Community Keynote: BlogHer Voices of the Year

This past weekend Julie Cole, Tricia Mumby, Julie Ellis, Melissa Blais and Caitlin Madden from Mabel’s Labels traveled from Hamilton, Ontario to New York City for the BlogHer’10 Conference. Our fabulous BlogHer’10 Contest judges Kathy Buckworth, Erica Ehm and Scott Stratten joined us and our Contest winners Stacey, Kim & Laura for the event.

We loved meeting old friends that have known Mabel for years and reminiscing. We loved creating relationships with new friends while making plans for the future. Hugs were given out liberally and the overwhelming feeling of love for Mabel’s Labels was incredible.

Thank you all for welcoming Mabel’s Labels with open arms, open hearts and open minds at BlogHer’10. We are lucky to be apart of such an incredible community.

We have some BlogHer’10 swag leftover and would love to send it out to you to enjoy. Drop Caitlin a line at Caitlin (at) mabel (dot) ca and we will hook you up with some Mabel goodies!

Most mornings start with me on the computer, in my jammies,  sitting at a very sticky dining room table with an empty cup of milk to my left and a half-eaten banana to my right. Those are the usual leftovers from my toddler’s morning routine, which also includes requesting six different movies in the space of five minutes and repeatedly tackling the puppy in the same amount of time. My breakfast break will come later, after the writing, dishes, cleaning, dressing, playing, soothing, and re-cleaning are done. Which is usually right about lunchtime.

Welcome to my home, and to my life! My name is Stacey Nerdin, and as the winner of the Mabel’s Labels BlogHer ’10 Contest, I will have the great pleasure of sharing my thoughts, sometimes hectic life, and lessons learned with readers here at The Mabelhood for the next 12 months. That in addition to being able to attend BlogHer with the Mabel’s crew in NYC this weekend! I’ll be sure to come back next week and tell you of the fun we’ve had (and oh yeah, the things we’ve learned).

I’m currently a stay-at-home mom of five:  three daughters (16, 13, 12) and two sons (9 and not-quite-3). My husband and I began our family in Oregon, but are now living in the Houston metro  area because of an awesome job opportunity and the foolish thought that we’d get used to the humidity. I’ve been blogging for nearly five years and enjoy every aspect of it – the writing, the connecting, the meeting, the growing, the learning – all of it! My blog is called Tree, Root, and Twig, where I write about family, faith, learning, and life; my philosophy is that “everything’s connected.”

I look forward to sharing an enlightening year with you here at The Mabelhood!

Keep an eye out for more posts from Stacey here at the mabelhood, happening weekly!

Spotted: Mabel’s Labels Ultimate Back-to-School Combo in US Weekly Magazine! You can find our labels on the “Gadgets for Li’l Guys!” page of the August 16th issue of the Magazine. It reads, “Gwyneth Paltrow’s son, Moses, keeps track of his stuff with Mabel’s Labels.”

Pick up a copy today – it’s the one with the new Bachelorette couple on the front. Do you think they’ll be needing labels soon too?
