Noo why did I have to find this on the 18th instead of the 17th?

Anyway, I was going to say that this product definitely would be useful. I'm eventually going to be moving and ugh you never know what situation you're going to run into. I remember when I was traveling once and one state's rest area recycled water... seriously recycled. The toilet water was murky green and scary and probably illegal haha. Also forget those stupid automatic flushing toilets that always flush when you're not done giving you a shower. Ew. :-/

Such a wonderful idea!

I have been waiting for something that would take the terror out of camping and outdoor concerts with Port-a-Potties. Finally! Way to go, GoGirls!!!

I love this idea...especially for my daughter...this would make peeing in a cup so much easier while on the road...(sorry for the TMI)....looking forward to find out how to order

LOL. When I first saw that,

LOL. When I first saw that, I immediately sent that to my friends bec I think we all need that, especially it is in an emergency when we are on the road or outside when there is no bathroom. Especially when we go out dinning and we really need to use the bathroom. I so need it! LOL. I can't hold for another hour to use the bathroom! lol. That is a clever idea for women!

I'm so wanting one of these!

AllThingsToNoOne — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 10:54:48 -0500

I saw something similar to this in REI (outdoor store) last week and immediately thought of the last camping trip with my family (all males). I also remembered the disgusting port-a-potty that even my 16 year old son would not use. This one looks even nicer and more durable. It's about time we had a product like this. I just hope it doesn't encourage women to stand on the side of the highway to relieve ourselves like we see so many men do. A little discretion, perhaps?

I brought my toddler in 2007

thisKat — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 19:07:03 -0500

And thanks to all the great planning by the BlogHer team it went really well. I had wanted to go to BlogHer for years but I was either broke, pregnant, or to chicken to travel with a kid. When I heard there would be childcare in Chicago (a city I knew b/c I'd lived there) I decided to just do it.

The childcare was really convenient, and I even did some accelerated bonding with Lindsay from Suburban Turmoil in the dark of the nursing/napping room. Iris was always an easy baby so she had a good time with all the kids. They were also really careful about her food allergies.

I took advantage of the in-hotel childcare one night, but I probably wouldn't do that again. It was expensive ($100 for a few hours!) and Iris was tired of being with strangers at that point. I brought her to the closing party and while she was adorable it was hard to talk to people. And we were both exhausted at that point. Catherine is right--it's probably easier to tote around a new babe than a fidgety toddler off her schedule. But you know your kid so do what works.

One great thing about Chicago is the free zoo at Lincoln Park, great for all ages. Maybe there should be a BlogHers-with-kids meetup!

This is exactly what I needed to hear....

The unvarnished reality. Thanks lady. *mwah*

If I did go, husband would come with me so that would make life a lot easier for certain. But still, I don't know if I will even be able to push myself to pack and get on the plane. If I could just teleport myself there I'd go for sure.

But it's all a moo point til the kid actually shows up. Til then I can't make any decisions... and if it's not soon, the decision will be made for me. (Which is sometimes the easiest way, heh.)

Visit my blogs at ThreeSeven (all that's irrelevant and amusing) and ecochick (all that's green, cool and Canadian).

I'm an excellent baby holder

ameliasprout — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 10:37:01 -0500

I'll hold any baby that needs holding. I won't be having any more babies of my own, so I have to get my fix somehow.

I hereby volunteer to hold babies

jaelithe — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 08:52:49 -0500

I used to be a nanny, you know. I'm a professionally trained baby-holder. I have references.

I remember seeing Jasper in the hallway at last year's BlogHer (someone was holding him for you). He was starting to get cranky so I went over to smile at him. Then you came out and you looked so flustered that he was crying, like maybe you were afraid that he was bothering people. But all I'd been thinking was that I was so happy you'd brought him because he was ADORABLE. I should have told you that at the time instead of rushing off to the next panel I was supposed to be at, and I'm sorry I didn't, and I intend to stop whatever I am doing and congratulate anyone I see with a baby this time. Because babies are more important (and cuter) than whatever politician or journalist I might be running off to see.

I'm practicing my baby swinging.
