Preparing for a Marvelous Weekend at #HLS13!

by

I’m not sure if I specifically told you all, but I’m attending the Healthy Living Summit 2013 this weekend! I found out as I was moving to the twin cities that it was taking place up here in Minneapolis…how convenient is that?? All I had to pay for was the ticket!
healthy living summit 2013 I'm Going
Oh and I decided to let three awesome blogging friend gals crash our tiny apartment. And I’m so freaking excited about it!! Hope Dave’s ready for this girl’s weekend! 😉

This will be the first blogging get-together I’ve been to that involves actual teaching. I attended Blend Retreat the past two years and while it was amazing to meet other bloggers, I’m also excited to see what the workshops are like. There are a million and one activities to sign up for, which is crazy different than Blend Retreat where the time is pretty wide open.

Here is my schedule so far:

Thursday:
1ish: Alex and Mollie arrive!
Sky Rooftop Bar Mingle (hopefully I can make it after my run with Girls on the Run–)
Friday:
8:45-11:45 am: A tour at Wild Harvest Bread (!!)
2ish: Katie arrives!
3:00-4:00pm: Balancing Blog and the Role of a Nutrition Professional Roundtable
6:00pm: Kindee Thai Dinner Mingle
8:00-10:00pm: HLS Cocktail Party at the Guthrie Theatre
Saturday:
Group run??
7:30am: Breakfast
8:00am-5:00pm Learning Blogging Things (not sure what, but hoping it will be good!)
5:30pm: Meet for Dinner at Crave
Sunday:
5K run?
9:00-11:00am: Farewell Breakfast
2:00pm: Steepery Afternoon Tea Mingle

Since Alex, Mollie, Katie and I will be staying at my apartment about 30 minutes away from the summit hotel, it will be a little different with scheduling as well. A lot of the meet-ups say “meet in hotel lobby,” but that might not be what we will do…depending on where the meet up is. We will see how it goes!

All I know is I’m excited and not at all ready!! That’s kind of how it goes, right? At least I have tomorrow off to do some cleaning! I’m also pretty excited to make this dessert for the ladies. S’mores Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pie.

I know, right? Instagram got pretty excited about it as well.

Recipe to come! Have a lovely week all!

Are you attending HLS?
Have you ever attended a blogger meet-up? Or, have you ever attended a conference where you didn’t know anyone? (this was my experience going into Blend last year and it was scary, but so worth it!)

  3. So excited to see you!! I was trying to figure out how I could attend that Wild Harvest tour, it sounds so fun but it would require me driving through the night Thursday or staying a hotel between here and there and then waking up really early to finish the drive. It just wasn’t possible but have fun and PUH-LEEZE fill me in on what I’m missing! 😉

  5. That S’mores pie looks incredible! I think we’ll be dining together at Kindee Thai. Look forward to meeting you!

  7. I will see you there! I’m leading the flapjack friday morning run, and I know a few locals are meeting at Mill City at 6:30 am instead of the lobby with me at 6:00 am. I’m debating that Steepery visit, I’m not sure if I’ll still have energy after a full day Friday and Saturday!

      • I’m going to squeeze both in! The run starts at 6:30, so I can’t imagine we’d get back later than 8 am, a quick shower and off to Wild Harvest! But I totally understand if you don’t want to jam pack the day.

  15. So jealous that I’m gonna miss all the fun with you ladies! I need to find another one to go to before blends. What else is there?
