Soiree: “an evening party,” 1793, from French soirée (from soir) “evening.”

Momzshare got together for another fabulous night of networking, chatting, and food this past weekend. Jessica McFadden of A Parent In Silver Spring hosted the event at the The Little Gym in Silver Spring, MD. We had over 70 bloggers from the DC Metro area in attendance! A big thanks to Jennifer from Hip as I Wanna Be and Lara from Chicken Nuggets of Wisdom for putting Momzshare together (many many hours of prep!!). Here are a few highlights of the evening (for me!) from my camera:
I got to hang out yet again with Angie from Seriously a Homemaker and Caroline from The Bingham Diaries (also the fabulous organizer of the Casual Blogger Conference….I’m flying out in 2 days!!). PLUS: Check out my new haircut!!
Angie won the raffle for the BitMoms gift basket (someone was very excited!!) Pictured here with Leticia from Tech Savvy Mama and Jessica from A Parent in Silver Spring.
Here I am again with a group of fabulous blogging friends, sporting birthday hats from the American Cancer Society (We all want MORE BIRTHDAYS!)
BitDefender donated a generous $1000 to cancer research, specifically for American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life and Team Why Mommy, anchored by Sunday of Extreme Parenthood and in honor of our friend Susan of Toddler Planet.
And it wouldn’t be a soiree without yummy food (from Treet), right? See those cupcakes there? Completely gluten-free, and absolutely heavenly!
OK, now I MUST get back to work. There are so many more details to share about the night, but you might just have to check out my twitter stream or the momzshare flickr group for more details. I’m swamped!

I’m sorry we didn’t get a chance to meet! I’m thinking in order to meet everyone properly (ie enough chat time to really get to know peeps) we need a weekend! Have fun at The Casual Blogger Conference!
And I agree with Francesca…cute hair cut!

Let’s start with the important stuff, I LOVE your new haircut. You look amazing and are going to knock everyone’s socks off at the CBC. Time to update the profile pic, my friend.
Second, I had no idea that so many bloggers attended the event this week. What fun!
Good luck to you with your speaking engagement. I know you’ll do wonderfully. Let’s plan to talk on the phone when you get back. We need to catch up!
