Getting Ready for Blissdom, and Eating Spinach

July 29, 2013 by Barb 8 Comments

In October, my daughter (www.aprettylifeinthesuburbs.com) and I are going to a blog conference in Mississauga together! How amazing is that?

Tickets and flights are purchased, and a room at the hotel is booked.

So now I’ve been following Blissdom Canada 2013 on Facebook and Twitter, and am getting a teeny bit nervous.

I know the majority of attendees will be my daughter’s age. That could be a bit intimidating. So what to do?

Be prepared, I think.

First up, I wanted to get my “business” card ready, and that meant I had to narrow down what my blog is about. I put a ton of thought into it and this is what I came up with…
Business Card

So simple, so plain, so white. My blog in a nutshell. I think it makes the right statement for me. What do you think?

I didn’t run the design by anyone else, but because they cost less than $30.00, I ordered them through Costco this morning. May as well strike one thing off my list of to-do’s.

Now, how to look 20 years younger in 60 days…

No, actually, I’m going to go forth as a proud grandma. I think I’ll keep this jingle in my head while I’m there though…

Oh, I’m Popeye the Sailor Man

I’m Popeye the Sailor Man

I yam what’s I yam and that’s all what’s I am

I’m Popeye the Sailor Man

OK, I’m off to stock up on spinach!

    Barb, I had the same thoughts too before I went to a big photography retreat in Seattle. Unfortunately, my thoughts were right, they all were in their 30’s with young children. But I still had a great time and learned a lot. Can’t wait to hear your reports on the conference and how you mingled with the YOUNG set☺
