2. About the Hosts- Double Duty Divas Bridgette (Experimental Mommy) and Cecelia (Cool Baby Kid) met while attending BlogHer 2009 and soon realized that they had more in common than running successful product review blogs such as working full time outside the home--Bridgette as a Lab Technician and Cecelia as an English Teacher--as well as each caring for their two small children. Without blinking an eye, Bridgette and Cecelia began brainstorming on ways to help each other succeed in the review blogging genre; they realized creating a network that encourages collaboration rather than competition would be beneficial to both brands they promote. Bridgette and Cecelia formed a niche of the most influential mom review bloggers, Double Duty Divas, LLC. Their team includes Renee Bigner(What Mommies Need), Angie Knutson (My Four Monkeys) and Jena Piazza, (Ramblings of a Healthy Chick). The Divas have managed several successful blog campaigns for companies interested in engaging with review bloggers while members of the network continue to promote each other.

9. #RevRet11: What People Are Saying “Reviewer's Retreat was one of the best conferences I have been to. The sessions were invaluable to any blogger interested in having a better review blog or even starting one. I'm grateful for the relationships built and for the friendships made with other bloggers while there. Brands should flock to Reviewer's Retreat to meet face to face with bloggers who are dedicated to writing reviews and have invested in their skills to blog better and build stronger partnerships. Tonia Sanders, The Chatty Momma @TheChattyMomma “Reviewer's Retreat was such a great way to connect with other bloggers and brands on a more intimate level. Never before have I left a conference and thought,’"I think I met just about everyone!’. What a great feeling to know that you can truly put your minds together, share and connect.” Felicia Carter, Go Graham Go! @GoGrahmGo “Reviewer’s Retreat was the first blogger event Musselman’s Apple Sauce attended. It was a wonderful team to work with and gain knowledge from. The intimate group made one-on-one conversations possible, and helped us to gain valuable feedback on our blogger outreach program. Sponsors shouldn’t feel like they have to be Coke or P&G to get involved; Reviewer’s Retreat can help any brand to expand their social media presence.” Pam Hinkle, Musselman’s
