How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Clinging To The Bliss

in Uncategorized on 10/17/11

I’m home.  Back from four nights and five days away from my family to attend Blissdom Canada.  Thanks to AccudDial for sponsoring me! Before I left I had the laundry up to date and the house ship shape.  You know, because I am such an amazing domestic goddess. 

Now that I’ve returned, I’m back to dog hair on the floor, crumbs on the counter, countless field trip forms and endless to-do lists.  Sigh, I’m exhausted and honestly, bordering on grumpy.  I’m in no shape to write up the powerful post that Blissdom deserves so for now….some pictures to try and show the friendships that were formed, the smiles that were shared and yes, the bliss.

Thanks to each and every incredible woman who spared a moment of their time to talk to me, inspired and shared of themselves.  Thanks for bringing the Bliss I will do my very best to hang on to it!
