...turns into a blog post!
What a weekend! I had such an amazing time in Vegas this week. I was a little anxious about leaving my babies and almost packed them up with me and I think Kynlee had the same idea!
Thank goodness for Facetime, though! I got to talk to my little man each day and he was not too happy thrilled about taking a break from playing with G.G. to talk to me, too. Of course, I had to send him a picture of the airport per his request!
Jared was supposed to go with me, but got swamped at work so my friend, Melissa, and I made it a girls trip. It was just what the doctor ordered for these two mamas! We had a blast!
We were sure to hit up Carlo's Bakery at the Venetian for a nutritious breakfast, and made sure to rub it in to the men at home. There is no doubt we looked a little ridiculous as we attacked the most amazing box of pastries I have ever eaten...oh my! Buddy...please open a bakery in Fort Worth...PLEASE!!!
I wasn't planning on getting the little man something during my trip because his birthday party was this weekend, but Melissa and I stopped in our tracks when we saw a toy garbage truck! Grayson is OBSESSED and I mean really obsessed with garbage trucks! If you don't believe me just wait until his birthday party post. Not only did I find a garbage truck, but it actually WORKS! My son would not be bothered by playing with a garbage truck that you cannot dump trash into, pack and empty...he's just not having it!
Now, onto the first TpT conference! It was absolutely amazing! I have been behind my computer working solo for 3 years now and was beyond excited to meet teachers that not only have a TpT store, but even some that work from home...AMAZING! It was just what I needed to feel excited and reenergized about the craziness that is my life!
I met Becky from Teaching, Learning and Loving who is also a stay at home mom! We met by chance at a session and I am excited to stay in touch and work with her. We also met Deanna Jump, among other amazing TpT Top Sellers and learned SO MUCH!
The fire has been set and I am ready to stay in touch with some new friends and SUPERCHARGE my SELLER SUCCESS! Looking forward to next year!
Oh my goodness- your little girl is so precious! And I do NOT remember seeing that bakery
ReplyDeleteThanks...I think so, too! My friend knew it was there so we looked for it our first night!
ReplyDeleteIt was an absolutely amazing trip and I can't believe all of the people I met and things that I learned while I was there! I bet you missed your babies a ton, but it is always nice to get away for a little mommy time!
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely nice to have some time away! I am already looking forward to the next conference!
DeleteGreat pics! Vegas really was a blast!

You're too sweet! I was definitely a mess that morning (especially since my husband decided to accept a showing for our house that morning, too). I love that man, but sheesh!
DeleteIt was so nice to meet you!!
ReplyDeleteIt was great to meet you, too!
DeleteVegas was so much fun! You are definitely a Super Mom for coming home and throwing an incredible party. I saw the pictures and it looked like a blast. Maybe we will meet in Vegas next year. :)
