HMN's Natural Living Conference: BE THERE!

I am *so* excited for the lineup at the 2011 Natural Living Conference which will be held in Irvine, CA this year on October 1.

I've heard Robyn O'Brien's TED talks and I've seen her speak in person last spring. She is passionate about bring attention to the foods we eat and the foods we feed our children and the effects our choices have on ourselves and our children. I'm excited to hear her talk about The Unhealthy Truth About Our Food.

I'm also looking forward to hanging out with Mayim Bialik, who will be speaking on Parenting by Intuition: From Hollywood to Holistic Mom. Not just that she's amazing as Amy Farah Fowler on The Big Bang Theory (honestly, a favorite show of mine!) but that she is a *real* person who has *real* mommy issues and *real* dilemmas - like finding a holistic/green way to clean the toilet (as per her speech at the Down2Earth Festival in Boston where I was able to meet her in person.)

I am thrilled that I don't have to choose between Robyn and Mayim as speakers; both are keynote speakers at the conference in the main hall!

I do struggle though in trying to choose between the four workshops offered:

• Dr. Lauren Feder - Making an Informed Vaccination Choice
• Trudy Scott - Food & Mood: 9 Steps to Calm Your Anxious Mind
• Jennifer Taggart - The Smart Mama's Guide to Non Toxic Living
• Jennifer Waldburger - Happiness Is An Inside Job  

I am also looking forward to spending the day with like-minded moms and dads, having an awesome lunch and spending time chatting and getting to know friends I only know online and... much to DH's chagrin, I'm *really* looking forward to shopping at the exhibit hall!
