I first heard about Reviewers Retreat a while back on one of the pitch groups i’m on. I wasn’t famillar with it or with Double Duty Divas or anything like that. I was shocked when I checked into it and found out it is less than 45 minutes from my house!
Reviewers Retreat is held this year at the Great Wolf lodge in Concord, which i’m not stranger to. I practically lived at concord mills mall when dating both my ex-boyfriend and my now husband! It was where we went to hang out and just get out of the house and such!
A blog conference is something that I have been excited about ever since I found out that there was such a thing back in 2009. I remember when Jenn got to go to blogher, and I was SO Jealous! I vowed if blogher or any other conferences came my way I’d do my best to try to go to them.
I think going to a blog conference will be an awesome experience for me! I am already so Excited & Nervous at the same time! I know you can’t tell from on here i’m a pretty shy gal! Most of the times I can suck it up and get past it and you never were the wiser, but sometimes it can either take me a while, or I just can’t shake it!
I bought my ticket on Sunday night, and since Kecia and I are Double Duty Divas we got the chance on monday morning to change it up a bit and actually SPLIT the cost of our tickets with the buy one get one free deal they have going on
I have “known” Kecia since 2008 and I have even talked to her on the phone before! I am really excited to know someone who is going that I can feel comfortable around !
I am trying to get the site into some sort of better shape since i’m going to be attending lol. It isn’t like it didn’t need done anyways, but now i’m more inspired you can say. It needs a new theme, semi better posts that aren’t just hey nichole did this today blah blah blah, and a few subpages and widgets/tweaks. I also need to get into shape myself and get new business cards as well. Oh and make a google plus page, a new FB for online friend, and and..lol you get the picture!
I would like to thanks Bridgette for being so nice and answering all the questions I have had, also Cecelia and Mommy B for being so nice to me! If you are going to Reviewers Retreat 2012 feel free to follow me on twitter! @xxpollypocket just tell me you’re going and I will follow back and add you to my “reviewers retreat” list!
I hope to have lots of info & especially pics to share when i’m back 🙂 June is too far away!
this is in no way a sponsored post, just excited to get to go to a blog conference!
