I’m your TRIBE LEADER… (giveaway)

by

for a little over 48 hours anyway.

In approximately three weeks I shall be hauling my misfit arse to North Carolina (Raise up!!) to attend the TypeAmom conference.

(For those of you unfamiliar it bears clarification you need not be a mom (there’s a DadTrack & plenty of NONmoms attending), a grownup (there’s a KidCon) or TypeA (Im as laidbackdisorganized as they come) to attend.)

Yes Im excited to meet a plethora of new-to-me bloggers (from moms to scrapbook. from moneysavingtips to hardcorerunnerpeeps).

Yes Im over the flipping MOON excited these peeps have generously agreed to sponsor me for the event:


Attune bars are probiotic‘tastic, gluten-free, & most important to this intuitive eater: TASTY.

(Check this article out for more info phrased better than I ever could have…)

YES Im excited I’ll have the opportunity to serve as our Tribe Leader while there.
What does this mean?

  • In my mind it’s kindasorta a Fitbloggin 10.5. A chance to hangout & chat.
  • I will serve as conversation facilitator for a round table of healthy living bloggers/blog readers.
  • It’s an opportunity for us to gather in real life & talk about all the things we discuss “virtually” on a daily basis.
  • It’s what you want it to mean. In my mind as Tribe Leader I’ll launch the post (briefly) & as always the comments (yer discussion) will eclipse my initial musings.

Now you.

Are you coming to TypeAMom?  Have I convinced you to join me? Please to let me know in the comments.

Not typeA’ing (why does that name make me giggle) but have questions you wish you ask at the round-table? Please to plop those below as well.

Never seen, tasted or HELD an Attune bar? Interested in connecting with this brand I love, trying em out & reviewing them on  your blog?

Please to leave your *EMAIL ADDRESS* in the comments below so Attune can contact you.

  1. Lovely entry. I just stumbled upon your blog or wanted to express that I have really enjoyed reading your blog posts. Any way I’ll be subscribing to your feed together with I hope you post back again soon.

  2. I’ve never heard of this conference and it’s too far for me to travel to get there.

    I would love to know how other bloggers come up with their ideas for posts!

  3. I’ve never seen the bars before.
    Is there a way to try them if I am not a blogger yet?

    And congrats!!

    Of course you are our Tribe Leader.

    xo

  5. Ow- I’ve heard such good things about the flavor of these bars! I want to try! I wish the conference was in S carolina so we could meet up. Sounds like a fun event. I have NEVER been to a blogger event. I would LOVE to go to Food Buzz in Nov…and I want to review and try these bars (did I mention that ;))

  7. I’ve tried these before, and they were quite tasty! So you have a tasty sponsor!

    No Type-a-Mom for me.I thought about it, but the ‘mom’ part of it made my decisions for me. 🙂

    Have a great weekend!

    • THANKS FOR ADDING YOUR EMAIL!!

      plop or as SHAUNA SAYS POP in your comment so that the Attune peeps can contact you to send samples etc.

  9. I emailed you a while ago after Fitbloggin was announced.

    I would love to hear about how I can find a sponsor?

    That is what I would ask at a round table.

  13. The conference sounds cool – how wonderful that you got a sponsor! Why does no one hold a conference here in Texas? LOL, I know…too darn hot! 🙂

    As for Attune – I LOVE THESE BARS!!! I have an open box in my fridge right now. I’d love to get samples and do a review on my blog – my email is 40somethingsjourney@gmail.com. Thanks!!!

  16. It looks like two companies made very wise decisions: First, TypeAmom for having you lead a round table event on healthy-living, and then Attune for being your conference sponsor.

    While I will not be able to attend the conference (because I will be at the TypeAsingle-girl conference. Kidding!), I will be able to hold Attune (arr, arr!). I just popped over to the Attune website and checked out the ingredients list, nutrition facts, and benefits of these bars and they get my seal of approval.

    I’d love to try them out (hello, only 80-90 calories!) so I used their store locator and found they carry them at my Whole Foods so you know where I’ll be headed this afternoon.

    Thanks for the 411, Miz! I’ll be looking forward to hearing what you learn and who you meet at the conference.

    [And Attune, I’d love to connect with you, as well. My email address is joanna.sutter@gmail.com]

  18. I, too, thought the event was only for moms!!
    I live really close and am thinking about beginning a fitness blog so you may see me there 🙂

    I would love to hear other people’s experiences on gaining a blog following.

    How long etc.

  21. I’ve never heard of Attune bars, but I live out in the middle of nowhere, so we don’t have very many options here.

    I’d love a chance to try them. You mean I can have my chocolate healthy?

  22. I keep hoping that I’ll read one of your posts and see that the Miz is coming to the Chi… but alas, no luck. One day… I R missing you!

    I HAVE heard of attune bars, but i’ve never tried them! They sound like something that the bar-o-holic husband would love to bring to student teaching.

    Hey Attune, contact me at mara@imadedinner.net, I’d love to review 🙂

    • I laugh Mara that I have a potential meeting in chicago….as soon as I can get there.

      as soon as my bank account agrees with my plans 😉

      Im coming….

