I am really getting anxious for the SpouseBuzz LIVE 2 Event in San Diego. I am seriously fired up, after attending the Milblogging Conference, and I am ready to do it again.
I think you will be amazed at what a powerful experience it can be to share with one another in a group where we all have some common ground. I think you will walk away amazed, and inspired and empowered!
I have had a couple of e-mails asking questions about the event.....
Dear ArmyWifeToddlermom,
What are you wearing to the event? Is there a dress code?
That is a great question, frankly i have not yet decided what to wear. I might wear some white pants, or a denim skirt. In usual AWTM I will over pack like I will be living in San Diego for a month. I think the event is business casual. So dress however you feel comfortable. It is really a filled day.
Dear AWTM,
I am coming to San Diego, and I am excited. I do have a couple of questions....Is there a dress code for the event? Can I bring my laptop? Is the free childcare still available?
Dress Code, once again! Which kills me, frankly I never know what to wear. See the above answer! Bring your laptop, there will be a crash course on starting your own blog. Blogging is cheaper than therapy, an inexpensive hobby, and is addictive! It may also come in handy, if you already have a blog and want to blog the event live!!! I know I am going to try too.
As for the childcare, I do think there are some spots available. Remember the first 200 are free. So far we have 550 or so registrants!!!
ArmyWifeToddlerMom,
I would love to start my own blog, and I will be in San diego, do you think you would have a couple of minutes to show me how to get started?
There will be an entire panel dedicated to getting your own blog!! ENJOY!
OH and before I forget, don't forget gum. you will be meeting a lot of new people, and you want minty fresh breath! Bring pen and paper....you never know what you might need to write down. Do not forget to bring a calling card/business card if you have them. Networking is very important in the mil-spouse community. You may meet up with an old friend, or make a new one.
Oh and before I forget...pack some tissues. Heck pack a lot of tissue. Some of the ladies have some very touching and inspiring stories. Heck even I the resident tough guy, turned soft at the very first SpouseBuzz event. (Just when I thought I was going to win the award for military wife, that had gone the longest without crying. Oh and I made myself cry...which is even worse.)
So bring tissue...if not for you , well for the lady to your left might need them.
WE cannot wait to see you in San Diego!!
*UPDATE**** the daycare is full!!!
