Despite it only been a month, #DPCON13 seems like a world away now.
But there are special memories I took home after the conference that will no doubt stick around for a lifetime.
The Mother Tongue session is definitely one of them.
Tucked away in a little basement at Curzon Hall, a group of us had the rare opportunity to get to know some bloggers a little more intimately as they shared their personal stories. There were tears and laughter. But above all, there was a profound sense of community spirit going around.
And you know me, I’m all about community.
Brenda Gaddi, the brainy act she is, has decided to turn The Mother Tongue into something bigger. Like, extravagantly bigger.
She’s hired a theatre (you know, with seats, a stage and stuff). There’s going to be sound checks and rehearsals. And of course, a great line up of bloggers who will be speaking. The list might even include yours truly. Maybe…
There’s also going to be an after party! I haven’t quite figured out the logistics to that one just yet but it will no doubt be a stone’s throw away from Darlinghurst Theatre and somewhere in the heart of Sydney’s party central, Kings Cross.
Watch this space!
Tickets are $30 so, buy yours here.
I’m predicting a lot of emotion, friendship and love that day. The community spirit will be soaring through the theatre roof.
You’ll be kicking yourself real hard if you miss out.

I would love to go but there is no way I can get there on a Friday afternoon at 4:30pm with Sydney traffic. 🙁
I’d have to leave work at like 2:30 to even have a chance! The downside of living out west!
However I’d love to come to the after-party and hopefully that is ok? As long as I can organise a baby-sitter, and I’m sure I can con one of my sisters or SIL’s into it. Just one question…will there be karaoke?

Loving this and Mother Tongue sounds fabulous. Not only do I get the honour of teaching your beautiful twinlets each week, I am so happy to have connected with you and other awesome mummy bloggers. Thanks so much Grace Love and Light Leonie Yoga Mum
Sounds like a great event! Hope I can get organised enough to attend! You will be a brilliant speaker no doubt Grace!
Winnie @ Bubfriendly recently posted..Another ” bundle” on the way!
that sounds so lovely, I am sure I would be a blubbering mess listening but lovely. Any plans to tour and cover the Sunshine Coast at anytime?
I can’t wait for this. Already put in my ‘save the date’ with Man. Save the date coz you’re babysitting.
That’s very good news from the DPCon13 organiser extraordinaire Ms Brenda G…and I am certain it will be a great time had by all. Tissues required for the laughing and the crying. I am certain your gig will be awesome Grace. D x

it’s the blog. Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
