I can not even begin to tell you how much fun I had at Blissdom.
I went in to this conference thinking…”What have I got myself in to?”
You do realize that this is a conference full of women, right? There were a few men. But only a few. The majority of the 750 attendees were women.
Any other time that you would EVER get 750 women together…you would expect drama. I hate drama.
But, at Blissdom, that wasn’t the case.
These women were nice. Not just nice, but wonderfully nice.
I felt like, for the first time, I was surrounded by people who “get me” and it felt so good.
I had a chance to meet so many of the women who I have been reading their blogs for years. It was almost surreal.
I have so many ideas that I think my head may literally explode right now. I feel scattered brained because I don’t know which idea to work on first. AHHHHHH.
I started a list. You know me and lists. I got so many inspiring ideas from these women and the speakers.
Did I mention that my awesome and talented roommate Jenn redesigned my header for me while we were there? Loving it. (You may need to refresh your window to see it.)
While I did enjoy every second of my motherhood break…I will say that by Sunday morning I was missing the boys terribly. Let’s just say, 4 days is my limit away from my babies. No longer.
Not to mention that they were being brainwashed by their dad while I was gone.
Ahem.
No worries. I hadn’t been home for over 3 minutes and I already had converted them back to thinking I was the coolest. Phew.
I hope to recap more of Blissdom when my thoughts seem more clear.
Don’t forget about Stop & Smell the Roses vlog link up coming Wednesday. I am super excited that some of you have already told me that you are planning to link up. The next best thing to meeting bloggers in person is getting to meet them through video.
