And gosh I hit submit too soon. Your kids are as adorable as you are! I can’t wait to see the catalogue. As a mom myself, I can just imagine how proud you are. A big pat on your back Katja! You’re phenomenal.

I tend to agree with Kim. It seem like there is not a lot of diversity in most of the “programs” out there that involves bloggers. One I can think of is Disney for example , I love Disney don’t get me wrong, but have they done anything for Asian/Hispanic Mombloggers like the mom mixer events they recently did for mombloggers? I’m just wondering is all. Just a thought to ponder on.

What an amazing opportunity. We love hanes undies (but I will say hanna andersson last better) for the girls.

Thank you for writing this! It seems that most of the things I’ve been reading lately about blogger-company relationships are about the ones that miss the mark. I was really looking for a story on how (or if) there were any blogger-company relationships that were working well and why.

Hanes is doing a great job working with bloggers and getting their message out in the social media space.

Looks like you all had a fabulous time!!!

Our Comfort Crew experiences have been amazing. I especially enjoyed getting to know the people behind the Hanes brand and learning the brand vision.

It is a great opportunity and an easy fit. I have five boys! Loving Hanes is like loving Motherhood and Apple Pie. How could anyone not? :)

Kim, that’s a great point, and I agree, thanks for pointing it out. Unfortunately I can’t say anything about how the people were chosen for the trip, they just contacted me and asked if I wanted to be part of it. The Comfort Crew members (Allison, Audrey, Melissa and I) got to invite the guests for the BlogHer party.

wow. way to go hanes.
i keep hearing about (and getting) TERRIBLE pitches from companies looking for bloggers to promote them and it is refreshing to hear that hanes is doing it right. (both in how they work with bloggers and doing things like donating shirts for the soldiers! that was terrific!) and including your families?!? AMAZING! any company that welcomes my kids too wins a place in my heart :-)
(we wear tons of hanes too – that would not be a hard product to promote at all :-)

Hello,

I love Hanes too. (My sons live in their tees and socks.) I really liked that they included the families in the trip. The only thing that I was not impressed with was the lack of racial/ethnic diversity of the initial trip (not the BlogHer party). There were no brown or black people and we buy Hanes product too… a lot!

(Knowing you, I am sure that you have probably already addressed that with the company!)

And your kids…I’d hire them too…they’re awesome!
