Finding Friends at Savvy Summit

by Smockity Frocks on July 9, 2010

I am so excited to be spending the weekend in beautiful Breckenridge, CO at the Savvy Blogging Summit learning all kinds of writing tips and html coding secrets.

Here is a subpar photograph of J.D. Roth, author of Get Rich Slowly, who is giving us a wealth of information about how to grow our blogs.

Fortunately for you (and me) I will be in a photography class tomorrow, so expect to be WOW-ed by absolutely par photography very shortly.

One of the best parts of the summit, though, is meeting up with bloggy friends.

Here is Angie from Many Little Blessings, Amy (and her adorable baby bump) from Raising Arrows, Robyn from Our Homeschool Home, and the cutest baby on the block. We had a very enjoyable dinner together full of laughter and encouragement.

Here is Jen from Balancing Beauty and Bedlam. She is so sweet, she didn’t seem to mind at all when I tracked her down and forced her to be in this picture.

I’m enjoying my time and learning a LOT, not the least of which is, if you only put 2 diapers in your bag, the baby will have precisely 3 scatter poops and you will be trekking a mile and a half back to your room in the middle of one of the most interesting sessions.

If you could meet any blogger, who would it be?

Oooh, thanks for updating us from the Summit! I would meet…(oh gosh, so hard) either Kristin from We Are THAT Family or Amy from Amy’s Finer Things! :D

@Alicia’s Homemaking, Amy is my roommate. She is SO SWEET!!!

Alicia's Homemaking July 9, 2010 at 4:05 pm

Um, or Amanda from OhAmanda. Or YOU! :D I can’t wait to go to my first blogging conference.

Angie @ Many Little Blessings July 9, 2010 at 4:11 pm

Oh, Connie — what a sweet post! I loved having dinner with you, and seeing you throughout this weekend. You are such a beautiful person — inside and out!

Kris @ WUHS and Eclipsed July 9, 2010 at 4:20 pm

*sigh* I’m trying really hard not to feel jealous. I so wish I could have found a sponsor.

Smockity Frocks July 9, 2010 at 9:43 pm

@Kris @ WUHS and Eclipsed, We talked about missing you at dinner! {wiping away tear}

ali @ an ordinary mom July 9, 2010 at 4:46 pm

Oh, that looks like so much fun! Great pics of some great ladies!

Kara July 9, 2010 at 4:54 pm

Looks so wonderful! I’m loving the pics:) So maybe you could hold your own little conference, say somewhere in Texas, to share all your new knowledge;)

Amanda Sikes July 9, 2010 at 5:11 pm

Totally off subject but what kind of carrier are you wearing in these pics?

Chick Hatchers July 9, 2010 at 5:24 pm

@Amanda Sikes, I, too, would like confirmation of the brand / style baby carrier! Please share…

Chick Hatchers July 9, 2010 at 5:24 pm

Sorry, didn’t mean to reply to you, but to Connie. Goofy me.

Smockity Frocks July 10, 2010 at 9:20 am

@Chick Hatchers,
My wrap is from http://www.SoNuturing.com

If you get one tell them you saw it here!

Lori Lynn July 9, 2010 at 5:38 pm

If I could meet any blogger I would meet you!

Id love to meet the lady from raising olives, or the lady from large family mothering, or YOU of course. Unfortunately, being Australian, that probably isn’t gonna happen.

Smockity Frocks July 9, 2010 at 9:44 pm

@abba12, I have met Kimberly from Raising Olives and she is absolutely charming!

Kimberly @ Raising Olives July 10, 2010 at 3:06 pm

@Smockity Frocks, Thanks Connie! Hope you’re having a blast.

Kimberly @ Raising Olives July 10, 2010 at 3:05 pm

@abba12, Awww, thank you. I’d love to visit Australia sometime, ya never know. If you are ever near Tennessee – you’re invited for a visit!

Jeanie Cullip July 9, 2010 at 5:56 pm

I want to meet MckMama form mycharmingkids.net

Smockity Frocks July 9, 2010 at 9:45 pm

@Jeanie Cullip, I met her! Sweet as peach pie!

Jeanie Cullip July 9, 2010 at 11:37 pm

@Smockity Frocks, I figured she would be.

Penny Kendall July 9, 2010 at 6:25 pm

Looks like you are having a wonderful time and learning lots. Can’t wait to have my mini-summit (in the extremely mini-mountains of our hometown) when you return. Learn lots of photography tips … I need the help. Blessings!

Shari July 9, 2010 at 10:19 pm

I want to meet MckMama, YOU, and Brent Riggs family.

Nikki July 9, 2010 at 11:24 pm

You are at the top of the list of blogger friends I want to meet. :)

Holly July 10, 2010 at 10:07 am

Well, yeah, you! :)

Holly July 10, 2010 at 10:07 am

And I’m not jealous. Not in the slightest, leastest, littlest bit. Nope.

Kelly July 12, 2010 at 8:58 am

I would like to meet that Connie from Smockity Frocks. She always makes me laugh and is full of great advice. (Oh, and I hear she’s a knitter, too!)

I would also like to meet Kristin from We Are That Family. She inspired us to sponsor a child through Compassion International, and it has been a truly amazing experience.

Cheryl@SomewhatCrunchy July 12, 2010 at 5:57 pm

So jealous you got to meet Jen, I wish I’d been there. But I’m glad you had a good time :)

Jen@balancing Beauty and Bedlam July 12, 2010 at 7:04 pm

Girl – of course you know I didn’t mind.
Ladies, for all you that want to meet Connie, she is precious, authentic and the real deal. Such a doll!
