What is Momz Share? Momz Share is a series of events, held quarterly and hosted by a different, fabulous D.C. Metro Region blogger. It’s part Girls Night Out and part networking. But it’s ALL fun. Apparently, Maryland is overflowing with awesome bloggers. And pretty cool businesses willing to sponsor and support mom bloggers. I won a La Papillon gift basket with scented candle, scented lip gloss, lotions, etc for being the mom with the most kids. Score! Here’s a little glimpse at the fun (and networking) that went on this past weekend:
Jen (Hip as I Wanna Be) and Lara (Chicken Nuggets of Wisdom) are the founders of Momz Share, as well as our first hostesses (joined here by the gorgeous Rhea of Pro Mom Blogger whose 3 month old baby was about as cute as they get)
Nic from My Bottles Up and Joanne from Barely Domestic Mama — Love the iPhone picture!
Parenting by Dummies and I were asked to be the night’s photographers (check out more photos of the night on the Momz Share Flickr group)
I met Justice Fergie at Bloggy Boot Camp last week. We were lunch buddies. She is one fabulous lady, and I’m thrilled that I got to see her again!
Leticia (Tech Savvy Mama), Janine (Two-fer Mom) and Stimey (Stimeyland in the background) are a few of the original Maryland mom bloggers that I met over a year ago. I was coveting their twitter necklaces. Yum!
One of the bloggers I was most excited to meet was Jessica from A Parent in Silver Spring. She was the highlight of my night. Jessica is the ultimate local mom blogger and I was shocked when I found out that she reads my blog too. Jessica and I and my friend Safire, who came along with me, totally clicked.
I can’t wait for the next Momz Share event, hosted by Jessica later this Spring. Do we really have to wait til May?
PS–there are a dozen more fantastic women I wish I could link to or show pictures of, but I have run out of time. Just know that I loved everyone. And more pictures can be found on Flickr.
Until the next time….

Well that’s strange about the pictures. Earlier, only my pics could be downloaded and not Amanda’s. Hopefully everything will be sorted out when you go check them out. Glad we could chat!
I did! Aren’t girls nights great?!
I did have a great time! But please don’t be jealous. :)
I love your last blog post title. Heading over there right now! :)
Of course! Thanks for helping me not be nervous to go out and meet new people! You’re my security!
Yahoo! I linked up (but you probably noticed already). Thanks for letting me know (about that and the other stuff….)
It was great chatting with you and Safire on Saturday. I am also looking forward to the May event.
I am heading over to Flickr now to check out the rest of the pictures. For some reason on my phone it was only showing Amanda’s photos (which were great) but not yours.
I am really, really hoping I can swing the next one. :)
We really do have a jackpot of amazing women out here. I’m glad you made the trip out here last week!
Haha! I love that picture, though. It’s so real! ;)
It looks like you all had some terrific fun! *Smile*

Looks like you had a great time.

Your pictures are just simply the best way to put the icing on the cake of the Momz Share launch party. Jennifer and I were simply blown away by how many of you amazing ladies showed up, shared and networked. By the way I am not nursing a serious addiction to that tomatillo dressing!
Also our temporary Momz Share site (actually a page on Jennifer’s blog http://www.hipasiwannabe.com) is hosting a link up for recaps of this event and those to come!
.-= DiPaola Momma´s last blog ..Get a Sponsor to BlogHer =-.

I feel like I am living in the wrong area. How cool for you.

.-= nic @mybottlesup´s last blog ..i quit my sorority and i don’t do clubs =-.
Andrea! It’s so good to see you commenting on my blog! :) The candle is my favorite thing. It’s making my room smell so good! So when do we get to hang out??
What an awesome event! Looks like you guys had a blast…and that’s awesome you won that basket!
