I have almost totally completely recovered from the Mom 2.0 Summit in Atlanta this weekend. The combination of standing/walking/dancing/flying made me swell up like a bullfrog and I was worried I might have overdone it, but things seem to be getting back to normal. But definitely no more travel for me until I have an outside baby.

Sunday:

Furniture in an orchard. What, that’s not how you spend your weekends?

Evan is “helping” her read a book. This definitely didn’t end well.

STOP JUDGING ME, YOU ARE A CAT.

Monday:

I was very tempted to just throw that whole pile away, but I mostly put it away. Mostly.

Captain Barnacles and Peso to the rescue!

Who knew applesauce in a pouch was THAT delicious?

Tuesday:

Adorable shopping cart sharing.

Making herself at home.

We don’t ACTUALLY live at Target. My kids just get confused sometimes.

Wednesday:

Swim lesson shenanigans

Her side-eye is already perfect.

If this is what happens after a 30 minute swim class, maybe summer will involve LOTS of naps.

Thursday:

Goodbye Providence…

Hello Atlanta!

Chocolate fountain = pregnant woman’s dream come true

Friday:

No YOU cried like 5 different times during the first 4 hours of Mom 2.0

I’ve never had such amazing food at a conference. Parmesan encrusted shrimp OMG.

Saturday:

High tea at the Ritz. Is this real life? (No)

Fancy award ceremony is fancy

My amazing, beautiful roommate Miranda who I miss so much already

I’ll write an actual conference post later (that will probably be mostly photos, duh) but it was an amazing experience. I had literally zero negative interactions with people – even people I would consider Kind Of A Big Deal on the internets – and loved every conversation I had. Even though right now the logistics of going next year (not knowing where we might be stationed, having a 10 month old) are overwhelming I already bought a ticket.

Now I am back to real life where I am responsible for butt-wiping and laundry and a severe lack of fried green tomatoes. But cuddling with the ginger babies makes me super glad to be back to life (back to reality).
