Last weekend I sneaked away from The Declare Conference for several hours to attend the first night of The Hundred Event, an intimate–limited to 100 attendees–blogging conference.
The Hundred was hosted by Lauren, Megan Graham, Bridget Hunt, and Grace Patton.
When Bridget announced The Hundred on her blog in June, I was super excited and wanted to go, but I’d already committed to Declare. Because God is good and wants us to be happy, Bridget and her girls offered a Friday night only option, and I immediately purchased a ticket.
I’m so glad I did.

Sweet Julia is originally from Argentina and now lives in San Francisco. Her blog is funny and has lots of good mommy info.
In the few hours I was there, I met so many talented, kind girls, including a fellow Dallas blogger, Kendi Skeen. Kendi and I chatted for a bit during the happy hour–turns out our husbands went to high school together, and my mother-in-law works for the company Kendi used to work for.
Kendi was the keynote speaker that night; it’s so encouraging and helpful to hear wisdom and advice from more experienced bloggers.
The dinner was sponsored by British clothing brand Joules–swoon. They provided us with super generous swag bags, which was a fun surprise.
I was lucky enough to be seated at the same table as the owners of Lily Jade; their bags are beautiful and extremely practical. I have my eye on a few.
chatting with my table mates. Not sure what’s going on with my hands.
So, it was a fun night with lovely people, delicious food, good information, and a plethora of drinks. I’m definitely sad that I missed out on the rest of the weekend with The Hundred girls. Next year, it’s a date–yes? Yes.
