Heard about Bloggers on Bourbon (#BOBNOLA)?

Dont miss out on MomDots next BRANDCATION event for 2010 where bloggers create real relationships based on conversation and lasting memories.

NOVEMBER 5th-7th, 2010

Orlando, Florida

The theme of our November Event is ADVENTURES IN ORLANDO. Your ticket price will include your accommodations from Thursday to Sunday in a luxury home in Orlando, complete with kitchen and pool for a once in a lifetime experience while you discover all that Orlando has to offer!

Parties, great food, and relaxation!

You will find no classes at Brandcation events, but rather real life conversation in an environment conducive with learning and growing. Contrary to its name, Brandcation isn’t about the brands, but about creating a lasting memory that brings home what you do every day online with people you love. However, we work closely with brands to help make this an amazing event with their support. They assist us in keeping the cost down and the focus on what its about – YOU – and NOT your wallet.

For this event, our main sponsor is Global Resort Homes:

Direct quotes from three past attendees:

“Blogging for me has become stale. But because of this meetup, I really am more inspired to participate again. I learned that the connections with other bloggers has such great value.”~

—————

“I learned more about making money on my blog and how vital real relationships are!”~

—————

“It took the blogs away from the people but brought in the networking and social aspect of what we do everyday.” ~

—————

Over the next few months as we partner with businesses in the area, we will reveal planned meals and specific events that will take you from virtual to reality included in your ticket. We want you to tour Orlando like you have never seen it before, sans Mouse. We ask that you join the MomDot forums at www.momdot.com/forum in order to follow along on everything we have planned!

So what are you waiting for? Join 30 of your closest (or soon to be closest!) online companions in a Global Getaway in Orlando, Florida!

Purchase Tickets Here Now!

Requirements:

  • Must be current blogger active in social media and PR friendly. While this event isn’t about the swag or the brands, it is about thanking them for supporting the event.
  • Must be willing to thank all the sponsors via your website after event conclusion
  • Must attend all events (unless sick)
  • This is a no spouse and no child event. Each blogger will be paired with a roommate in luxury home. This is part of the goal -bonding and relationship building.

Please note:

  • Please note that we have full adventures planned for Friday, so please check in on Thursday night (remember accommodations are covered)
  • Tickets are non-refundable

MomDot:Where the Blogging Moms GoMomDot has hooked up with Skype and are giving TWO WINNERS a free Skype Unlimited World Subscription plan voucher and a Logitech Quickcam Pro for Notebooks!

How awesome is that?

skype_logoSkype is a great way to connect with friends and family all over the world! I have used Skype before to talk to friends.  I used it like a regular phone.  I have never used the video calls on Skype, but that would be so cool for my girls to do with my family!  None of them live in Texas so it would be fantastic to video chat with them!

I hope I win, but I’m letting you know anyhow…just so I have an extra chance!  Anyhow…if you want to win too go on over there and enter!

I am a procrastinator…plain and simple.  I have no excuses.  Just life getting in the way.  You mom’s know how it is!  I also can not bring myself to spend $4-$5 on something that will get tossed in the trash soon after being read. What a waste of money!  Money that could have bought me a good coffee.  Yea, maybe that is selfish…atleast I am being honest!

Finding a great site like Got Free Cards, that offers Free Ecards makes my day!  I can just zip one off through email and it’s taken care of!  I can even get a Free Printable Cards for those that live here, heck I don’t even want to pay for a stamp!  Yes, I know..what a cheapskate!

I’ll be sending everyone Free Birthday Ecards this year!  That is if I can just remember…like I said, life…it gets in the way!free-ecards-logo

Here are some facts:

  • Sending an e-greeting with Got Free Cards is always FREE. There are no hidden costs to send or receive cards, no matter which type or category of card you choose. Every card on our site is free to send and free to receive.
  • No registration is required!
  • Your information always remains private and is secure at Got Free Cards.

You can even add photos and music to your Ecards!  I don’t know about you, but for me this is a life saver.  No more stressing about what I forgot.  I can simply zip one out over the net!4thjuly

The 4th of July is coming up!  They even have cards for that!

I am participating in “Jump Start Your Blog Contest” sponsored by Got-Free-Ecards and MomDot.
