It’s “the morning after” around here. The morning after Heather as well as I returned from Atlanta where we were at an incredible seminar for professional-ish mommy blog writers called mommy 2.0.
Atlanta is truly no where near San Francisco, in situation that wasn’t remove to you, however traveling there was 100% worth the investment.
When I got in the taxi at 5 am (2 am on my body clock) to return home, the weekend was starting to blur, however as I typed up all my notes on the plane, I realized I extracted a lot more out of this seminar than I had expected.
One silly thing that occurs at woman blog writer conferences is that lots of pictures are taken, which leads to a great deal of women acting ridiculous, coaching each other into making odd faces (You’re a cheetah! You’re a chalupa!), secretly holding our arms in uncomfortable positions to make them appear a lot more slender, as well as using a lot more makeup as well as fashion jewelry than we wear at home. right here are some shots of me, Heather, as well as our buddy Morgan from The 818 striking a few poses.
Kidding. right here we are with Morgan, all dressed up for the evening of the Iris Awards.
Here are some other links we’ve collected this week.
