Blissdom 2013

I came, I saw/heard, and conquered.   Blissdom 2013  

I've always wanted to go to a blogging conference.  They always seem to be on the East or West coast, so I was thrilled to find out Blissdom was going to be here in DFW this year!  Of course I had to go because it was so close.  I got to meet so many fabulous gals I talk to online in person.  It was awesome!  Everyone was so nice and I had a great time.

 

Here are my roomies Lindsey, Leah, and Heidi

These girls were so much fun!  We stayed at the fabulous Gaylord Texan.  I've always enjoyed staying there and it's a great place for conferences and events.  The rooms and service are wonderful.

Heading to the handmade marketplace.  Very cute stuff in there.  Megan and I got sparkly bracelets from The Shine Project.

We then headed out to dinner for some yummy Mexican at the Gaylord.  Thank you so much Polka Dot Posies for dinner and wonderful conversation and laughs.  You.are.awesome.

After the Bissell event all the sponsor booths opened & that was a lot of fun!

Me after my makeup & eyelashes.  I have never had eyelashes put on and I forgot about them until I thought I was losing hair in the shower the next day!

 Blissdom had some great motivational speakers

 The Gaylord atrium

 I cannot wait until Despicable Me 2 comes out!  Can't wait to take Connor!

 I won some Coach perfume at the Ebates booth woohoo!

My favorite breakfast was sponsored by Seattle's Best Coffee.  This giant coffee mug was so much fun!  Their new blended iced coffee was amazing!

 Whip it!

I picked up Megan at the airport.  She is so precious....and not to mention she is Mama to the cutest twinsies ever.  Her plane got struck by lightening and then I think I may have freaked her out a little bit driving in Dallas....but it was fun spending time with you Megan!!!  I'm sad I didn't get to say goodbye, but glad we got to have a fun weekend together :)

 Yummy Sbarro pizza

Thank you Blissdom gals for a great weekend and fun memories.  ALWAYS a good time and I think I just about saw everything besides having to leave early due to a sick kiddo and hubby with food poisoning....yeah he hasn't been out of bed all day.  Fun times. 

 

It's been real....until next time!

 

DFW loves you come back soon!
