trade show swag

hey there blog world; remember me?

i have so much to tell you about. oodles of fun things have been going on. like that i got engaged; that i went to my first cooking class; that i attended my very first blogging conference; that i rocked my return debut as a social media diva. all that and more coming to a screen near you.

but first, the start of a new ongoing series. i am fortunate to get to travel all over the place both for work and for fun and sometimes i mash up of the two. already this year i’ve been on seven trips. what better place to share and document the snazzy {and sometimes not-so-snazzy} places i get to explore than here?! exactly.

i just returned yesterday from a trip to Cincinnati for a trade show. it was my first time in the great(?) state of ohio, in the land of chili (apparently there’s a 3/4/5 way at a place called skyline. who knew.) it was a short and sweet visit filled with booth hours, good food, cheap wine, trade show swag, and good times with some cool kids.

here’s what went down in cincy-whatski (babes in toyland, anyone?)
