on your mark, get set, bliss!! #BlissdomCanada

October 13, 2011 by Wendy S


Today starts the beginning of a few amazing, crazy days!!  It is the start of Blissdom Canada…with an Anniversary party thrown in the middle.

I’ll work all day today then head downtown to register for Blissdom! I can’t wait to see all my blogging, social media friends!  A lot of them I saw a few weeks ago at She’s Connected, but there will be others who I haven’t seen since last year!

Tonight the kick off party is at CBC Live!  And I’ve heard that we’ll even have a red carpet!  I’ll be sure to take lots of pics to share with you next week.

Tomorrow the Blissdom amazingness will continue without me.  Friday is also BigDaddy’s parents’ 50th Anniversary party.  I’ll try to sneak a peek at the #BlissdomCanada twitter feed when I can because I know that there will be a lot of laughs and tweets coming from the #MabelBliss party.

The girls are pretty excited about the Anniversary party tho.  They got new party dresses and new shiny shoes.  It will be nice to see family and friends come together to celebrate 50 years of marriage!

Then Saturday morning, I’ll head back in to Toronto for Blissdom Day 2.  I’ll be inspired by speakers, engaged by panelists and meeting and mingling with some amazing women.  The day ends with a Halloween Party!

It will be busy a busy few days…but so much fun!

Are you going to be there? If so, be sure to leave your name below so I can try to find you to say Hello!

That’s How SHE Blogs – YMC Party Mummy’s Blissdom Blog Tour

August 11, 2010 by Wendy S

YMC’s Party Mummy, Lisa, had the brilliant idea for all Blissdom Canada-bound bloggers to get to know each other.  She put together this fun little quiz!


1. Did you attend Blogher10?
No

2. Are you attending BlissdomCanada this fall?
Yes, and I blogged about the ticket purchase experience!

3. When are you at your blogging best – a.m. or p.m.?
Sometimes in the morning. Sometimes at night.  But mostly at night after the girls are in bed.  Strangely, I’m writing this post at 9:30 am.

4. How many blogs do you have? (Include the links)
Just this one — funny things are everywhere

5. What technical skill would you like to learn to improve your blog?
I’m trying to understand the importance of SEO.  I also need to learn better photography techniques and how to better use my DSLR and all it’s lenses.

6. Do you prefer the sound of silence or does action abound while you blog?
I usually will have the TV on or music playing.  Right now I’m listening to the Dean Blundel Show.

7. Do you include the names of your family in your blog?
No. I use my kids’ nicknames… Munchkin and Peanut

8. Do you post pictures or videos of your children?
Yes.  They’re adorable! Everyone NEEDS to see them.

Summer 2009

9. What’s the grossest thing you’ve spilled on your keyboard?
Peanut spilled her apple juice and now my ‘A’ key sticks. Not all that gross…just annoying.


10. Ever posted something you wrote while intoxicated?
I’ve never blogged while intoxicated.  While having a beverage, sure!  Now tweeting while intoxicated, that’s another story.

11. Do you go back and edit old posts just because you can?
Not just because I can, but because they need updating (ie. when giveaways are over)

12. Have you ever suspected somebody took something you wrote and pawned it off as their own?
No, but not a lot of people read my blog (yet) so I’m not sure who would steal my work. Secretly, I be excited to know that someone thought my stuff was good enough to steal. Kinda.

13. Does your spouse read your blog? What do they say about it?
Yes, BigDaddy reads my blog. Actually he even has privileges to post. He wrote about our date night!

14. What’s something cool/positive/unexpected for you, that has resulted directly from blogging?
Giveaways!
But seriously, I think that the connections that I have made with other bloggers is amazing.  There are a few blogs that I have to read everyday and we comment on each others posts.  We connected through Twitter as well. I’m looking forward to go Blissdom where I can meet some of the amazing authors that I read.

15. Link to a post (or two) which demonstrate your writing style:

child restraint installation tips
being a parent during a pandemic is bad for your blood pressure

16. Name a blog(s) that makes you exclaim, “Damn! I wish I’d written that!”

Out-Numbered
Elastamom’s Excerpts -in particular, the Flashback Series
attack of the Redneck Mommy


Want to play along?

Here’s what to do:
a) Cut and paste the quiz onto your blog.
b) Delete my answers (after carefully studying and committing each to memory. What?).
c) Answer the questions (feel free to embellish and totally make stuff up. I do it all the time).
d) Tweet a few of the bloggers you’d love to get to know better and invite them to play along.
e) Go to Lisa’s, leave a link to your blog where you’ve answered the quiz questions. You can comment here too…please!

someone pinch me

July 9, 2010 by Wendy S

sat at my computer all morning tweeting about the 12pm ticket release.    I was nervous.

Then at 11:57am I switched to the registration page and kept hitting refresh.  When the quantity drop-down box appeared, my hands started to shake. I clicked “1”.

Filled out the registration information.  It flipped to Paypal.  I logged in and confirmed payment. Moments later my Paypal confirmation email came.  Then the one from BlissDom events arrived.  It was official.

I’m going. Me. Little me and my little blog are going to…

blissdom canada

I can’t believe it!

Since this is the first time that BlissDom is in Canada, the early bird tickets sold out in a matter of minutes. I was fortunate enough to get one of those.

After getting my ticket, I jumped back in on Twitter and tweeted:

Blissdom Status

I also wanted to see who else got tickets.  There will be many people that I will meet for the first time and many people whom I’ll get to hang to with again.  (If you’re going, please let me know by commenting.)

This will be my first blog conference. I have so much to learn.

Someone pinch me.
