This may sound stupid but what is mommycon?

I'm glad you asked this is from the mommycon website "MommyCon is a boutique style convention dedicated to bringing modern parents and mothers-to-be together. Our focus is on natural and organic parenting methods and timeless tidbits as we journey through parenthood together. Our seminars and workshops include; babywearing, birth, breastfeeding, cloth diapering, car seat safety, natural health and medicine, baby gear, childproofing and so much more! We end our day with amazing giveaways and each attendee gets a gift bag from our sponsors."

The gift bag is well over the price of what you pay for your ticket in baby stuff and they have lotsnofnother free stuff you can win.. I won a breast pump this year and managed to score tickets to a VIP session with cottonbabies (a cloth diaper retailer) and also got another awesome gift bag they do also support bottle feeding and disposable diapers..so you don't need to feel like you have to breastfeed/cloth diaper/ baby wear on order to go and have a good time

My sister is just as excited to go again with me and she doesn't have kids and more than likely won't anytime soon

I'm disappointed in the locations this year.

I would love to go to the 3 day thing in Chicago but it's atleast a 6 hour drive for us. A toddler and a newborn + 6 hours in the car =not happening

Did they pay you to post this? 

Lizziesue07

What?
Everyone who posts about a product isn't necessarily getting paid to be excited.


Mommycon is lots of fun! So much information, other moms wrestling ther babies just like you... Oh and swag bags

@wisco29 to me it came across as very marketed too, not just excitement

Damn it says tickets are sold out for the california event, wish I knew about this sooner. Some of the seminars seem to be something I could have benefited from

None of them are even close to me. Boo.

mamacastro

Are you looking at 2015 or 2016? I know Seattle is having theirs next month, and then again in April..Maybe tickets are sold out for 2015?

This sounds like so much fun!! I'm scared that I'll buy a ticket and then pop before the date... EDD is 2/13 and it's coming to Atlanta on 2/06...

Me too! I wouldn't travel far for it but if it was close I would love to go to something like this.

Is this the same thing as Babyfest or are they two totally separate things?  I am going to Babyfest next month in Seattle which sounds a lot similar to this on November 7th.  My birthday is the 8th so going to this is my birthday present to myself!

@baby0708 I believe they are different. Mommycon in Seattle is the weekend of Nov. 21st. I was looking into going to Babyfest, but I'll be on my babymoon that weekend, so now I'm trying to decide if I want to do this one instead.

Also, happy early birthday!

Oh, ok.  That makes sense.  Thank you for the early bday wishes and I hope you have fun on your babymoon!
