I enjoyed the vendors but the lectures weren't really things I didn't already know or had already decided upon. My friends who went with us loved it! They got a lot of useful information and loved seeing all the awesome products. I feel that it definitely catered to parents who were expecting or had newborns. Our swag bag was filled with supplies for tiny babies that we had already outgrown. It was a good experience but I don't know if we would go again for anything but the vendor goods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-been-to-mommycon#post-2461265 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 11:24:19 +0000 MrsRcCar 2461265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one else have experience? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-been-to-mommycon#post-2461094 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 22:15:37 +0000 MrsRcCar 2461094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: great to hear about the swag. I didn't spring for a VIP ticket this year. Perhaps next year. We aren't super crunchy as in I don't cloth diaper much. I am excited to go!! </p> <p>@MrsB2012: how far would the closest one be from you? I am driving 3 hours to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-been-to-mommycon#post-2461086 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 22:00:11 +0000 MrsB2012 2461086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to go see the meeyoo booth there!<br /> I don't think we have mommycons in Canada, I'd totally go if there was one around here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-been-to-mommycon#post-2461078 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 21:49:26 +0000 littlebug 2461078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to one of the first in Philly. It was SUPER crunchy. I learned a ton, and it was very freeing and empowering as far as boosting my confidence with certain aspects of parenting (like nursing in public - everyone hanging out). But at the same time, it felt a little shaming because I'm not *that* crunchy. </p> <p>I did bring home A TON of swag, so be prepared for that. I went to a VIP event the day before and brought home a Maya ring sling, Babyhawk mei tei carrier, and Sage Spoonfuls food containers. The day of the conference there were a lot of vendors giving away free samples. And then I won a Clek Foonf! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ever-been-to-mommycon#post-2460999 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 19:04:59 +0000 MrsRcCar 2460999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a modern natural parenting convention.

Dh is mad at me.. but I'm like O'well ish happens we have a toddler, but he said "I should know better" :silly: :silly:</p> <p>And she may have gone to daycare with a white marker spot on her thigh..... oops </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tuesday-night-confessions#post-2305845 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 23:15:34 +0000 PawPrints 2305845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I figure the days are numbered when I'll still be able to eat junk food in front of LO without any negative consequences, so I'm using that as an excuse to stop by the donut or cupcake shop on almost every walk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tuesday-night-confessions#post-2305842 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 22:59:47 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2305842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate ice cream for lunch yesterday, and for I guess what might count as an early dinner today. Lactaid ice cream isn't bad! Or at least not once you've avoided ice cream for a year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tuesday-night-confessions#post-2305771 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 20:55:30 +0000 lovehoneybee 2305771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessicaMcB: 😂</p> <p>We're having a bake sale auction thing at work tomorrow, and I've "tested" the pumpkin pie fudge I made about 5 times... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tuesday-night-confessions#post-2305759 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 20:40:31 +0000 Astro Bee 2305759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS dropped his teething toy on the floor at Starbucks. I didn't have anything to wipe it off with because the diaper bag was in the car where I'd left it, thinking I wouldn't need it for a quick in and out. So what did I do when DS started crying right away? I "wiped" it on my pant leg, and stuck it back in his mouth. I figure every mom's done that at least once, but I did a quick, furtive look-around to see who had noticed. Eh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tuesday-night-confessions#post-2305753 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 20:37:14 +0000 mrsjazz 2305753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessicaMcB: that is the best story ever!</p> <p>I'm not feeling well and DH had a meeting so pizza and Daniel Tiger while I was on the couch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tuesday-night-confessions#post-2305745 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 20:33:09 +0000 Charm54 2305745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I "celebrated" my due date by eating junk all day. Seriously, the healthiest thing I ate today was probably DDs leftover Goldfish :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tuesday-night-confessions#post-2305743 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 20:30:40 +0000 Mae 2305743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could've made dinner.

The Dad was out on the playground with the kids while the Mom and I turned in the kids toys for ice cream. Then they asked for ice cream when it was time to leave and we said they were all out. It was really good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tuesday-night-confessions#post-2305647 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 19:29:37 +0000 ldh112 2305647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just convinced my husband to go get icecream at the grocery store AND take the 3 month old with him :) Drinking wine in the peace and quiet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tuesday-night-confessions#post-2305646 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 19:29:34 +0000 jhd 2305646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my toddler hasn't been very hungry lately but he always eats fries. he may have had a small fry while out shopping this afternoon so he would sit still in the cart. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tuesday-night-confessions#post-2305645 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 19:27:50 +0000 mrsrain 2305645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore PJs all day today. 14 weeks pregnant, 16 month old toddler at home...
