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!
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!)
Linking up to the lovely healthy diva!

So excited to meet you this weekend!

You too Julie!!

Katie Arnold
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! 😉
Amanda aka Semi-Health Nut
Well, at least you are coming at all, right?? 🙂

Katie Cummings
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!
Amanda aka Semi-Health Nut
I was going to go to the flapjack Friday, but then Wild Harvest sent out an e-mail and I couldn’t pass it up!! So many choices this weekend…I want to do everything!!
Katie Cummings
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.
Amanda aka Semi-Health Nut
Yeah I’m staying at my apartment in Woodbury (30ish minutes away) so I don’t want to cut it too close!! I’m so sad I’m missing the run though!!

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?
Amanda aka Semi-Health Nut
I think this is all for me this year! These get-togethers are fun but pretty costly…I’m just lucky HLS is close to where I live!!
