You guys, I still haven’t unpacked. Wait, what day is it? Have I even showered since Mom 2.0? Ah, back to the life of a work-at-home-mom of 2 toddlers 😉
I had an AMAZING time at Mom 2.0 in Atlanta last weekend. I’ve been wanting to attend because I’ve heard great things and this year was my first opportunity. And those things you hear? All true. I met awesome bloggers (sometimes, I may have been a little “fan girl” about it in a way only other bloggers would understand), ~This post was written in a partnership with the blogging network Markerly. All opinions are my own. My blog started as a place to connect with friends and family when my husband and I lived out of state. It grew and turned into so much more.

Right now I just want to share my pictures and recap what I did in NYC! The trip out was great–even though I had a 6am flight, got up at 1:40am, and left my house at 2:15am to drive to the airport. It This past weekend I was in NYC for BlogHer, the huge annual blogging conference for women (and some men!). It was my third year attending and this year I was lucky enough to be sponsored by an amazing organization, Baby’s First Test. They promote and raise awareness of newborn screenings.
