Happy Monday, everyone!
I arrived back from Berlin last night and my trip was so much fun. Today I’m tackling the much-less-fun task of unpacking from Berlin and packing for America while also trying to get the house cleaned and ready.
So while I have so much to say about my trip, I’m going to start you off with a little photo tour. Because let’s be honest, it’s been tough easing into Monday!
// OUTDOORS
The streets in Berlin were enormous and complicated. More than once I found myself looking the wrong way for oncoming traffic!
The park at my front door – it was huge!
The door to my apartment building!
// UNDERGROUND
There wasn’t much not to love about the subway in Berlin. It was clean, came frequently and had the coolest colors!
Seafoam green subway tile. I may have taken a million more photos of all that pretty green!
// PEOPLE
There was a little moment with Design Mom and the mommy-fashion-bloggers Hauptstadt Mutti!
The lovely Anne from Pret-a-Voyager color coordinated her entire wardrobe for the weekend – and included her presentation! Check her packing tips here.
Ashley and Brittany had too many giggles for a serious photo. Story of our weekend!
And then Ashley brought out Hazel Blue and everyone melted. (She has her own tumblr and hashtag – #dailyhazel!)
Oh, and then I spoke. But more on that later – including tips from my presentation on how to create a great DIY tutorial in cased you missed it!
And much more on the wonderful Hive conference when my head stops spinning!

I’m so glad we were able to connect – your presentation was fantastic! I think it’s safe to say we all need to start planning our reunion in Berlin long before next year’s conference!
Yes, yes and yes! I would love if it we really made a reunion happen and soon! Bit addictive how fun it was to all be together!
I can’t wait to hear more about the conference! Will you be in the Village at all over the upcoming weekend? We’ll be there!
Oh no, I won’t make it up to China until Monday afternoon. When do you have to leave??
We’re heading out early Monday afternoon… So little time to spend there!
I wish I could have been there! I’m looking forward for more posts about Hive!
we are DEFINITELY planning a reunion soon! I have to admit that I feel pretty special that both me and my daughter made it into your post 🙂 Please come back soon!!! or we will come to Dublin and you can give me the tour. Love the cheerlead squad!
Ah, it wouldn’t be a #hive12 post if it didn’t have a little Hazel Blue love! I think you should come to Dublin – I’ll show you all the best parts!
Lovely pictures and so much fun!!
