You may have heard that I am the new Social Community Manager for Brica and loving it. Brica is focused on making products for families that give you time to enjoy the little moments. Whether you are in your home, out and about or up in the air, Brica is always working to find ways to make your life run more smoothly. Our motto is “Making Together Better”, and the team works towards that goal every day.
Brica helps make together better by providing parents with smart solutions with less hassle and less headache. Every Brica product is designed to work great, look good, be portable and easy to use.
We are excited to announce that Brica will be a sponsor of the Type-A Parent Conference here in Charlotte. The team can’t wait to meet the amazing bloggers and social media professionals that attend each and every year and see what is so special about this conference.
The Type-A Parent Conference is about learning, of course, but it is also about building professional relationships and real friendships. It is a conference that absolutely makes together better.
This year, Brica is offering a full sponsorship to Type-A including your airfare or gas, hotel and conference pass. How fantastic is that?
How to Enter:
Entering is simple. Brica wants to connect with you and hear your voice. We are asking that you write a post on our motto, “Making Together Better”. Isn’t that what we all try to do each and every day? We will highlight these posts on Facebook and Twitter and the team at Brica will choose a winner. Simply link your post up here and have fun reading what I am sure will be some great posts!
If you need a little inspiration, check out Brica’s awesome brand book. With tiny thoughts on smiles, hugs, steps, journeys, laughter and life it may just bring tears to your eyes. I love it.

This is AMAZEBALLS. Wait. Am I allowed to say amazeballs? Is that family friendly? I mean it depends on the dirtiness (dirty-ness?) of the mind that reads Amazeballs.
I’ll stop now.
Brittany April 18, 2012 at 5:11 pm
Amazeballs is fine by me. I think we are just trying to avoid the F word and such in sharing posts on Brica’s Facebook page. You are all kinds of awesome and I so hope you enter!
Jacqui @SnglPrntRetreat April 22, 2012 at 11:41 pm
Hi there! Quick Question. If we’ve already purchased our conference pass, will we just be reimbursed?
Thanks!
Jacqui

Jacqui, yes! You will be reimbursed for your ticket if you already have one. I hope you enter. I would love to read your post!

Thank you for the opportunity, I feel pretty lucky to have the close family that I do.
