I’ve decided it’s high time I take my role as Michigan Mom for MomTV more seriously. Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Midwest Moms Media Brands and Bloggers Summit in Chicago and could not hide my pride over hearing the comment, “ANOTHER blogger from West Michigan?!” We were everywhere.
If you Tweet, you will appreciate that the hashtag for the conference, #bbsummit11, was trending in West Michigan Saturday.
We do more than just Tweet, though. There is a lot of awesome going on here, and it’s high time you knew about it.
Each week I am going to bring you a very small taste of some great blogging across the state. I know you’ll enjoy it!
West Michigan is talking about staying inside, being cool, and eating.
- JodiMichelle has a fantastic, inexpensive idea nicely packaged in a beautifully photographed post about Fort Kits.
- I can’t imagine being pregnant in this heat like Jen from Creating Chaos, and she wrote a nice post this week about making infused water. Refreshing…. hydrating…. aaah.
- Or you could just go out to eat, like Kelly the Kitchen Kop did. Read her review of Amore Trattoria Italian Restaurante in Grand Rapids.
- One way to keep your kitchen cool is by eating leftovers. Andrea from Simple Organized Living gives us some of her favorites.
Elsewhere in Michigan:
- Meg’s A Mommy shows how they built a container garden this spring, and what it looks like now! It’s totally managable and would work great in smaller yards.
- Mrs. Weber’s Neighborhood says that the Detroit Historical Museum is free all next week. I love free!
- Check out these drool – inducing recipes from “Just Short of Crazy” for “When It’s Too Hot To Cook Dinner Ideas ”.
Are you a Michigan blogger? Big or small; leave me a comment. I want to get to know you!
