My Battle Plan for BlissDom '13

Me Mondays: 

There's nothing like trying to get through a long list of to-do items and errands than to make the mistake of jumping on your blog and start changing up the look...then realizing you don't have one place to change the look, but several platforms like: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and more. #scatterbrained #badtiming

So I have to ask: what do yout think of the new look? I've many ideas, but this was one I could put together without the help of a real designer (if you know one, I'm all for reasonable suggestions!) 

Anyhow, today like many Sundays, I'm putting together our family plan for the week. What to eat, laundry, appointments, and for me since I'm going to be at BlissDom, developing my agenda! 

This is the first time BlissDom will be in Dallas and only about 15 minutes from home. While I won't be staying at the Gaylord (one of my favorite DFW hotels), I'm planning to attend as much as possible while keeping up my mom duties at home and a few appointments and blog events in between! #goodluckwiththat 

For all my "Bliss Buddies" (and to keep myself in line), I'm sharing my battle plan of action for #BlissDom 2013 as well as a little 'bout me!

Now, a litle about me in a nutshell: 

I'm a proud Texas gal that likes to keep busy - otherwise, why would I blog!?!

I play mama to two kids (jackson/4 years old & Taylor/18 month girl) and wife to Chad, whom I met in college at the University of North Texas. In between, I work in marketing/public relations, contribute to 3 blogs as well as my own, mamachallenge.com. I love to travel when I can, trying new restaurants, cooking and attempting to enjoy everything Dallas/Fort-Worth has to offer!

Here's a little more from me in action and why I decided started blogging.

Now that you know me, I'd love to learn a little more about you! Are you going to BlissDom? If so, make sure to connect with me and let's try to meet up! 

@challengememama, #BlissDom
