Recovery Mode

Hi all! I’m back from the Haven Conference and am a crazy mix of inspired, motivated and exhausted! I didn’t realize how little sleep we would be working on. I am not as young as I used to be and three hours a night just doesn’t cut it! Cassie, Carmel and I had a blast chit chatting about social media during our sessions. I will share some of the highlights when I do a recap of Haven. The most wonderful part of the trip was meeting many of the faces I have communicated with for so many years. What a talented and inspiring group of people. And just straight up fun, genuine, and kind.  There may or may not have been a flash mob involved at one point. More about that later. havenbloggers me / michelle / cassie / jen / emily / kristin photo from I Heart Organizing But I must say I am completely wiped. My husband knocked it out of the ballpark with the kids the past four days. They had a complete blast and he scored major brownie points for having a clean house to come home to. But my poor sweet son came down with something last night so I hopped quickly back into mom/nurse mode. And for that reason, I am keeping it short today and will be back tomorrow. Funny Family Ecard: Oh I'm so glad you're home from work honey.. I'm exhausted from pinning all day; I found you some good recipes to make us for dinner though!! {think I can pull this off tonight?} And to all of the new faces I met at Haven, what an honor to be hanging out with such a talented group of bloggers. I admire you and your devotion to doing what you are passionate about. Hoping our paths cross again soon. If you are looking for organizing tips this week, don’t forget I’ve listed my top ten ideas and have a round up of other bloggers ideas as well. It’s worth checking out! And today is the last day of the big Nordstrom Anniversary sale. I rounded up some of my favorites here and here. Have a great day!!!
