TNATLast week I went to Blissdom in Nashville with a few of my local blogger friends Tricia from Once A Month Mom and Kate from Savvy Little Women. While I was there I met a ton of amazing women that are bloggers just like me. Well, not just like me, but a lot like me. One, of these amazing women I met was Alicia and she does a weekly post and link-up called Try New Adventures Thursday. So I figured since I’ve got big plans for this blog and all my readers that I would “try something new” and join Alicia in her link-up and posts. Actually, Sadie from A Wife Loved Like The Church that I met last week at Blissdom also is hosting the link-up… but either way here are my adventures.

Last week I:

1. Left my sweet hubby and boys at home for the FIRST TIME! I’ve been married for almost 9 years (9 years in September) and my oldest son will be 6 in July, but I’ve never left them all before. Now don’t get me wrong... I’ve been on dates without the kids. We have even gone on a trip or two without them. My husband has gone on several business trips for almost a week and I’ve been alone with the boys. It’s just that I have NEVER been the one to leave them at home. I have to admit it was nice being away and not having to deal with the boys fighting over toys, worrying about dinner or cleaning up messes. But by the time Saturday rolled around I was ready to be home and see them again.

Blissdom2. Met hundreds of strangers. I didn’t spend my week away from my boys just sitting on a beach sipping lemonade. Instead I spent my time learning some of the finer points of being a blogger. I met people that write local blogs just like me and ones that work for amazing companies that love bloggers! I really enjoyed all the people that I met and the time I spent talking to them.

3. Learned I’m NOT always outgoing. If you’ve ever met me then you know how talkative I am, I can easily talk to almost anyone. Seriously if you meet me you know what I’m talking about. Well, being at Blissdom in a conference room full of HUNDREDS of women, I have never felt more shy or timid in my life. I honestly started tearing up and was about ready to cry during the first main session. But I had a great time and wouldn’t change it. I came home feeling like I had learned a lot and had a great adventure in the process.

Have you had a “New Adventure” lately, tell me about yours.

PS- This is a new thing for me, being "personal" on here, so please leave me some comment love. 😊
