wow, looks like that was definitely a HOT post. i love the “realness” of it and thats definitely something that drew me to both of you, the fact that you were real in your interaction with everyone and when I asked you about your blog you really just spoke about what you love. you blog about what works for you and that’s what works

i’m looking forward to keeping up with this blog. i basically love everything i’ve seen so far. if you two ever host any events (cooking, etc.) i’m all over it!

So wishing I had spent more time with you guys! Thanks for this nice review – I agree with all of your points. We had no idea how each of the talks would go or the whole day, really, so we share some of the same opinion ourselves.

Love your blog (and the design!)

Hi Sues and Chels,
I liked your recap. You did a good job of giving your constructive criticism without being negative. You have such class, ladies. It’s always nice to hear different perspectives and I’m sure the Big 6 appreciated it as well. BTW, thanks for mentioning me in your post! That was so sweet. I’m so glad I had the chance to meet you. I’ll admit, I was psyched to see you two sitting right behind me. I hope to see you soon!

Awesome review. I saw you ladies – but we didn’t meet. That makes me pretty sad right now.

I did not attend the summit, and was thrilled that it was broadcast live. I spent almost my entire Saturday “there” with you guys who were. Someone commented in the chat room there that it seemed the face of healthy food bloggers was identical – one race, one gender. Hopefully next year there will be a bit more diversity.
I loved the live camera at the conference, and I wish we couldve sent in for swag bags, so we could try some of these fabulous goodies I’ve been seeing. Mail order swag! Just pay S+H! Im sure here are all kinds of rules against that, but it would be a cute idea. Hoping that I can attend next year!

love this post and comment on diversity. this blogging community lacks diversity in more ways than one. for months, i’ve been toying with the idea to start a blog and i might need to make it happen. i think i have something unique to add. xoxo

Honetsly, thank you for your take on the summit – good and bad. We originally wanted to do smaller break out sessions, but with the layout of the room being the way it was, we didn’t think it would be possible. Definitely something we aim to do next year.

As for the Amazing Grass, I think my fav. is the plain wheat grass in water. Don’t expect a wonderful taste sensation, it is grass after all.
