I’m going to BlissDom, a blogging conference in Nashville. This does not mean that I’m a big-time blogger but it does mean that I will be meeting some big-time bloggers and I can’t wait!
I’ll be rooming with Toni who blogs at The Happy Housewife, Amy from Mom’s Toolbox (yes, the organizer behind the 90 Day Challenge) and Joy from Five J’s.
I heard from a little bird that my room mates are all night owls, so I’m practicing staying up late so as not to throw off the balance in the room.
There are several other bloggers that I really am looking forward to meeting in real life. Some I feel like I already know and others I’ll be happy to just get an autograph. 
- Connie – Smockity Frocks (My pregnant buddy who’s going to knit with me.)
- Kimba - A Soft Place to Land (love her decorating ideas and I’m not jealous of her creativity. much.)
- Robin – Robin’s Blog and Heart of Wisdom
- Amy – The Finer Things
- Heather – Sprittibee
- Cheryl – Somewhat Crunchy
- Alyssa – Kingdom First Mom
- Crystal – Money Saving Mom
- Phoebe – Cents to Get Debt Free
I’m looking forward to being in a room filled with people who understand ‘blog talk’ and am so excited to meet so many other bloggers.
Just a reminder to those who I’ll be meeting for the first time (I think that’s everyone), I’ll be 18 weeks pregnant, so the chubby tummy isn’t just a chubby tummy. Ya know, ’cause at 18 weeks it’s just hard to tell.
Are you going to BlissDom? Wish you were? How many BlissDom attendees will be pregnant? (I KNOW I’m not the only one.) If you’re going to BlissDom, let me know and we’ll see if we can meet up sometime.
Since this was a last minute decision because of morning sickness, there is still an opportunity to have your company/product represented to 500 bloggers at BlissDom. I’m also including a great advertising package for full sponsorship. Details here.

I’ll be there too! I really hope we can meet up. Your roomies are like the Brat Pack!
I’ll be the one who looks 18 wks (on a good day), but it’s just my quad leftovers. =) They were worth it!
See you soon!

Oh boy am I jealous!!! This was probably my first and only opportunity for a looooonnnnggg time since I’m pregnant and have NO NURSING BABY!!! I’m still too new to the blogging world, and I just didn’t realize it was even going on until it was too late, so I’m going to rely on YOU to have fun for me and update all the great stuff you learn and do (not to mention all the fabulous people I know you’ll meet!)! I’m going to enjoy it through your blog
Have a GREAT TIME!!!!!

I’m SO excited to meet you at Blissdom!! I’m a little jealous of your roommates, but my hubs and baby boy are coming so that will be fun too!

So happy for you, Kimberly! Say hello to Connie, Toni, and Crystal for me. Never met them, but would love to! I’ve been pretty scarce in the blogging world lately, but that’s according to God’s perfect plan right now.

Yea! (happy clapping) I am SO thrilled you get to go! I am just giddy about meeting you and everyone else! (a little jealous of your roommates, too! AND that they snagged you!!!)
Monica from Daily Dwelling is one of my roommates and she is pregnant, too.

Wish I could go but it’s tough you know, with having the Atlantic in the way! Have a great time!

YAY!! I can’t wait to meet you either! SO excited you were able to get a ticket. Blissdom is going to be a blast! I’m roughly 16 weeks pregnant, so I’m looking a little chubby myself.

I wish I was going! maybe next year! I wasn’t ever really interested in a big blog conference before, because my blog is really small..but this winter I decided to concentrate more on the whole blogging thing or quit..I didn’t quit, so now I am paying more
attention to learning from those bloggers bigger and far above me!
hope you have a blast!
