one of my best accomplishments to date!  My business partner (and friend), Cecelia and I began the first and only blog conference geared specifically towards building mutually beneficial relationships between product review bloggers and brands.  It went so well, that we are holding Reviewer’s Retreat 2012 in Charlotte, NC on June 3-5th!  Early bird tickets will be on sale through February 29th.  Join us!

 

 

What were your “Mom-umental” Moments of 2011?

My Experience at the KRAFT BlogEats Conference {Giveaway}

November 10, 2011 By

Ok, let’s be real.  If you read this site, you know that I am not known for my cooking skills….or baking skills….or even boiling a good pot of water.  But this past June, KRAFT took a chance on me (it was a HUGE leap of Faith on their part) and asked me to create a regional sandwich to be featured in the KRAFT Outstandwich campaign.  I decided to go with a traditional New Orleans French Fry Po-boy…how can you mess that up, right?

Now, a few short months later, I found myself headed to the BlogEats conference at the KRAFT Kitchens in Chicago….O.M.G.  In fact, my husband laughed when he learned that I was invited.  I think his exact words were, “I hope then don’t expect you to cook something edible.“  Despite the lack of confidence on the homefront, I boarded a plane and left for BlogEats, a two day conference filled with cooking instruction, food photography tips, and product sampling.

The first night, I had a chance to meet up with the other 13 bloggers in attendance as well as the great people that made this event a reality.  We were treated to an excellent dinner at Maggiano’s which was wonderful (we even had chocolate covered bacon for dessert!) and then left to get some rest at the Doubletree.

After a delicious breakfast featuring Monkey Bread, the next day began with a recipe challenge in the KRAFT Kitchens.  My heart stopped instantly.  I have to create and make a dish right here in front of everyone?  I might die.  Thankfully, I learned that we would be broken into teams….AMEN!  My team was wonderful and I instantly volunteered to be the note-taker…I am good with a pencil.

While this challenge was a ton of fun (who knew?), my favorite part was learning about all of the new products coming down the line.  As a Mom who works outside of the home, I am all for easy meal solutions.  I was excited to learn about the KRAFT Sizzling Salads, a kit that comes with a sauce to cook your meat and a paired dressing for the salad.  We had the opportunity to try the Southwest Chicken variety and it was totally restaurant quality.  Delicious and Easy.

Another one of my favorite products is the Velveeta Cheesy Skillets.  We actually had the opportunity to make the Ultimate Cheeseburger Mac in the KRAFT Kitchens…and get this…..I did it (and yes, it was edible).  Four different varieties are available, but my kids’ favorite is the Nacho Supreme.  One meal, one skillet….what’s not to love?

I had an absolutely amazing time at the KRAFT BlogEats Conference.  I learned so much and walked away with a sense of kitchen confidence that I didn’t have before….and did I mention that I got to ride in the Weinermobile? SCORE!

Drew Brees: Incredible Quarterback, Amazing Dad

November 8, 2011 By 2 Comments

Confession: My husband has a man crush on Drew Brees.  So, you can imagine that I was elevated to “Best Wife Ever” when my family was invited to a local media event featuring none other than the one, the only….Drew Brees!

As native New Orleanians, we both know that this City reveres Brees as the quarterback who finally brought home the Lombardi Trophy!  But through his years here in New Orleans, we have gotten to know Brees as much more than a quarterback.  He has helped this community in numerous ways post Katrina with The Brees Dream Foundation, and for that we are eternally grateful.  New Orleans also got to witness the birth of Drew Brees the Father, as his first son, Baylen was born.  Who can forget the adorable picture of Brees and Baylen on the field after the Superbowl win?

Now, Brees has partnered with Vick’s VapoRub to become the first ever VapoDad!  Drew’s wife, Brittany, introduced Brees at the event and shared with the audience his “hands-on” Dad style which is apparent when watching the interaction between Father and son.  After a few comments, we were treated to a screening of the new Vick’s VapoRub commercial featuring Brees, the first time a Dad has ever appeared in the company’s advertisements.

Not only do we love Drew Brees, but we have been huge fans of Vick’s VapoRub for years.  When I am congested, I love that the aromatic active vapors in Vicks VapoRub are continually released and inhaled for up to eight hours. The combination of vapors in Vicks VapoRub, including menthol, camphor and Eucalyptus Oil, works to reduce a cough by acting on airway sensory nerves.  Did you know that these active ingredients also relieve minor muscle aches and pains in joints and muscles, too?  Brittany Brees admits to rubbing some on Drew’s feet after a big game!

Best. Moment. Ever.

With the flu season in full swing, make sure you stock your medicine cabinet with Vick’s!  And while you’re at it, check out Drew’s new commercial and look for the print ads, too!

Thanks to Vick’s for inviting us to the press event in New Orleans.  I was not compensated for attending the event, however samples were received.  All opinions remain 100% my own.

