It’s finally here!!!! THE MAIN EVENT!!!! I am officially full term in my third pregnancy. “In the home stretch” as many would say. I’ve blogged about the fantastic nature of this pregnancy (if you didn’t read the post, you missed the sarcastic tone there). While I’d love to go into even more gruesome details on the latest developments (read varicose veins, compression stockings, involuntary farting), I actually have a figurative “baby” due 1 week before my literal baby and I must say I’ve become quite attached to this one as well. In fact, I’ve almost been developing it for as long!
When I blogged about working from home last week, I never really gave many details about what it is I’ve been up to, or who exactly I work for. Well today I’d love to tell you a little more about A Child Grows and our signature event The Brooklyn Baby and Family Expo! First and foremost, A Child Grows is the most popular parenting site for Brooklynites. It has become a go-to site for parents looking for everything from weekend activities, schools, and new local businesses to amazing giveaways and the latest educational articles. I’ve absolutely loved working for the two amazing women who own A Child Grows and was even more enthusiastic when I learned I would be working on their incredible signature event the Brooklyn Baby and Family Expo (BBFE). BBFE is the only expo of its kind in Brooklyn, NY. I’ve had the honor and privilege of working on it since last fall so I’ve become extremely invested in each and every person, business, and organization taking part in this event and it brings me great pleasure to spread the word on what we have in store for the NYC area on April 6, 2014 at St. Francis College.
The Brooklyn Baby and Family Expo will have everything from informational seminars covering different topics from financial family planning for baby to Q&A with Pediatricians from Mount Sinai Brooklyn Heights Medical Group. We have delicious food provided by Fresh Direct and musical performances by Little Rock-its and VeredMusic! Additionally, we have a variety of demos and two great book signings throughout the day. All this and I haven’t even gotten to the best part yet! Aside from our many AMAZING sponsors and exhibitors attending, we have a few very special guests joining us.
Brace yourselves and try not to pee your pants (must be a postpartum/pregnancy thing, right?)- A Child Grows is welcoming the one and only Jamie Grayson (aka: The Baby Guy NYC) back as our “Best Baby Gear” seminar speaker and joining us for the first time at The Brooklyn Baby and Family Expo is the notoriously hysterical mastermind behind twitter sensation The Honest Toddler– Bunmi Laditan! Bunmi is not only joining us as our esteemed keynote speaker for the expo, she will also be our master of ceremonies. I can tell you right now, she and Jamie will make a lethally funny team working in such close quarters throughout the expo. This guarantees to be a fantastic day!
So if after reading this, you just can’t even contain your excitement anymore-head on over to the A Child Grows expo page and buy tickets!
Not that you’d need ANY other incentive to attend the expo at this point, but in case you do, we also have enough gift bag swag to make even the local celebrities salivate! All VIP ticket holders will walk away with an amazing BECO Soleil carrier among many other must-have parenting items! Plus all ticketed attendees will have an opportunity to win any one of our fabulous raffle items– totaling over $20,000 worth in prizes!
I don’t honestly believe you wouldn’t want to attend at this point (unless of course you don’t live in NYC- but that’s not saying it’s not worth the trip in!) Regardless maybe I need to add a little suspense. Would you believe me if I told you I take my job so seriously, I planned this birth right down to a delivery at the expo? Because I can’t think of anything more appropriate for The Brooklyn Baby and Family Expo than witnessing a birth!
….ok so I didn’t plan it that way…but it just might happen if the baby is anything like his mom- one who likes to make a strong first impression!
