I have a lot to say about this “little” conference.
And when I use the word “little” I only mean it in the sense that it has a smaller attendance per city (since it has and will be in a total of 10 places, I think) and in that it is a one-day conference.
I do NOT use it in the sense of “little” information because…
O.M.G.
Did I learn a TON from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in ONE day.
I don’t have the time or brain capacity to share it all with you here, right now but I just want to say that I may be making some slight changes to the blog soon and I will share a few tips that I learned later…
Seriously, Tiffany Romero is a Rock Star (and very pretty too…)(kind of an inside joke…)(but she really IS pretty…) and Bloggy Boot Camp was totally awesome. The SITS community is really amazing as is their dedication to what they do and to other bloggers.
And the other best part, besides all the info was of course, the PEOPLE. Because we are no one (as bloggers!) without the people who do this with us and understand us and share our goals and ideas. It really is amazing to be in a banquet room full of women who just “get it”.
Brittany from Not Your Average Teen* and Priscilla from The Wheelchair Mommy* – they sat across from me at dinner. Such sweet ladies!
A shot of a bunch of bloggers at dinner…
Me and LaQuishe (Channing Tatum Unwrapped*), she’s practically a celebrity – hello red carpet!) and Lisa from Mommy Mo.
*This denotes a blogger I just met IRL at BBC. Lots, huh?
Priscilla - Wheelchair Mommy says
You are so sweet and fun to hang out with!!! Thanks for linking to me :).
I hope to keep in touch.
It’s not that often someone really KNOWS Shiner for more then the beer ( or should that be than, ACK!!)

I love how my peace necklace is crooked in almost all the pictures. I just had to get that off my chest! 😀
I love this. So many great bloggers! xoxo

What fun! It’s so nice to meet bloggers in real life!
Cheryl says
I imagine it is surreal seeing all the people who you’ve only “read” before…like long lost buddies I bet with some of them!
Jen says
Awe, this post makes me SO sad that I was not there but SO happy that you were. I am glad you had a good time.
Maria @BOREDmommy says

I just read this and I’m so jealous! I went to Bloggy Boot Camp in Philly, but I was hoping to move to DFW before this BBC so I could go.
Glad you had a great time!
