Check in.
Conference organizers Mardi, Ethan and Melissa did their
homework with the location of the very first Canadian food bloggers conference. Hockley Valley Resort provided us with a rustic, yet
comfortable setting, stellar service, and hand’s down the best food I’ve
enjoyed at any conference.
Fires flickering in the foyer set a warm, welcoming tone
that continued throughout the entire weekend - even when we lost power for a
few hours.
It is safe to say that Hockley will be seeing
me again, perhaps on a future anniversary getaway, ideally when the garden is
bursting and the grapes are ripe on the vine.
Leave the bed unmade.
This part was kind of how I imagine life would be like at
Downton Abbey. The clothes I left of the floor were picked up and
folded and the bed was made for me – not to mention adorned with a bag of
molasses cookies.
Speaking of bed, I wanted to add the whole package - sheets, canopy, douvet, mattress - to my tab and bring it all home. Is a bed considered an incidental? Gosh. That bed was dreamy.
And the view from my balcony? Like Narnia.
Help yourself by helping out
I spent most of Friday playing Santa and channeling Oprah while laughing with a fantastic community of food bloggers from coast to coast. At least that’s what it felt like. It certainly didn’t feel like work.
We volunteered to help the conference organizers with some
of the behind-the-scenes tasks such as stuffing swag bags (above) and registering some
90 attendees (below).
It was humbling to work with these strong Canadian women,
each as unique as the province they represented. The conference hadn't even started and I already felt enriched just by knowing them.
Smile, and greet Canada’s finest food bloggers in one afternoon
As registrants trickled up the stairs and over to our table
to pick up their name tag and badge, I had to pinch myself to make sure this was
really happening. So many familiar faces that I usually see in my Twitter stream were materializing before our booth.
Their excitement was palpable. I'm sure mine was too.
What else can you do at a food blogging conference? Let's keep going.
Kick off dinner with a poutine starter - pommes frites, cheese curd and a red wine reduction. Eat two bowls and treat yo self.

Enjoy some of the finest wine Ontario has to offer, while you listen to gentlemen from the wineries eloquently share their stories of success. Appreciate their Bradly Cooper-ish good looks - and toast with another glass.
Get goofy in the Kitchen Aid photo booth with Canada's Queen of Cookie. Hit up their milkshake bar afterward, because poutine and roast beef dinner isn't excessive enough for one night.
Geek out over session after session of stellar speakers. Appreciate the militia-like manner in which moderator, Allison, keeps everything on track.
Breathe a sigh of relief when your own panel is over. Realize that sharing 9 photos that show your culinary journey wasn't a totally dorky move.
Eat way too many Cherry Bourbon Blondies right before dinner, accompanied by a bottle or two of wine. Relish in friendships that span the country and stand the test of time, yet never grow cold.
Sit next to Corey Mintz at dinner and laugh uproariously for two hours with Jan, Danny, Corey and Marian. Discus making lunch for Ruth Reichl, how Craigslist was the demise of newspapers, dinner parties with kids, and your least favorite body features.
Witness Mairlyn throw food and carry out other capers. Listen to Corey and Dana discuss the merits of horse meat.
Gawk over cookies by Art to Eat. Realize that Adell is even sweeter than her cookies, and that you kind of want to be just like her when you grow up.
Also be impressed by these absolutely incredible Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer Cookies made and distributed by Marian of Sweetopia.
Fall asleep on someone's shoulder, but only if you are under two feet tall.

Reading this post an am living the moment again and again. So many memories of a week-end that was a success. The friendships we made will last for a long time. What a cute picture of baby Clara, she is so comfy :)
Impressed by the format you chose to share your experience at the conference. Am really enjoying the styles I am seeing from so many... your humble attitude coupled with the magnitude of capabilities you own is completely charming, Aimee.
I so loved this time of my life, too. The momming and the growing with my family...
:)

Valerie - I went in the opposite direction of serious for this one! I know other have done really useful posts, but I had this silliness in my head. What was I to do? ;)
Thanks for reading.
Aimee, you are a gifted writer! I enjoyed the wit and details of your recap. and will treasure the memories made this past weekend always! xo
Such a great way to recap the weekend, Aimée. This was such fun to read and brought me right back to being amidst it all. Thank you!
I love this recap, Aimée! Cute, funny, and totally engaging. :)
Oh Aimée - leave it to you to sum up the weekend in a thoughtful yet fun way. Thank YOU for all your help and support for FBC2013. We so appreciate all you do!
I still feel so grateful to be among such an inspiring group of women.
Thank you for the wonderful post Aimee.
Hey Aimée!
Looks like you had a blast!
Wondering....were you still planning on sharing the overnight cinnamon roll recipe?
Also wondering, any idea if you'll be dining at le Cirque in Vegas when you are there?
Great post! I went to a blogging conference last year and really didn't enjoy it....it wasn't Blogher of course! I'd love to make it Blogher one day and take it all in!
