I am SO excited about this coming weekend! As mom-blogger liaison for the Orlando/Orange Country Convention & Visitors Bureau, I had the pleasure of inviting eight fabulous mom bloggers and their kids to town for three days of sun and fun that will include a tour of Disney Hollywood Studios, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Seaworld and Gatorland, plus a trip to a Blue Man Group performance — and lots of good food and good chat in between. While I won’t be there for the whole event (darn and double darn!), Friday I am flying down to meet everyone I’ve been connecting with over the past few months as we’ve pulled this exciting event together. I’d like to introduce you to the Orlando Moms (#OrlandoMom on Twitter) and invite you to keep an eye out for what they have to say about their experiences. I’m very much looking forward to seeing:
Stacie, The Divine Miss Mommy, a member of the Child’s Play Communications Team Mom blogger network, whom I met at our November 2009 Bloggers Brunch in New York City; Miranda, Keeper of the Cheerios, another wonderful Team Mom-er; Amy, Mom Advice; Amy, Mom Spark, also a Team Mom-er; Jill, Musings from Me, who also attended our NY Bloggers Brunch; Carol, NYCity Mama, another Brunch guest; Mindy, The Mommy Blog; and Jamie, Travel Savvy Mom.
To those of my blogger friends who may wonder why they weren’t on the list: There were very specific OOCVB criteria for this trip, including the child’s age and the blogger’s location, so let’s just say I hope to contact you for the next one!
In the meantime — everyone stay tuned for pictures!
Laughing out loud at your disclaimer! Well, if you ever have a trip to a fun place with kids (ages almost 3.5 and 1.5 right now), just call on me–I LOVE to travel. I keep getting invites to blogger “press” visits that are in the middle of a corporate park headquarters and no family invited. Usually they are in the Northwest in the middle of winter, too
. I’m flattered, of course, that big companies invite me as part of their very small group of bloggers…but I like to stay close to my kiddos!
Have fun, ladies!

I’m glad you’re laughing — I don’t want to lose any blogger friends! And of course you’re DEFINITELY on my list for future fun opportunities!
