How was your Christmas?! Can you believe it’s over? Well, mine isn’t – we have had two Christmas celebrations, and are having another one today. Lot’s of family time…it’s been pretty fantastic. But that’s not what I’m here to talk to you guys about today. I have something that is equally as exciting as Christmas….
Janetha, Lindsay, and I have been hard at work planning a special event. We love our blog friends. We love eating. We love working out (most of the time.) While blogging conventions are okay…they are usually jam-packed with various speakers and seminars that leave little time for actual hang time with blog friends, which is the whole reason we attend those conventions in the first place! Our solution? The BLEND Retreat!! (named so by the lovely Susanbecause blogger+friend=BLEND!)
Is set for May 4-6, 2012 in Boulder, Colorado. BLEND will have no speakers, no seminars, just fun and fellowship! There will be a welcome cocktail party, three sponsored meals, group fitness classes each morning, hiking, sight-seeing, swag bags, t-shirts, and a huge raffle. It has been an amazing process to actually get this up and running, we have had so much support from some fantastic companies. But our official sponsor who is making BLEND a reality is Chobani! Even more fun, Chobani is backing the retreat with their new wellness initiative, Chobani Fit.
I am just so excited I can hardly stand it.
Tickets for BLENDwill go on sale mid-January and will be $75. We are currently working out the logistics of how to arrange the lodging—the location is actually a whole slew of individual, cozy cabins at the base of Chautauqua Park. It’s going to be like blogger summer camp.

Right now our goal is to spread the word about BLEND and Chobani fit…so it’s time for a giveaway! They generously giving away a package of THREE 32 ounce containers of yogurt! One vanilla, one plain 0%, and one plain 2%.
Because we are aiming to spread the awareness about BLEND, all entry requirements are made to do just that. You can enter on ANY of our sites: Meals and Moves, Lindsay’s List or right HERE on Yes, I want cake.

I tweeted! What a great time it’ll be. I don’t blog (yet; I should really get on that… I made a blog, after all!) but mostly I don’t think I’ll have the airfare/rooming $ to make the trip from metro Detroit. I can’t wait to read about the adventures, though!
I so want to go! It sounds AMAZING! That’s awesome that Chobani is the sponser
