This is a double DIY post! I’m putting these two crafts together since I made them both for our Nashville trip coming up in a few days! I got the cowboy hat idea from my friend Jessica over at Beagles and Bargains. I also decided that I wanted to make a simple t-shirt that says “Wynston’s Mom,” so I did it!
My Life Revolves Around My Dog. Literally.
Whenever I talk to people about Wynston, I like to joke and say “My life totally revolves around him!” But gosh, this week it really hit me that my life truly does revolve around him. It’s not just a joke anymore – this is serious business! I’m like a pageant mom…but better.
We’re Ready for Nashville!
Wynston and I (and our friends Kama, Porky Pig and Polly Pocket) leave for Nashville, TN to attend the 2015 BlogPaws conference in 5 days and 11 hours – from the time I am writing this post!!!!! It feels like just yesterday I purchased my plane ticket (February) and found out I am a Nose-to-Nose award finalist in March!
Two Weeks of Insanity Incoming
I knew May was going to be a crazy month. With the BlogPaws conference in Nashville, Matt’s graduation, agility trial, weekend events…my calendar is literally filled with at least 2-3 things a day. Wynston also get hired for TWO photo shoots last minute (and possibly a third). Here’s a look at what the next 2 weeks will be like for us:
Blogging at the Next Level: BlogPaws 2015
I’ve been blogging since December 2013. Just over a year later, I can say that I am blessed enough to be a full time pet blogger and I’m headed to the BlogPaws conference in Nashville, TN in hopes of furthering my career!
Something tells me I’ve been abnormally successful as a blogger in a short amount of time. I will tell you though, I’ve worked extremely hard to get to where I am at. I’ve invested some money, but mostly time and late nights to be able to work full time from home doing what I love.
Last year, the BlogPaws conference was in Las Vegas, NV. That’s only a 4 hour drive from my house but I had only been blogging for about 5 months and I wasn’t ready. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into. A year later, I’m so ecstatic to be traveling across the country, from Arizona to Tennessee, with my close friend Kama and our dogs to experience this life changing conference.
So what IS BlogPaws?
- A conference for anyone looking to learn and grow in the pet or web industry.
- Learn about how to make money with your business or blog.
- Meet and greet with fellow pet bloggers and their pets!
- Connect with brands.
- Learn how to market through social media.
In Nashville, I am looking forward to attending the workshops because I really want to learn how to further my career with blogging. Most importantly though, I’m excited to meet all of the faces behind the blogs I read. I’ve made many online friends through blogging and I cannot wait to hug them all and thank them for their continued support during my blogging journey! They have all helped and inspired me along the way!
BlogPaws 2015 takes place in Nashville, TN at the Sheraton Music City Hotel on May 28-30th. Are you attending this year?!
