2013 Top Vancouver Mom Blogger - I'm a Nominee!

By nature, Bloggers are opinionated folks who spill the beans about their life, their experiences and pretty much everything in between. As a Blogger, I love when my posts illicit comments, discussion or a sense of community; I'm no expert at reader engagement, but I try and I'm certain my ability to reach people improves with each and every post.

All that being said, perhaps more exciting (though not more important) than building blog community, is being nominated as one of the 2013 Top Vancouver Mom Bloggers by Vancouvermoms.ca.

I am one of THIRTY local mom Bloggers that are being celebrated and featured by Vancouver Moms, and let me tell you, this years nominees are top notch. My Blog roll is about to be expanded in a huge way, and I suspect yourS is too!

If you're interested, head on over to the VANCOUVER TOP MOM BLOGGERS VOTING PAGE and cast your vote (I'd love it if you voted for me!!) Voting is open until Monday June 10th and you can vote for your favourite THREE bloggers once this week and once next week. You can vote two times total!

All the nominees will be celebrated at the 2013 GLAM event at a secret Gastown Location and YOU are all invited to join in the fun. Tickets can be purchased on eventbrite for $39 until June 1 or $49 after that date.

Just because you're my friend, and I'm a nominee, you can get $5 off your ticket with coupon code 2013friend. Hope to see you there!

Ddrops Bliss Contest | YOUR votes are needed

When I started the Momma Stuff Blog, I barely knew what a blogging conference was.  In fact I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted, nay needed, the Momma Stuff Blog to be.  A year later, although I still don't have any concrete answers, I've learned so much.

• I've learned about myself; finding my voice, finding my community and finding my style.
• I've learned about interactions; being a friend, being a reader and engaging discussion.
• I've learned about the web; custom domain's, Twitter and Facebook pages.

But there's still so much more to learn, I've barely skimmed the surface of these lessons, garnering what I can from tweets, blog posts and the amazing blogging community at large.

I want to attend Blissdom Canada and spend three days immersed in blogging culture; learning to develop the Momma Stuff Blog, effectively engage readers and increase traffic.  The amazing opportunity that Blissdom Canada provides to network, meet and learn from amazing Canadian Bloggers in person, is absolutley drool-worthy.  I crave knowledge and would absolutley love to attend Blissdom Canada, which is why I have entered the Ddrops Bliss Contest.

Ddrops is graciously giving away four tickets to Blissdom Canada 2011; entrants were asked to write about how Canadian Mom Bloggers Influence the Health of Canadians and the winners will be determined by readers like YOU.  My post was all about why Mom Blogging Matters.

It only takes a moment to vote, you simply need to go to the  

Ddrops Bliss Contest 

and leave a comment there, indicating your vote for the Momma Stuff Blog 

...or any of the other amazing and deserving entrants, if that's your preference.
voting is open until Friday March 11th, 11:59 pm E.S.T.

I am up against some big Canadian Bloggers with followings far surpassing the Momma Stuff Blog, so every vote matters and every vote is appreciated.  Thank you all so much for reading, commenting and stopping by!
