I am also super impressed with the other women I met this weekend. I have to tell you, the people they picked for the 10 women faculty are fabulous (yea, I know I am including myself in that count, I feel fabulous, so why not...right?) Seriously meeting everyone was awesome. I already felt connected to Tiffany from The Secret is in the Sauce and Cecily from My Chaos My Bliss through blogging, personal email, phone calls and texting. And I gotta tell you those two girls are F-U-N, but there was an instant connection with all the other women too. I didn't want the weekend to end, it was just click, click, click...everything clicked. AND the people from Mr. Youth; Kelly, Kristin and Laura...awesome. I cannot say enough about the beautiful accommodations, the way they took care of us and the organization and time that went into putting together this truly incredible event. OH and the Pepperidge Farm executives totally great too, I had a blast meeting everyone and I can't wait to get to work spreading the word about this fantastic initiative. I have a few fun contests lined up all centered around Fishful Thinking so keep an eye out for those!
I was not my typical Mamarazzi self this weekend and have very few pictures to share. I was WAY too busy soaking up all of the Fishful Thinking Goodness. I really didn't leave the comfy accommodations of the beautiful hotel except for dinner on Saturday night. The few pictures I actually did take are messed up, I think my camera is broken.
In other news. I had planned on spending today in bed (I was soooo tired after the fun weekend and the many miles of travel) but got a phone call at 10am from J's school. She fainted during gym class and fell hard smacking her pretty face on the blacktop. We decided to take her to the Doctor, just to be safe. We still are not sure exactly what happened, but her blood pressure was low and so were her oxygen levels. Her Doctor is chalking it all up to her still getting over a cold and having a heavy cycle. So she has a pretty good shiner and is taking it easy, but it was a scary moment for her and an eventful afternoon for us.
So yep...back into the mama swing of things. How are y'all?

I'm the first to comment!! So glad you had a great time! I thought about you all weekend! Poor J! I hope the shiner heals quick! Hope you feel better young lady!
And you Mamarazzi deserve to rest! So go kick your feet up and relax!
Sounds like a great weekend!!
My older daughter passed out twice. They never found anything. It is very frustrating.
I'm glad things went well! It really sounds great!
I hope Jordan is feeling better:0)
Take care!
Oh no...bless her heart! I'd have totally taken her to the dr. too. I'm praying she feels better and that she can find a fab hat or headband to cover to shiner!
Sounds like fun! Glad you had a great time!
Ah! I've got to tell you, one of my favorite things is going to the doctor and having them find no known cause to answer with.. Hope she feels better soon!
I'm so glad you're still feeling so great about the whole Fishful thinking thing. We love those fish here!
Oh and I passed out nuuuuumerous times around her age. Mine was all blood pressure and blood sugar related. Nothing that couldn't be solved by eating a small snack and not overdoing it when I was run down. I bet she'll be fine and will start to read the clues like I have.
It sounds like you had the most awesome time and you deserve it!
Welcome back! <3
I'm glad you had fun! I'm happy to know she'll be okay.
Sounds great!
Tell J SWEET job on gettin' outta PE for a week! Nice! Seriously though, I hope she's ok...you are a good mom to take her in and make sure everything is ok.
Can't wait to see some pictures of your trip!!!

I didn't take any pics either & my batteries were old, so the pics I did take were fuzzy. I guess that just means we all need to get together again for more photo opps.
I had such a great time and can't wait to get to know you better as we work together over the next few months!
Fun post :). Motivating me to get my booty in gear and write one. I was too tired today. Got in at 1 a.m.. There's always tomorrow, right?
Sincerely... jyl
Oh, poor Jordan! Thank goodness you were home to take care of her today.
Soooo glad you had a great time. I can hardly wait to hear the details!
I still need to post about our awesome experience... but need to enjoy Spring Fling first!!!
Hope Jordan is okay!

I ran out of steam last night when I looked at the clock and it was after midnight and I knew I had to get up early this morning....

Glad you had fun!
Poor Jordan. Hope she feels better.
Glad you had a rewarding trip!
