Meeting a New Friend!
Yesterday I got to meet Kristi from I Should Be Mopping the Floor! I do a guest post once a month for her blog, so I felt like I knew her already! If you have never visited her site you are missing out, she has some great ideas and beautiful pictures! Take a minute and check it out!
She is in Utah for a blogging conference close to my home, so we made arrangements to get together for a short time.
She was so sweet and I felt like she could be my sister (although she would be a younger sister!). She has helped me a great deal with my blog and is so willing to share her information on things that I can do to improve. But she is also just a kind, fun, sweet person to be around and the time went by way too quick!
We were able to visit while we made a stop at Gygi’s, one of my favorite places to visit. I got some lemon flavored chocolate that I want to try out really soon… think lemon dipped strawberries for Mother’s Day! After that stop we went over to the Blue Lemon for lunch, another one of my favorite places to eat. So I gave Kristi a very short tour of a couple of my favorite places in SLC.
I had a wonderful time and I am so glad that I got to meet her! Thanks Kristi! :)
After I let her off to go back to her blogging conference, I made a little detour over to Trader Joe’s since I was so close, I could not pass up the opportunity to just go over there and browse and do a little shopping. Of course, I bought some of their flowers, just because… and I brought them home and arranged them.
I love the bright yellows and purple is this fun arrangement! I got the yellow mason jar at Steinmart and have just been waiting to put a fun floral arrangement in it! It is amazing how happy a bunch of flowers for $5.99 can make this girl! :)
So I got to spend the day with a great friend, we had good food, did a little shopping and flowers to top it all off. I would say that this was pretty much a perfect day!
I hope that you get to spend a perfect day with someone you love real soon!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Thanks for Visiting! Love Ya!

What is Your Story?
I attended a conference last weekend called Story@Home. It was held in Salt Lake City at the Conference center and at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. It was a family history, story telling and blogging conference. I learned a ton of new things and I had a great time. One of my cute DIL’s went with me and we had a good time together.
The main speaker that I wanted to see was Leigh Anne, from Your Homebased Mom. She has a really fun blog and I learned more from her, hands down, than from any of the other classes that I attended! Her focus was on blogging your passion and love what you do. She helped me as a fairly new blogger to have a better perspective of what to expect in following my blogging dreams. She is so cute and down to earth and realistic and I just really seem to relate to her!
Story@ Home Conference
I am excited to tell you about a conference that I am going to attend this weekend. It is called Story@Home 2012. It is being held in Salt Lake City, UT at Temple square.
This is the description of the conference:
Blogging • Family History • Storytelling
“No matter how you tell your stories – through your family history, at your child’s bedside, on your blog, or from a stage – your stories matter. Join us for a conference that will change the way you see your stories and the world, and help you connect in new ways with those you cherish most.
Workshops and performances by award-winning storytellers, performers and speakers, will help you explore ways to use the power of story in your home. You’ll be able to record your own story, start on some research to learn more about your family’s history, get started on a blog and learn how to tell your story through social media.”
If you are anywhere in the area, there are still tickets available here: Story@Home. One of the speakers is Leigh Anne from your homebased mom. She has a fun blog that I have followed for a long time, so I am excited to get to meet her and to listen to her class!
If any of you are attending, please come and say hi if you see me. I would love to meet you!
