A few months ago, I ran a post about how much I stressed about what to pack for Blog World. I feel like I ended up doing pretty well, and was happy with my choices. In two weeks I leave to go to a regular work conference. Should be simple to pack, right? Normally, yes.…
Blog World Week continues on Road Warriorette! I had such a fabulous time, despite the somewhat rocky start.
