If you’re reading this you probably have a kid. And you obviously read blogs (thanks!)
But do you have a blog yourself? Are you thinking of starting one?
Then you have to get your cute self to a Momz Share event! These great in-person networking parties just started this year, thanks to the genius of Hip As I Wanna Be’s Jennifer Gerlock and Chicken Nuggets of Wisdom’s Lara Di Paola.
The second event was held this weekend at The Little Gym of Silver Spring (a SUPER party space, for grownups as well as kids!) and packed more fun into three hours that I would have thought possible:
- $1,400 was raised for The American Cancer Society in honor of Susan of Toddler Planet‘s activism and bravery. Thanks to Chief Bit Mom Tech Savvy Mama Leticia for coordinating the mondo donation of $1K from Bit Defender. There was almost $400 raised from additional raffle items donated by area businesses, coordinated by the Momz Share gals and Sunday of Extreme Parenthood, the founder of the Relay for Life in support of Team WhyMommy.
- Lauree Ostrofsky of Simply Leap hosted a life coaching session on finding your passion.
- The Souper Girl of Silver Spring brought her yummy vegan soups – you can have these healthy soups delivered right to your door for easy, kid-friendly, health-conscious and delicious meals.
- Desserts by Theresa Luongo, Chief Sweetness Officer of Treets.
- Savory catering donated by Done Right Catering.
- Sarah Pekkanen, the amazing local author of The Opposite of Me, was there in spirit – she donated TEN signed copies of her new novel!
- More donations of awesome raffle items were provided by La Papillon Spa, Peace Love Lip Gloss, Bring It To Fruition, The Round House Theater, The Maryland Science Center, Port Discovery, The National Aquarium, Tuscan Home Decor & Design, All things Italian, Certifikid, The Melting Pot of DC, Be Lifestyle MedSpa and Simplify Organizing.
- Scary Mommy – You already know this woman is a wonderful writer, an incredible humorist, mom blogging resource and shutterbug, but she’s also a fabulous co-worker and friend.
- Resourceful Mommy – If you’ve ever been to or won swag from a Twitter party, thank this chick. She invented these online get togethers! And she is down to earth and delightful and adorable.
It’s My Time To Write – a truly great professional writer and mother just began this beautiful blog

Thanks so much, Jessica, for your hard work in putting Momz Share together along with Jennifer and Lara–and thanks a MILLION for this incredible re-cap post. We are so lucky to have had incredible sponsors, fantastic prizes, wonderful–sinful!–food, and to have raised a TON for the Relay for Life.
