Lunchtime hostess: Toni Hargis
Wednesday, 23 June 2010
We've already got several tables designated as lunchtime discussion tables. Not every table is themed this way - after all, we figured y'all might want to do some table hopping, talk about topics of your own choosing, or mingle at the sponsor booths, where there will be lots of interesting things to talk about.
But the option of having a discussion about blog-life balance was just too irresistible. After all, all of the delegates coming to CyberMummy are already parents. Many of you also have part- or full-time jobs or side projects that keep you busy. You have adult relationships you need to maintain. Oh yeah, and you also spend a lot of time blogging and keeping up with your friends online. Who do you do it all?
We're thrilled that Toni Hargis will be leading this table discussion. Hargis is a Brit who has lived in the United States for twenty years. She currently lives in Chicago, with her three children (two teens and a seven year old), an errant pup, and an American husband in a house with too many stairs.
Toni blogs as Expat Mum, co-hosts the Pond Parleys blog, and writes for Mad Manic Mamas, PowderRoomGrafitti, and Expat Focus to name but a few.
In 2006 Toni published her first book, Rules, Britannia: An Insider's Guide to Life in the United Kingdom (St. Martin's Press) and is supposed to be working on a few more. In her spare time, Toni established Caring Kid Connections in November 2009 to provide funding for a small school in Ghana.
She is looking forward to learning a lot about blog/life balancing at lunch time!
