I made back to Orlando late last night from Blog Brûlée, an RD food blogger retreat in Vermont. Connecting with old friends and meeting new ones that inspire me really builds me up.

While we did a great deal of learning from each other it was more like a “party” where we just spent time together, talking about food blogging from SEO and building a brand, to food photography, styling, and photo editing. I’ll be sure to share more about my major takeaways in upcoming blog posts.
Ann and I got out in the chilly weather yesterday morning for a hike to get our blood flowing before a day of travel. Vermont is so beautiful with the scenic views and lots of rolling hills… took me back to the Vermont City Marathon with Cabot Fit.
I feels refreshing to get back in my grove with workouts, work, and a normal sleep schedule. My body craves routine. It’s been hard to catch up on rest with all the travel that I’ve been doing. Grocery shopping usually happens on the weekends, so I’m thankful that my sweet husband was able to pick up some groceries for the week. #teamwork
