This past weekend, I went to a blogging conference called BlogHer Food in Austin Texas! This is a quick recap of the weekend I had. Oh my gracious, I packed a whole lot into four short days!! And, special thanks to PretzelCrisps who sponsored me to go! Thursday morning, I was up and ready to go with Blake! Of course he was a trooper traveler and slept the entire way! Love my little dude!Through the weekend, I was mostly hanging out with Jessicaand Tina! I love these girls so much! Blogging friends are the best and these girls are the definition of hilarious. I honestly laughed my way through the conference! I’d also like to take a minute to point out that my baby is growing like a weed. He looks so much older to me than 5 weeks here! Time needs to stand still! Eeps!!Of course I documented just about everything I shoveled into my face…just like any food blogger would do! LOL! This was a pork tenderloin covered in grilled pineapple and green chile salsa. This is eggs benedict with chipotle hollandaise sauce. So amazing and spicy! Texans don’t mess around their spice, let me tell you!  These were doughnuts the size of my face. More details about all these restaurants coming soon!
I was also lucky enough to attend a dinner with a bunch of my blogging friends, including the wonderful and always lovely Pioneer Woman. Amy is holding Blake in this photo with Jenny and Ree looking on.And then there’s this photo. I have no clue what Ree said, but it was most likely pretty funny. I should have a caption contest for this photo. Forreals.Soon after I snapped those pics, Blake got passed down the line and Ree held onto him until he fell asleep in her arms! It was the sweetest thing! Photo courtesy of Amanda

The next day, there were a group of us who wanted to do a little more exploring, so off we went! One stop we made was to Sugar Mama’s Bakery. So so good, you guys!! Again, more details to come on that very soon! This photo basically describes food bloggers in a nut shell. Table full of goodies, everyone taking pictures, then editing and sharing the photos they took on their phones. It’s really nice to be around people who do exactly what I do! We got a lot of looks for sure!!I was able to attend a few more events that day and Jenny missing her little baby, Pax, gladly took Blake off my hands for a few minutes! Thanks, Jenny!  Photo courtesy of Jessica.

Overall, it was an amazing few days and I was so glad to visit Texas and almost literally sweat my face {and butt} off.
