ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM APRIL 2011. I’m back from another blogging conference.  Mom 2.0 was a great conference.  Really great.  But I just don’t know how to recap a conference without saying the same thing I’ve said after every conference I’ve attended.  Conferences are such a wall of overwhelm for me, and even I’m tired of hearing myself repeat how much angst and anxiety they cause.  But just to recap, here are some of the emerging themes from this . . .

I’m gonna go ahead and call it.  In the contest of “most awkward google search term ever”, I win.  For all of time, I win.  This was what I discovered in my search term analytics today:  (Spontaneous emergence of proglottids from the anal sphincter. Leading to this post.)*Confession: My involvement with Blogher means that, on occasion, my post titles show up on the sidebar of other blogs.  Several of those blogs are . . . how . . .

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MARCH 2011.   Sometimes I envy those Amish.

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2011.   I flew home from Arkansas last night – I had an incredible time at the Idea Camp.  It was an amazing and comprehensive look at orphan care, and there were so many inspiring speakers, most of whom are running NGO’s that are doing amazing things to keep children from becoming orphaned in the first place, and then to serve the children who have been abandoned or who have lost their families.  A sobering statistics: . . .

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2011. I am working at home today – trying to catch up on assignments before I leave for Idea Camp, and trying to suppress my inner whining as I sit inside on a holiday with gorgeous weather.  Mark took the kids down to grandma and grandpa’s.  Meanwhile, I keep getting mysterious emails from the online geocache forum with random clues.  DId you look under the rock?  Did you turn at the welcome plaque? It’s there, keep looking.
