Honey, Being a Mommy is In Style.

When I first read the New York Times article Honey, Don't Bother Mommy. I'm too busy Building My Brand. I wasn't sure if she was at the same conference that I was attending. Sure the author mentioned some of the topics that we went over- but they forgot to mention all of the positive which is what Bloggy Bootcamp was all about!

I felt like the article was picking at women for having a hobby, saying that by having a blog I obviously must be neglecting my children in some way. I went to *shock and horror* a ONE DAY conference and left my children with their father what is wrong with me?! Well what is wrong with me every day when I leave the house to go to work? Because I am not being paid to blog I should fell guilty about taking a little time each day to myself? If I was spending the same time going to the gym or running errands would I be criticized for that?

I just think it is so unfortunate that the writer decided to put a negative spin on what could have been a really great article about an awesome event. I loved my experience so much that I am going back. I have signed up to attend Bloggy Bootcamp in Philly and I hope a lot of you will join me so you can find out what it is all about first hand. You won't be sorry.

SITS is a wonderful community, Tiffany is an awesome woman and Bloggy Bootcamp was the best thing that I could have done for my blog. And for myself - the women that attended this conference were nothing short of amazing.

The one thing that the NYT did get right was putting the article in the Fashion & Style section. After all- being a Mom is in fashion, it's hot, it's what all the women are doing. And it's not going out of style any time soon.
