This Week With the GeekMoms

Chaos Mandy is looking forward to attending the Can’t Stop The Serenity event in Charlotte, NC this Sunday. The yearly charity event gives her a chance to hang out with fellow Browncoats, dress up in a costume and watch one of her favorite movies!

Cindy‘s week started off on a high note with early access to Pottermore, but is ending on a sour one since she couldn’t get away from work to attend Maker Faire this weekend. At least she has Harry to keep her company.

Andrea can’t wait for Maker Faire NYC this weekend! She’s going to see John Hodgman in person, learn how to pick locks, and help man the GeekMom/GeekDad booth. Stop by the booth and say hi–there will be raffles, geek kids, and t-shirts!

Sarah is prepping for a two-year-old’s birthday party this weekend. Fifteen children and their parents will descend on her house for face painting, juggling and good food. Bring on the cake!

Laura is canning tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, and salsa while ranting about jobs created by small farms. She’s also celebrating her one-year anniversary on GeekMom by asking what YOU want covered by Geek Mom writers.

Brigid saw the launch of a new product line this week. It features some of her latest art. Secret Scents™ Perfume Lockets are so super awesome and are manufactured right here in the USA!
