I am thrilled/intimidated to announce that I will be presenting my mommy blog paper at an academic conference in the fall. I just found out today that my project has been accepted to the Internet Research 12.0 conference in Seattle in October. I am so excited about this, but also very nervous to stand up and present my work to experienced internet researchers when I just learned what reddit is like three months ago… I am an internet dunce. However, it will be a great learning experience for me and I am excited for a trip in the fall that will include seeing friends and family in Seattle.
When I told Micah the news he was very excited, and then he stopped and said “I thought you were going to apply to conferences that are in sunny places. Why would we want to go to Seattle in October?” True. Next mission is to get accepted to a conference in Hawaii…
But for now I feel blessed and excited and eager to continue working on this project. In celebration, allow me to post pictures of the top mamas of all mom bloggers…
