It’s that time of year again; the time to party like a blogger! Welcome to our party room! We’re the gals of One2One Network and we’re delighted that you could stop by!

Paula, Maryellen, Amber, Barbara, & Malia

That’s us at BlissDom ’12 a few months ago, hanging out at The Lorax party. What a fun night! If you were at BlissDom, you’ll remember our booth as the place to get head shots! Some or all of us will also be at Type-A Parent, Evo, and BlogHer this year. If you’ll be at any of those, we hope we get the chance to meet you in person!

If you’re a current O2O member, welcome back! It’s good to see you again. If you’re new, we’re thrilled that you are here!

This is Nan. Hi, Nan! She’s a blogger, a mom to two terrific kids, and a wife. She lives in Texas but if you look at her Pinterest Shoes! board, there’s not one single pair of boots, Nan likes heels! Nan was one of three O2O members to win a BlissDom conference pass from our December giveaway!

O2O: “What is your best memory from or the one thing you felt you really took away from BlissDom ’12?”

Nan: “I came away from Blissdom with that same desire I used to have to photograph the world around me. To live my dream with my camera not as tool but as an extension of me, of who I am.”

I’m known for…advocacy for special needs.

I’m working on…getting back to photography which I loved but let go of.

10 years from now I…hope to still be blogging and sharing and selling my photographs.

I’m currently addicted to…twitter and have been since I first started with it.

I find joy…in my children’s loving eyes.

My secret ambition…is to be a travel photographer/blogger.

I can’t do without…the love and support of my husband and children.

I’m most creative…when behind my camera or with pencil/charcoal and art paper as that is what I love to draw with.

I admire…my son who even with all his struggles never gives up, dreams big, laughs, lives without fear, and loves the most genuine love possible.

When I grow up…I want to be like my friend Jennifer Houck. She’s been an inspiration and guide into the world of blogging to me from as far back as I can remember.

PC or Mac? PC mostly but have both.

iPhone or Droid? Droid

Coffee or Tea? Sweet Tea

Peanut butter – crunchy or smooth? Crunchy, love the crunch.

Three words my friends would use to describe me are: Strong, Supportive, Dedicated

Do you have a favorite quote that inspires you? Not sure if you’d consider it a quote or not but here is a line I like to remember: “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes” – Cinderella

For many people, this is a weekend full of long held traditions: Seders, egg hunts, worship services, and lots and lots of food. How do you celebrate this holiday weekend?

I can’t get through the title of this one from Mara at Be Nice or Leave without Tevye singing in my head! But it’s worth it for the funny and heart-warming memories that Mara shares about Passover traditions with her family.

Beth’s family has kept many Passover traditions but has also created some of their own as they raise their children.

Dying eggs is probably the most quintessential of the Easter traditions. Erin at My Thirty Spot shares the secret to perfectly boiling and peeling eggs. (We’re dying eggs with the grandparents tonight, so I’m about to follow her instructions!) And Sue from A Finger Click Saver has ideas for ways to dye eggs naturally instead of using artificial dye pellets.

If you’ve not decorated for the holiday and want some quick ideas, Cool Mom Picks has a round-up of fun, free printables. And Jen at Balancing Beauty and Bedlam has easy, frugal ideas for creating an Easter or Spring tablescape.

There will be many, many photo opps, be sure to print off or jot down this Photographers Easter Check-List of shots you don’t want to miss this weekend.

Finally, Romeo and Pugsley join the festivities proving they are more adorable than a bunny any time of year!

This is Sarah. She had a mind once, now she has children! Raise your hand if you can relate. #raiseshand. (That’s her blog’s tagline, btw. We’re not making any judgements on Sarah’s mental abilities…yet.) Sarah is In The Trenches of Mommyhood with three boys and a husband and she wittily documents it on her blog. She’ll also talk to you about running (or not running), bloggy stuff, and the things in her life that she’s hooked on or enjoying. Her love and pride for the boys/man in her life is evident every time she writes about them. So it was no surprise that she listed this as her favorite quote:

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.”

I’m known for…bad reality TV-watching. Dance Moms? Real Housewives? Yes, please!

I’m working on…trying to find a balance between motherhood and working full-time. I’m convinced there’s no such thing.

10 years from now I…will have 3 (practically) grown-up sons. Hold me.

I’m currently addicted to…Coke Zero

I find joy…In seeing my children happy and healthy. I find joy in my marriage. I find joy (and strength) in running.

My secret ambition…is to run the Boston Marathon.

I can’t do without…social media. Particularly blogs and Facebook.

I’m most creative…when writing true stories about my life.

I admire…the strong bonds that I share with my parents and all 3 of my siblings.

When I grow up…I wanna be famous. I wanna be a star. I wanna be in movies. (Because who doesn’t strive to be a Pussycat Doll, right?)

PC or Mac? PC. Sadly.

iPhone or Droid? iPhone. It’s attached to me AT ALL TIMES.

Coffee or Tea? Neither. Blech.

Peanut butter – crunchy or smooth? Crunchy!

Three words my friends would use to describe me are: Sarcastic, quick-witted and dependable.
