Have you ever seen those guest correspondents on the red carpet and wished it were you talking up celebrities and getting behind-the-scenes interviews? And I know I’m not the only one who got a kick out of watching Ross the Intern on Jay Leno; he had a heck of a lot more than fifteen minutes of fame. Well, now it’s your turn to be a guest correspondent, but instead of doing something lame like talking with Spielberg about his latest movie, you get to talk with the fabulous women behind the Moms Who Make It conference!
I am working with Quinn Curtis, the woman behind CreatedByMom.com, helping throw the biggest party plan this most awesome conference! The conference will take place on Thursday, July 16th near Salt Lake City, Utah. Quinn is all about empowering and inspiring women and Moms Who Make It is the ONLY conference dedicated to strengthening moms in all facets of life and/or business. This isn’t an event just for women entrepreneurs nor is it just for moms. It’s for any woman who is looking for powerful tools and insight to start or grow her business and creatively balance her personal life.
It’s a thrill for me to present two interviews that we did at the last Quilt Market in Houston. First up is amazing pattern designer Chelsea Anderson of Pink Fig Patterns, and second is fabric & pattern designer Lila Tueller of Lila Tueller Designs.
Enjoy our video interviews featuring the vast talent of these two amazing ladies, as they mention some of their hot items for Spring 09. If you are attending Quilt Market in Pittsburgh next month, be sure to pop by and tell them you saw their interviews on Boutique Cafe!
This week Boutique Cafe is excited to “party down” and join the Ultimate Blog Party hosted by 5 Minutes For Mom. We love their website, and are thrilled to be able to join in the groove with many mommy bloggers across the blogosphere.
Boutique Cafe has so much to offer, but don’t stop there listen to our past podcasts, shop till you drop in our Market and Spring Savings Guide, and come back often for our Daily Dish hot product reviews and BC FINDS! We’re your Cup of Couture and So Much More! Follow us on Twitter, add me as a friend on Facebook.

Ever wonder what is behind the vast online Twitter movement? It seems like everyone is talking about it.
The Today Show did an interesting piece on:
- how to Twitter
- Twitter lingo
- celebrities who tweet
and more!
The online influence of Digital Moms are in hot demand these days. In the second part of The Today Show’s series on Digital Moms, Ann Curry interviews Teri Walter Razorfish, and Wendy Piersall Founder and CEO of Sparkplugging.com. They also feature Melissa Garcia - Consumer Queen who saves money - snags coupons - promotes bargains - and educates other women how to do the same on her popular website.
“Moms want to hear from other moms. They don’t want to hear from a Corporate company. They want to hear from someone just like them.” - Melissa Garcia
The key to product success is knowing your audience, and with approx. 30,000,000 women online it’s essential to reach out to them through someone they trust. I’m sure many of us remember the backlash behind the Motrin ads on baby wearing. Moms spoke up online, and Motrin pulled the ad realizing that they had offended many of their target audience.
Moms are not only influencing other moms with their product reviews, but they are also influencing corporate America. Advertisers are now reaching out to these mom bloggers and site owners, providing free products for a recommendation on their sites. Wendy Piersall, gives her advice to moms who may be interested in providing a voice online, but also stresses the amount of work and time it takes before things payoff - it can take years. “It’s really rewarding” - she says.
For most, the opportunity to reach out online and connect with others is the biggest benefit of being a mom in the digital age. Social networks provide a chance for camaraderie and friendship.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on Digital Moms and Social Networking. How does this affect what you buy? Do you utilize social networks for friendship and support?
This isn’t our interview, but we felt this was so timely and important that we would share it on Boutique Cafe. Digital Moms Laura Fortner - CafeMom and Heather Armstrong Dooce joined Meredith Vera on The Today Show to discuss motherhood 2.0, and how approx. 30,000,000 women are now online.
Everything from raising a baby & connecting for support, to info seekers, groupsters, connectors - the reasons for being online go on and on. Boutique Cafe would like to know, why are you online? What does motherhood 2.0 give you? How does it enhance your parenting experience, and how does it take away from it? We’re excited to read your comments.
