First of all, food bloggers are great people.  Every person I met was a g-e-m.  I loved meeting other people who care about things like photo garnishes, the chickens living in my garage (sorry I haven’t told you about that yet!) and how to take pictures in restaurants without annoying people.  Amazing, right?  I think we should all live together in a big blogging commune and eat tasty food all day.

I learned roughly a million things at this conference.  I have ideas out-the-waz and I can’t wait to roll out some new changes here at Oven Love.  I want to make it even better for you guys- easier to search, more fun to look at and even more inspiring.  I’m on the job.. so much to do!

 

Also- you should know that Atlanta is a delicious city.  My favorite eats from the weekend were Sublime Doughnuts and The Pop Shop.  Here’s Jess’s review of Sublime Doughnuts– Droolfest, USA.

 

And in case you were wondering, I was thinking about you the whole weekend.  I even brought you back some extra swag!  Here’s what’s in the bag:

-Reusable bag from Saveantibiotics.org
-Metromint water
-Butterball seasoning kit
-All new Lite Pom (this isn’t in stores yet, but it’s so good!)
-Quaker Oatmeal Squares
-Bob’s Red Mill Granola, Gluten-Free Hot Cereal and Pearl Whole Wheat Couscous
-Dole Peaches
-Assorted coupons (Stonyfield, Wasa, Barilla, etc)

To enter, all you have to do is comment below, and ask me a question!  You can ask me a question about anything: my recipes, someone else’s recipes, something that has nothing to do with food, the meaning of life, whatever you want.  Just ask me a question and you’ll be entered to win the swag bag.  Contest ends Wednesday night at midnight EST.

Winner will be announced on Thursday, and I’ll be answering all of your questions.  Look forward to some GFA pie posts later this week!

Yesterday was a whirlwind of information, food and new faces.  I really loved the sessions I chose (except for the SEO session, which almost made my head explode), and have had so much fun getting to know new bloggers and meeting some people who are already Oven Lovers (hi! love you!).  We’ve also gotten a ridiculous amount of swag and got to attend a party last night hosted by Tasty Kitchen (although we missed Bakerella.. maybe she’ll be around today).

I’m pumped for today’s schedule- I’ll be going to two photography sessions, there’s an excursion to Sweet Auburn Curb Market and an awesome party planned at the Tabernacle.  Can’t wait to share!

I don’t know if I ever told you, but besides being a momma and a food blogger, I have another awesome gig as a Bradley birth instructor.  It’s one of my favorite things in the world to do, and yesterday, I got to help a sweet baby boy come into this world med-free.  I think you’d agree that baby birth days take precedence over a little bloggin’.

To continue my crazy week, I’m heading up to Atlanta for BlogHer Food tomorrow morning!  I can’t tell you how excited I am for it.  Reasons?

I can’t wait to come back and share all the juicy goodness that BlogHer Food will bring.  Hopefully, I can do a little posting while I’m there so you can get an inside peek.

Anyone else going to BlogHer Food this weekend? I’d love to meet up if you are!
