A quick trip to Disneyland… Yep, I Just Got Happier.

January 30, 2013 14 Comments

A few weeks ago I attended a blogging conference, which was held at the Anaheim Convention Center… Which happens to be a stone’s throw from Disneyland. And what’s a girl to do when she is hanging out with her blogging friends while just a stone’s throw from Disneyland?  Um, go over and play, of course! With […]

A few weeks ago, my friend Bev at Flamingo Toes and I hosted the second annual SoCal Social. It’s a really fun get together for bloggers in the Southern California area.  It’s not a conference or a seminar… it’s just a chance to meet other, like minded bloggers and hang out together.  It’s a lot […]

Bacon – Blue Cheese – Chorizo Bites.

July 30, 2012 6 Comments

Last month when I was in Atlanta for the Haven Conference, several of us went out to dinner at a tapas restaurant that had been recommended.  (I am so glad I get to type tapas instead of say tapas… “What?! Topless?!” gets really old, really quick…) Anyhow, the food was amazing, and I was inspired […]
