I loved #BlogHer09
I loved the blogher people, the blogher networking, the blogher swag, the blogher parties, the chee chee drinks. I loved the conversations, the twitter addicts, the humor, the laughter, the sense of being in one large tribe.
I loved the free massage I received at the cocktail party…

And had fun walking the red carpet at Bowlher.

My Belly Is Still A Conversation Starter
If you are new to my blog or if you don’t remember, when I meet new people they usually ask me if I am pregnant (I am NOT pregnant). Needless to say, some mommy bloggers did ask me if I was pregnant. Just to be clear, I am NOT pregnant and I have no intention to ever be pregnant again. Read my Top Ten Signs I May Always Look Pregnant post to read the juicy details.
Coming Up Next
In my next post, I will write about all the creative ideas I now have that are overflowing from my brain (some are pouring out faster than I can catch them). I look forward to officially sharing my new vision for CreateaBalance.com and to share the scoop on a new blog I created while I was at BlogHer09.
This is Your Moment
If you went to BlogHer09, welcome to the Create a Balance community (and please say HI in the comments section). If you didn’t go to BlogHer, have you been to blogging conferences in the past? Would you go to blogging conferences in the future? What do you think about meeting bloggers face-to-face?
Thank you again to ReviveYourLife.com for sending me to BlogHer09.

Look like a fun show! I would personally like to meet other bloggers at a show. Do you know of any other shows that bloggers attend?
Love the pics!
Thanks!
Great pictures Stacey! You look like you’re having a blast!
And what a great way to connect with other bloggers.
I’ve not been to a blogging conference before, although I am attending a day-long social media conference on Wednesday. And part of the real draw is to connect up in person with several people I know only from their online presence.
Anyway, this all sounds awesome – the ideas bouncing around in your head – so cool!
So glad it went well – looking forward to your new developments. And I can’t believe people thought you looked pregnant…you look fantastic in that photo you posted!
I have not been to a blogging conference, but I have had the opp to meet some folks in person that I met online…I think it’s awesome!
I’m so glad you had a great time! Love the pink feathers!
Stacey,
So glad you had a great time. Love the photos and no you don’t look pregnant. I agree with all Vared said. I would love to go to a conference. But have to many other things I want to do right now.
Welcome back! tess
I look forward to your new vision. It sounds like you’ve found your path and inspiration.
It’s great to reshape our blogs to catch up with us, and reflect our latest version of ourselves. I always believe that working on your blog is working on your life, and it’s great to experiment and test your results.

And no, to me you do NOT look pregnant.
