We Attended A Blogging Conference In Chicago!
As many of you know, my family and I attended a large blogging conference last week in Chicago. This is the second time that I attend a conference and I wanted to have my family with me because I just couldn't bear to be away from them for even one minute. Before the trip, I set personal and professional goals for myself that would keep me focused throughout my stay. My husband and I drove for almost 14 hours to get there and I cannot even begin to describe the excitement that I felt when we finally arrived in the city of Chicago. I felt right at home since I live in a big city myself and I found that there were a lot of parallels between New York City and Chicago right away. I was very fortunate to have had my ticket to the conference sponsored in part by Noodle.org. Our collaboration was a match made in heaven because of my experience being a NYC public school teacher for the past 13 years and the fact that they are the first education search engine. … [Read more...]
We Loved The Hyatt Regency McCormick Hotel In Chicago! @HyattMcCormick #Sponsored
*This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hyatt Regency McCormick Hotel. All opinions are 100% mine. As many of you know, this past week I attended a blogging conference and took my family along for the trip. We had never visited Chicago before and I wanted to make sure that we stayed at the right hotel which would take my family's comfort into complete consideration. Although this trip was a mixture of business and pleasure, my main priority is always making sure that my family is happy whenever we travel. The Reservations Manager of the Hyatt McCormick, Liz, went above and beyond to ensure that all of our needs were met once we arrived in Chicago. I can honestly say that there wasn't an email that I sent her that ever went unanswered and her attention to detail was exemplary. She was very personable and professional and was always available to address any of my questions and concerns before and during our stay at the hotel. Due to the … [Read more...]
