I took my daughter's camera to Blissdom with the hopes of taking hundreds of pictures…but sadly, that did not happen. I did manage to take a few here and there, so I thought I'd share those few with you.
Kate arrived in Nashville first, and I arrived about three hours later. This is a self-portrait of the two of us taken just minutes after I arrived.
While we were waiting for Toni to arrive, Kate and I went downstairs to look at the famous pink slip, which is made entirely of pink crayons. Quite impressive!
Toni finally arrived a short while later and we all went back to our hotel room to relax…and to take a picture of the three of us together for the very first time!
No surprise here, but after eating dinner together in the hotel cafe, the three of us tromped back up to the hotel room and logged onto the internet to check our email and Twitter.
Thursday we finally got to meet a lot of the wonderful ladies attending Blissdom. This generous lady, Jerri Ann Reason, was kind enough to chauffeur us to lunch at Subway before the conference began. We had a fun time getting to know her and Roni (sorry, I didn't get a picture of you, Roni!) during lunch. Yes, I know, we broke the cardinal rule of never riding in a car with a stranger…but it was an SUV, so it doesn't count, right?
Erin from $5 Dollar Dinners was there as well, so I made sure I snapped a photo of Toni and Erin. It was such a joy getting to know Erin a little bit. She's such a sweet person!
And last but not least, here are the panelists from our first session about blog content. From left to right are Tsh Oxenrider from Simple Mom, Amy Clark from Mom Advice, and Meredith from Like Merchant Ships. I really enjoyed this session and thought that these three articulate ladies did an excellent job.
Can you believe that this is all the pictures I got from my weekend? Pretty pathetic, I know. I don't really have any excuses except that I was having such a good time I forgot that I had my camera!

Holy cow what a horrible photo..you gotta learn to photoshop and at least make me have 4 chins instead of 12 or maybe even more…..
It was great that you ladies wanted to eat because I probably wouldn't have done without otherwise……. I know I talked ya'll ears off the whole time but I was just so excited to speak to adults for several days in a row, it was amazing….lol

I am glad you had such a fun time. Now I am going to be distracted all day clicking on all those blogs!
