I just went to the
Build Your Blog Conference
this weekend & I had a wonderful time.
If you have a goal to improve your blog,
I really recommend attending a conference!
I met so many wonderful bloggers!
And I got to see my buddy, Brooke Walker.
I'm so flattered when people tell me we could be sisters.
{Except it's more like I could be her mother!}
Anywho, she was the keynote speaker & I love her!
{I couldn't find the name for some of them -
if you know the ?'s would you please leave me a comment?}

{L to R} Maria from Two Peas & Their Pod, Laurie from Nature's Knockout, ?, Ashley at Flats to Flip Flops, Holly & Nat, me
I was particularly thrilled to see the two
people below . . .
Amanda from Kevin & Amanda was a guest speaker.
Her blog was one of the first I ever read
& I've loved it ever since. So great to her in person!
When I asked if I could join the bloggers at the table, above,
this little sweetie stood up & came over to me.
She said, "I know you Michelle!" & gave me a hug.
Her name is Carly from Old Farm Road.
{I didn't recognize her because she's grown up a lot since she used to play with my little boys.}
Carly, seeing you absolutely made my day!
Many thanks to the Six Sisters &
their family for a great conference!
How much fun is this???
ReplyDeleteYou have so many look alikes and I loved Megan from Brassy Apple's hair soooo much, I might just steal her hairstyle.
Also loved the chevron sweater that one girl was wearing....cute and so trendy.
Fun!!!

It was so fun meeting you, Michelle. In your sixth photo, the lovely, Maria Lichty, of two peasandtheirpod, is in the bright geometric print dress on the left. She and four other foodies presented at bybc13. It was a very informative panel.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Jani, for stopping by & leaving a comment. I filled in the info about Maria.{I would love to have heard her presentation.} It was great to meet you at BYB - I remember you well & I enjoyed visiting with you.

You do look like you could be Brooke's sister and you barely look old enough to be somebody's mama so we are floored that you are anybody's grandma! We loved meeting you at BYBC13 it was such a great conference.

Michelle, I'm so glad I met you at the conference! I'm finally getting a minute to read through your blog and I love it! Your sons room that you were telling me about turned out so great! I love the mirror! I'll definitely be turning to you for inspiration as my boys get older. ;)
