BYB 2013 Memories

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!

{CLICK HERE} for my tips on how to prepare for one.

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!

Here are some of the darling people I saw at BYB.

{I couldn't find the name for some of them -

if you know the ?'s would you please leave me a comment?}

In the photo above, {L to R} me, Kari from Newlyweds on a Budget, Paula from The Real Housewives of Riverton, under her with the pretty red hair, Emily Sanders from Persona,
McKenzie from Girl Loves Glam, Whitney from A Mommy's Life with a Touch of Yellow {with her apprentice}

{L to R} Courtney Killpack, ?, Aleisha from She Calls Me Mama Leisha, Megan from Brassy Apple

-This "Little Miss Momma" look-alike is actually the darling Alyssa from The Recipe Critic

{L to R} Holly & Natalie from My Sister's Suitcase, McKenzie {again, she is one of my favorites!}, Andie from Maybe I Will, & finally, stalking the back of Holly's outfit because I liked it so much 

{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!
