Link Love: Real Life Meeting

I have been blogging for over two years now and just this week met my first bloggy friend in person. David, from My Two Dollars, Simple. Organized. Life. and The Good Human (Yes, he has THREE sites!) was in town and we went for coffee one day this week. How fun it was to meet a blog friend for the first time. It was like meeting someone I already know. Surreal and really great.

Also, this week, I booked a flight to Nashville, registered myself at Blissdom, booked a hotel room and am so excited to be meeting so many women I admire plus many more I am yet to know, but I am sure I will love.

I guess I was tired of the empty space blogging sometimes feels like and am reaching out for tangible connections. I just know I am thrilled that I met someone I admire and will be meeting so many more in just a few short weeks. Are you going to Blissdom? Please let me know so I can connect with you!

Enough babbling from me. On with some links from my reader that I enjoyed this week.

10 Frugal Ways to Get Fit This Winter (seeing as we have a chance of snow here in Florida this weekend, these may actually come in handy for me! okay, I admit that I doubt I will be snowshoeing).

Lessons On Accessories (Instead of cleaning this week, I just rearranged accessories. I hope our guests didn’t notice the dust bunnies!)

Confessions of Decoratingaholic (I always love this blog and her photos, but throw in lots of decorating and I am a blog stalker)

Dulce la Leche Coffee (I must make this)

No More Winter Blues: 20 Winter Home Tips (Love Melissa and all her ideas to cozy up home after taking down the Christmas decorations. You have to keep following for all her additional tips.)

I hope you find something inspiring just as I have. Enjoy your weekend!!
