Guess what? Presley is sick AGAIN. This is probably the worst she has ever been, it’s a bad cold/flu and causing her to cough so bad she throws up, doesn’t want to eat or nurse & won’t sleep more than 20 minutes. It’s been a horribly long few days. We’ve rearranged our sectional in the living room into a big ‘cuddle fort’ and have been sleeping in 20 minute sets for the last few days. I hate seeing her sick, it seems like we know the feeling way better than we should. We are trying to keep her fever down with tylenol & lots of kisses & cuddles. We are putting off a visit to the Doc as long as we can – we were cautioned to try and avoid Antibiotics before her surgery thats happening in 2.5 weeks. It can’t come soon enough….She’s setting a new sleep record – so instead of sleeping, I’m blogging. Because, well, *duh*. Anyways.
This last weekend I got to sneak away from Mommy duty and head into Mesa for an Arizona Blogger meet up. I was so stinking excited that we got a car in time (a 2008 Prius!) and I was able to go with Megan from And Here’s to You Mrs. Robinson. The theme for the night was A Midsummer Nights Dream & it was so fun to meet and network with tons of different Arizona bloggers. I had no idea there were so many! Of course, I made Chad take pictures of me in the street in my getup. A lacy maxi dress & some flowers pinned in my hair….I can’t pull off a flower headpiece like some of the girls did, it’s just not my thing.
Somedays, when I actually have the time (and energy) to do my hair – I am very, very thankful that my the parentals put me through Cosmetology school. It’s fun knowing how to do hair. I’m not tooting my own horn, just thankful I know how to work what my momma, and bleach, gave me.
The set up was gorgeous, but that’s what you get when you put together Pinterest addict bloggers. Yes, mason jars, cakes & photo booths follow:
{Married Bloggers}
Chrissy & I. #notaselfie
Megan & I
{Mommy Bloggers}
So, there you have it. I should have taken more pictures – but I was just too busy meeting & networking with all these amazing gals. I’m so glad I was able to take a night off from ‘Mommy Duty’ to go dress up & mingle. Definitely need to do that more often.
Blogging is amazing. I’ve said it soooo many times – but I’ve met some of the best people through this community. Shoot, I get teased for blogging & for carrying my camera around all the time – but this brings me happiness. It’s great to be able to sit down with a group of these girls & really get to be ME. Camera, and blog post & hashtag crazy. Feels like HOME.
Presley is STILL sleeping. So, off to drink some tea & doze off before our night really begins.

That first photo of you is so beautiful! I wish I could pull off blonde hair, but I can’t (and my bf hates it). That meet-up looks like so much fun. I’m gonna have to see if there’s anything in MO soon.
Tausha Wierlo says
Oh my gosh, you NEED to go to a meet up! They are so much fun to meet people with the same mindset as you! It’s such a great way to network & to get tips and tricks that are working for other bloggers! Try searching on Facebook for MO bloggers….Thats how I have found this group!

So fun!!! Deidre and Megan are great! I haven’t me Megan IRL yet, but I know all of us Utah bloggers were sad to lose Deidre’s fun personality at our meet ups! 🙂
Tausha Wierlo says
Oh my heavens. I’m pretty sure Deidre is my new WCW. She is one hot, hilarious lady. I’m kinda obsessed with her now. And Megan is awesome! I’ve been following her for awhile so it was great to finally MEET. Hahah, bloggers are crazy!
