Enjoying your blog. Thanks for writing it.
I’ll be presenting at this conference on Friday afternoon and signing books for a short time on Saturday. Hope to see you all there!
Happy Wondering!

Oh, how I so would love to go!! If only they had travel grants or something…Or if my department funded me to simply attend really fantastic conferences–argh…Alas, the limits of a two-parents-on-grad-stipend-salaries budget. I’ll be there in spirit, though!

Thx Candace - you made my day. I know the feeling though - the more I viist food and consumption conscious blogs, the more I feel pulled to make new choices. The food is funny - I feel I’m taking in more and more information and feeling increasingly prone to make some significant changes. I’m not there yet, but the critical mass is accumulating.

Yippee Amy and TK! This will be fun, and Jessica, Marjorie, and Simple Family - please keep us posted.

Yes Midodok, they are on my radar, but glad to have you remind me again to explore/use them and to have you share with others! Thx.

I love that you have so much information! I am slowly schooling myself. I have gotten rid of every topless mermaid with boobs in the toybox. I would never buy a brat but I was unaware how much other crap was so inappropriate.
the more I read the less I want to buy. It’s like seeing the light and you can’t go back once you do.

Hey, thanks for the great suggestion. This looks like a fantastic conference and just a few miles away - hooray! Unless I’m vastly mistaken about my commitments for next April, I’ll be there!

OH. MY. GOSH. This is soooo up my alley. Now, if I can only figure out a way to get them to pay for me to go…..

That sounds amazing! And exactly why I am leaning towards moving to the east coast in the future. You guys have all the fun!

wow, that sounds awesome. i don’t have kids, but i think i just might go. i have two sets of friends who live in boston that i’m supposed to visit within the next year. perfect excuse.

Wow, this would be fantastic. I’m from Massachusetts, love it there, and have tons of friends and family there still, so don’t put it past me to show up. I’m now in Virginia, so it would be hard, but not impossible.

This part: a “special focus on how marketing contributes to the sexualization of young children” really interests me in particular. I die inside a little bit every time I see evidence of that happening…

This is one of those rare times I wish I was closer to the lower 48. I would love to go and to meet up with so many of the the bloggers I admire. Dang. Maybe you can tell them to hold next year’s conference in Anchorage. That’s only a six hour drive from me.