Delivering my Pampers Miracle Mission

November 1, 2011 By 3 Comments

When I was first contacted as a member of Pampers Board about embarking on a Miracle Mission, I was so excited to give back to my community.  But little did I know that my chosen Miracle Mission would be such a fulfilling experience.  A few months ago, I announced my selected Miracle Mission, St. Michael’s Special School in New Orleans, LA.

St. Michael’s provides 200 special needs children with academic, social, vocational and physical education.  My cousin, who passed from the complications of epilepsy, was a student at St. Michael’s.  While I knew this school helped my family in numerous ways, I had no idea the amount of love contained in the building!

When I first contacted St. Michael’s about my $1,000 donation from Pampers, they were elated!  They soon compiled a wish list including art supplies, writing tablets, personal CD players and many more tools to help the students cope with stress.  Shopping was incredibly fun but delivering the gifts was honestly one of the best experiences of my life.

After arriving at the school and meeting with the Assistant Principal, Beth (my cousin and writer at Experimental Mommy), my husband and I were allowed to bring the gifts to the individual classrooms and meet the children and teachers.  Their joyful faces and words of gratitude filled my soul!  We were allowed to take pictures at the school and granted permission to share them with you:

When our gifts were distributed, we took the grand tour of the facility.  St. Michael’s strives to give these special needs children the same experiences as their siblings who may attend other schools in the area.  They have a student council, cheerleaders, choir, and drama club to name a few!  In addition to academic classes, the high school students learn skills such as cooking, personal hygiene, woodworking, and maintaining a home.

St. Michael’s believes that each one of their students is like a blue rose.  Unique and Beautiful….truly Little Miracles.  The happiness of the students and the dedication of the faculty was overwhelming and I can’t thank Pampers enough for allowing me to create a Miracle in my hometown.  Take a moment to visit Pampers on Facebook and learn more about the Miracle Missions initiative.

As a member of the Pampers Baby Board, I received a $1,000 gift card to donate to a local charity.  No compensation was received for this post.

October 23, 2011 By 5 Comments

Last week, I was fortunate enough to travel to the Kraft Kitchens in Glendale, Illinois to learn about their new products and initiatives.  I am looking  forward to sharing all the details (I even got to ride in the Oscar Mayer Weiner Mobile!), but there was one recipe that I knew I needed to share immediately.  For those times when you are craving sweet AND salty, this is totally for YOU!

BlogHer 2011: San Diego

August 9, 2011 By 3 Comments

BlogHer, one of the largest blogging conferences, will always hold a special place in my heart.  After all, it is where I met Cecelia who became my business partner in 2009.  As a newbie at BlogHer ’09, I had no idea what to expect.  In 2010, I packed my schedule with appointments and had little time to really connect with other bloggers or have a little fun.  In 2011, I think I finally figured it out!  Incorporating a mixture of appointments with brands, conversation with bloggers, and time to learn in a session or two, I left BlogHer 2011 feeling incredibly inspired.  So, I thought I would share some of my highlights of BlogHer 2011:

The first day, I attended the P&G Life Well Lived where I had a chance to connect with some of my favorite brands including Tide, Downey and Braun.  It was here that I heard a quote that will stick with me for a long time, “The days may be long, but the years are short.“  So true.  As a working Mom of two small girls, I am exhausted by the end of the day, so in times of frustration, I will remind myself of this quote.

During the conference, I was so happy to see a session focused on review blogging!  I was so proud of fellow bloggers (Niri, Amy and Stacie) as they spoke on a panel that helped to give legitimacy to our genre. After the session, I headed to the Expo Hall where I was able to connect with brands such as Dole (have you seen the new Shakers?), Dove Chocolate, Chuck E. Cheese, Playskool, King’s Hawaiian (huge fan of their bread) and Eggland’s Best.  Later in the conference, I got the opportunity to connect with brands such as Lovable Labels, Microsoft, Tide and McDonald’s during intimate lunch or dinner settings.  I absolutely loved hearing about the upcoming initiatives of these companies and can’t wait to share them with you!

However, I think the best part of BlogHer 2011 was the opportunity to be inspired by some of my favorite bloggers, connect with old friends and make new friends along the way!  For this alone, BlogHer 2011 was totally worth it!

Did you attend BlogHer 2011?  What was your favorite moment?

49 Days and Counting…..

March 26, 2011 By 1 Comment
Are you attending any blog conferences this year?  As I gear up to co-host my very first blog conference, Reviewer’s Retreat, I am learning just how much work it is to pull together a successful event.  My business partner, Cecelia from Cool Baby Kid and I have taken great pride in coordinating a conference that is the perfect mix of education, fun and family and with only 49 days to go, we couldn’t be more excited…..
…..or freaked out.  Not sure which.  I have attended several blog conferences in the past and have an idea of what I like and what I don’t, but I have never given much thought into how much work went in to meticulously planning every detail.  Imagine a series of conveyors (like at airport baggage claim) carrying the tasks that remain to be completed in those short 7 weeks continually circulating in my brain.  Program design, signage, name tags, catering, and the all important announcement of Reviewer’s Retreat 2012 (whoo hoo!)….I wish there was a picking system to help me decide how to prioritize or perhaps I should create a spreadsheet with tasks to print and apply to my daily schedule.
While planning the conference has been a ton of work, it has also been a lot of fun and a great learning experience for Cecelia and myself!  We absolutely cannot wait to share with you all everything we have planned for our attendees.  See you all in May!

