It took months of planning, and my very first day of #Blogher12 went off without a hitch. It’s easy to over think such a grand conference. With over 5,000 bloggers in attendance, who wouldn’t? It’s so easy to get caught up and overwhelmed with everything. I was able to avoid all that by keeping things simple (which meant not trying to get to everything, and everyone).
We began the day with breakfast for ‘newbies,’ where we pretty much got the lay of the land. It was so much fun getting to know other first time attendees, and share blogging experiences.
Then it was off to speed dating! It was a great way to break the ice and get our feet wet by chatting with other writers. But, I couldn’t wait to get to the main event. Some would probably say the Martha Stewart interview was the highlight of the day. But for me, it was the sessions!

I later caught up with Quiana Agbai from Harlem Love Birds! She invited me as her plus one to the Room Key’s Roof Top party. After following her blog over the last year, it was great to meet her in person.
It’s one day down, and one more to go. Looking forward to making more connections! Stay tuned for Part 2! |

I agree with getting caught up with the working-with-brands game, and struggled with that earlier this year. I think I’m back on track now. Loving all your updates! And am excited for you to have met Denene… totally adore her writing style.
It was so cool meeting the different brands. Denene was very nice,and spot on!
