I’ve had the chance to go to another conference, Mom 2.0 Summit. Yes, 2 in one month, with BlissDom first… gotta love it! There were some amazing women at this conference, having now met most of my blogging idols. Kirtsy and Opmom joined forces and brought together great speakers, bloggers and marketers alike.
As I love this blogging gig here at Make and Takes, I’m learning how to improve and help it grow. Mom 2.0 has helped me do just that, giving me some great knowledge, inspiration, and skills (nunchuck skills, bow hunting skills…) Here’s me and Guy Kawasaki! Thanks to Guy, I’m listed in the top 20 of Crafts at Alltop!
Here’s some of the amazing people I got the chance to hang with, first off my great roomies:
- Allison Petit Elefant
- April Sweet Life in the Valley
- Holly Marketing to Women
- Karen Chookooloonks
- Tracey Mother May I
- Jordan Oh Happy Day
- Jenny The Bloggess
- Kristen Cool Mom Picks
- Maggie Mighty Goods
- Gwen Gwen Bell
- Gabby Design Mom
- Isabel Alphamom
- Janice & Susan 5 Minutes for Mom
- Christy Christy Nelson
- Ciaran Momfluencial
- Jodi Mom Favorite Stuff
- Katherine Katherine Center
There was even rip roaring, booty shakin’, bra flying entertainment! Chris Mann performed live and even wore a Burger King bag on his head. We were also able to watch a Yanni Voices video performance. Nathan, one of the performers even came to answer our questions and sing on the fly! -watch their upcoming special on PBS.
All in all, it was a great weekend filled with beauties, business, and blogging. If you get the chance to go to a conference like this one, I highly suggest it. Next up is Blogher in July, who’s gonna be there?

I’m gearing up for BlogHer! So great to have finally met you!
Marie, I am so glad that I got to finally meet you at mom 2.0! I think it is funny that I had to go to TX to meet so many people from UT! :)
I am STILL missing Mom 2.0. It was so great to meet you, and I LOVE Make & Takes!!!
You make me want to start a blog just so I can join in on all the fun you have at these conferences! I have no idea where to even start, but I really enjoy living vicariously through you!
Just want to thank you again for the Fun With Ernie and Bert CD…my little ones love it and I love watching their eyes light up every time I play it! Thanks, Marie…You’re the BEST!
I forgot we had taken that picture lol.
Thanks for the recap. From what I read here and on other blogs, it sounds like a great time. I am jumping on the conference bandwagon…just registered for BlogHer last night!
It was lovely to meet you there! It was a real blast.
Sounds like a great time!
Recently discovered your blog via Pam. FABULOUS. I look forward to visting often, and have put your cute button on my sidebar. ooxx`jodi
Funny that, the most popular photos that I can find all over the web are from M2S…..are…of bloggers and Guy…including myself….I enjoyed that as much as any other part of the conference, I could have listened to him and Karen all day I think…I got to briefly meet you and say hello in passing at both Blissdom and M2S, next time we have to make it a point to stop and chat longer….lol or we could just kidnap Guy and keep him for our own entertainment purposes, just the 3 of us….hehehe great picture by the way
it was a pleasure to meet you Marie! so excited that SS is your blog of the week. what an honor!
