Talking with the Traveling Mamas

The four dynamite women known as the Traveling Mamas have always been some of our most stalwart Family Travel Logue supporters (photo courtesy the Traveling Mamas.)

They hail from California, Louisiana, Arizona and the Colorado Rockies — I’ve known Jennifer, Shannon, Beth and Kara individually as writers, but now that they’ve banded together, it’s a lot easier to keep track of their activities!

We met in person for the first time here in Kansas City, where we are wrapping up the Travel Media Showcase conference.

I grabbed three of them in a hallway and we did a quick audio interview using my cell phone and the Utterz Web site.

Mama Shannon is not here because she’s tied up with post-Hurricane Gustav business in her Louisiana hometown; can you help out some Moms down in Baton Rouge, LA?

Sheila - What a wonderful treat getting to know you at TMS. We loved being the guinea pigs for your Utterz debut. Hope our paths cross again in person soon!

Hi MountainMama,

Face-to-face with my online friends is always a treat; seems like we already know each other ’cause, well, we do!

Shiela - I sooooo missed meeting you. Ack! This stinky hurricane season is no fun. Thanks for posting the link to the hospital needs for new moms. TravelingMamas love Sheila Scarborough. Sheila rocks!

Utterz, eh? That’s quite impressive what you can do with a cell phone. Fun to hear everyone’s voices from Kansas City TMS.

I look forward to meeting everyone in person one day.

@CajunMama - We ARE going to meet in person one of these days; I promise!

@Nancy - Yes, I was surprised how little background noise came through. We did the interview in a hallway near a noisy reception, but everyone spoke into my cell phone in a normal fashion. Utterz then turned the phone call into an audio file that you can post anywhere. Pretty cool.