BlogHer ’10: From the Big Easy to the Big Apple (part 2)

August 13, 2010 By 3 Comments

What a difference a year makes!  Last year at BlogHer ’09, I was the new kid on the block.  I wasn’t sure what to expect and just hoped to learn something valuable.  That conference turned out to be a turning point for me as I met another review blogger and started a wonderful partnership, the Double Duty Divas.  What began as a way to help moms who work outside the home network, quickly grew into a Review and Ad Network with over 200 members.

Fast-forward one year later to BlogHer ’10 and we were ready to hit the ground running.  Again, I hoped to learn valuable skills at the conference, but this time I knew it was more about the connections and relationships with other bloggers and brands.  And what’s the best way to network?  Party!  Cecelia, Renee and I tried to attend as many events as we could (and perhaps overscheduled ourselves!) in order to meet new friends, catch up with old ones and learn something in the process.

On the way to the Hallmark event!

The first stop was American Girl where we enjoyed a relaxing lunch in the Café with dolls…yes, grown women with dolls.  Don’t judge me.  It was fun.  After checking in at the hotel, we tried to catch a cab to the Social Luxe Lounge.  Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful and decided to try a Pedicab.  Never.Again.  I saw my life flash before my eyes, but we made it in one piece to the party.  We all had the opportunity to get our hair and nails done, enjoy a relaxing shoulder massage (which we needed after that PediCab ride), and check out the new products from Avery, Ghirardelli (the new luxe milk chocolate was to die for) and Yummie Tummie.  We ended the night by attending the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) party on the rooftop of the Empire Hotel where we learned all about safety in many common situations.  The setting was gorgeous and the atmosphere was truly relaxing (I even got to watch an outdoor ballet performance by Juilliard!).

Audrey (one of the founders of Getting Gorgeous) and I

Believe it or not, I managed to do all of that before BlogHer officially began!  On Friday, we started the day attending a meeting with my friend, Zachary from Coffee for Less.  If you own a single cup coffee machine like the Keurig, you should definitely check out Coffee for Less to supply your K-cups!  Because we were exhausted from the night before, we couldn’t wait to head to the Getting Gorgeous Event held by Audrey McClelland and Vera Sweeny where I found my most favorite “Swag” of the conference, the MiracleBody jeans.  I decided to step outside of my comfort zone and try the leggings….I am told that I can pull it off.

Now that I was feeling gorgeous, it was time to hit some sessions!  I attended a “Pitch Me” session that was absolutely fabulous!  I learned so much and intend to share it with you in another post.  After touring the expo hall (the P&G Home Away from Home was stunning), we were ready to devour some cupcakes at “Sweets in the City” hosted by Complicated Mama and The Big Toy Book.  It was here that I met Kelby Carr who was so nice and offered lots of great advice to Cecelia and I.

Renee, Cissy, Crystal, Kate and I at Robeez

After getting a sugar high, we ran to the Robeez (pronounced Rob-eez…who knew?) event and finally the Christmas in August party hosted by Hallmark.  The Hallmark event was certainly one of the highlights of the trip.  Entering the penthouse, I was overwhelmed with the smells of the Holiday season.  Here I discovered the Recordable Books from Hallmark and I just fell in love.  Lots of good food, decorating cookies, pictures with Santa and mingling with friends made this party a real joy.

Saturday, we got the chance to host our own meet-up at Starbucks with our Double Duty Diva network.  Coffee for Less and SnuggStuff provided the swag and everyone enjoyed their morning coffee while meeting the Divas.  We took our morning drinks on the road to Scholastic where we learned all about the new releases and literacy initiative.  I remember ordering books from the Scholastic catalog and now I love seeing the excitement in my daughter’s eyes when she comes home with her selections.

Photobucket

The Divas hit BlogHer '10!

After lunch, we managed to squeeze in another session on Monetization and then it was off to dinner with Tide.  For those of you who have read my blog for a while now know that Tide is one of my favorite brands.  For obvious reasons, the Tide Loads of Hope project is near and dear to my heart and I cannot wait to work with them later this month for the 5 year anniversary.

Honestly, I have no idea how I managed to fit all of this in one short weekend.  But looking back, I wouldn’t change one single thing.  I think BlogHer ’10 was a success for me personally and professionally and has made me excited about the future of Experimental Mommy and the Double Duty Divas!  Thanks again to Corky and Co. and Escalate Network for making my trip possible!