  24. I don’t think Attune could have asked for a better partnership, as you are indeed The Mayor.

    Can’t believe we’re gonna be in the same state.

  32. would love to try the bars, as i am in the process of trying/reviewing thier Uncle Sam cereal that i won from fittoindulge.com

    my email is boutdrz@gmail.com

    i have a cousin near asheville, and sent her the link to the conference. i TOTALLY think she would enjoy it!

  33. Not doing Type A…had a less-than-positive experience with the site, so I haven’t spent much energy there.

    At the round-table, I’d ask, “What’s your number 1 healthy-living blogging secret? How do you find the time not only to ‘Just Do It’ (‘it’ being eating right and exercising) but also write about it as well?”

    I’d love to try the Attune bars…I haven’t seen them yet. You can find me at sandwiched (at) comcast (dot) net.

  37. I had quite the blueberry vanilla Attune addiction but it’s on my list of things that I like that got the ax; it’s probably a regional ax but I miss them nonetheless…

  38. I wish I could get my buns over to TypeA… but not this time. AND I’d love to try an Attune bar. I thought you said GLUCOSE free and I got all excited. Gluten free doesn’t really mean anything to me. Does it have a lot of sugar? Carbs? If so I can’t but if not… I’d love to try. Foodiemcbody AT hotmail DOT com!

    • Foodie, they’ve got pretty good stats. The amounts vary, but according to their site, the probiotic chocolate bars have typically have 3-8 grams of sugar. My favorite, the dark chocolate raspberry, has 90 calories; 6 grams fat, 12 grams of carb (3 grams fiber, 8 grams sugar), and 1 gram protein. It has crunchy little freeze-dried raspberry bits in the chocolate.

      I wouldn’t use them for meal replacement, but they make a nice dessert or light snack.

  39. I would love to be there, but funds are sadly short to make it to the other coast. I’m looking forward to reading the recaps, though. I have never tried Attune, but if Miz loves them, I know they’re the real thing. ajourneyof262miles[at]gmail[dot]com

  41. Oooh, ooh, me!

    I have heard so much about these bars, but have been unable to find them in ANY grocery store I have entered into. So I would love to try them!

    Email is destinationathlete at gmail dot com

    Thank you so much for doing this opportunity Miz – you rock!

  42. I thought it was only for moms also. I’ve heard of these chocolate bars before, but have never had the chance to try one! I’m sure you wouldn’t endorse them if they weren’t good!
    lacey@laceyquiggle.com
    Thanks, Lacey

  43. Carla, you are such a role model so I can’t think of anyone better to be doing this! You are amazing!!!

    I am a stepmom but was never made out to be a “mom”. I tried but could have done much better. I guess I am more a fitness fanatic!

    I have seen the Attune bars but have not tried them & me AND MY BODY would love to try…

    jody@truth2beingfit.com

    Thx Carla & can’t wait to hear more!

  44. Hurrah! Can’t think of a more fitting TRIBE LEADER for the healthy living blogger community at the Type A Mom conference; so glad you have a sponsor to send you! (Although it made me giggle a bit; you seem so NOT a type A personality.)

    I adore Attune! They are seriously yummy. I like a little dark chocolate in my life, and their 20 gram bars are the perfect size; the probiotics are a nice plus! (My kids loved them, too; they got to try a sample at the See Jane Tri event last year.) I’d be ever-so-happy to review them on my blog. Here’s my email: pubsgal@gmail.com

    I’m a mom, but I’m not type A, I’m type 2. 😉

  45. Girl you are our Mayor 🙂
    LOL @ MrsFatass’ comment.

    I would love to learn about sponsorships, too.

    I went to blogher and felt as though I were the only woman who paid her own way.

  46. i’m a huge fan of the blueberry crisp bars, but i hear they have granola and other flavors that i haven’t tried before!!

    tri2cook @ gmail.com

    thanks miz 🙂

  47. I am certain they make the best choice with you mis. Facilitator you are! Don’t do reviews but thanks for asking.

  48. Travel offers when it involves flying you will discover quite a few, as competence for Thailand is quite substantial and on this situation journey companies are strongly fighting one with every other. This, inside the end, lets us discover some really great offers. The thought from the article is within a standard method to encourage you to always look for this particular delivers to be able to journey affordable to Thailand and to anyplace in the world, to by no means limit your self to what you see on your very first searches, but additionally, and becoming conscious that this is a restricted time present, I desired to share with you for free 1 of my findings early this morning.

  53. Lori is always eating attune bars and I’ve looked for them in the store but can’t find them so I would love to try them bbubblyb@gmail.com. Hope you have a terrific trip hopefully I’ll get to see you again in Baltimore next year.

  54. I would love to learn about:

    Balancing family and blogging.

    How to get sponsored for conference and events.

    Ways to monetize my blog.

  56. Hi Carla. You are coming to my hometown. Unfortunately, I won’t be here as my husband and I are going away for our anniversary. However, if you would like recommendations on restaurants (we love good food) or anything to do, give me a shout. nlehma2@yahoo.com

  58. Not sure what it says yet I, too, would ask about sponsorships, monetization and LIFE BALANCE!

    So glad they picked you.

    LOL @ the MAYOR—you are indeed.
