On the Road…Coast to Coast

October 1, 2009 By Melanie Edwards 1 Comment

I’m in LA. And I arrived just two days after coming home from the Type-A Mom conference.

I’m here visiting the Nestle headquarters and learning more about Nestle Family and the various brands they offer.

Nestle invited a group of bloggers to come out for two days to be a part of their Happy, Healthy Gathering. They’re listening to our input as moms and dads and providing us with information on what they do for parents.

And, yes, I know there’s a big uproar on twitter regarding the trip. I’m trying to stay out of it for the most part.

I’ll get into the details of my trip at a later time, just like I’ll also post about the Type-A Mom conference.

Later….

First, I have to recover from both trips. (No, I haven’t yet recovered from the first one.)

As if that wasn’t enough, I leave late tonight to head back to Orlando and arrive tomorrow morning. My airplane seat will be my bed tonight. And hopefully, I can be awake enough when I arrive to head out to Seaworld for IZEAFest. I may just miss a few sessions on Friday morning, though.

It’s been a very busy end of September and now beginning of October. Seriously, people, do you have to plan these conferences/events so close together? 😉

Thankfully, I have a loving and supportive husband.

But, I do miss my family.
