blogging conference | little lessons in a BIG city

I just arrived back home to iowa last night, from attending a blogging conference in kansas city over the weekend. go blog social, to be exact. you’re suppose to leave these things feeling inspired, ready to take over the world, and with a whole slew of new friends. which means I got exactly what I went for.

I met some pretty incredible people. and have a lot of information to share. but you’ll have to wait until tomorrow. today it’s all about the photos!

lunch at BRGR kitchen + bar.

a few of the amazing bloggers I had the privilege of spending the wknd with.

the most incredible boutique + bar, the garment district. where we had our social event saturday night.

see you tomorrow for a bit more of an informative + inspiring look at my weekend.

I had my heart set on attending go blog social this year. I also had my heart set on starting a new job. with training, and lack of vacation days ~~because I’m saving almost all of them for my wedding~~ ..I didn’t know if I could make it work. long story short ..

I will be at ~~half of~~ go blog social.

I am taking off to kansas city on friday (after work). to meet some of my favorite bloggers. and learn how to make this blog just a wee bit better.
