if you’ve been following this little site for a while or if you know me personally then you know that this time last year i was preparing to throw a really great event…
the inaugural blog brûlée was an awesome weekend surrounded by some of the most talented and inspiring registered dietitian/healthy living bloggers on the web. from that weekend friendships were etched in stone and talent was honed. what a great time with an exceptional group.
it is hard to believe, but we are on the cusp of the second annual event. we being my favorite fellow RD bloggers and blog brûlée co-founders, regan jones, deanna seagrave-daly and robin plotkin.
once again we’ll be meeting in the lovely mountains of vermont at smugglers’ notch resort. and once again we’ll be learning all about photography, writing, community, brand promotion and so much more. oh, and eating delicious food and having a great time.
this year we have another great line-up of speakers, another generous list of sponsors, and a pretty darn incredible group of attendees.
my greatest regret is the timing of this year’s event is a little too close for comfort for the arrival of this little in my belly. i’ll be missing all of the fun this time around. boo!
but i’ll be there in spirit, toasting the weekend as i hold my little bundle, checking in to hear play-by-plays of each day, and drowning some “missing out sorrows” with these s’mores tarts when i know they’re sitting around a campfire.
here’s a list of the sponsors that are making this weekend happen:
stay tuned here and on the interwebs for more reports on the big event… and be sure to follow #blogbrulee on twitter for updates and info too!
