If we were having coffee today, I would tell you that I recorded a vlog + for some reason when I hit done it disappeared. It was probably best since I was a little emotional (in a good way) just by all the amazing friends I have both in and out of the blogging world and just how far Pollinate has come in the last year.
I would tell you that today I had the honor of spending time with my sweet friend Lisa Leonard, who I have had the honor of getting to know over the last couple of weeks. She was on NBC Studio 5, Utah’s local station this morning for a DIY segment and y’all, she did so amazing! I would be so intimidated, but she has an incredible way of putting a smile over everyones face who is around her. That is such a special gift. Lisa did an awesome Hand Stamped Spoons DIY, be sure to check it out.
I would tell you how much I love these girls that I’ve had the privilege of rooming with for the 2nd year. Yes we met blogging, but our friendship has grown into so much more than blogging. We have laughed together, cried together, cheered each other on + prayed for one another. I’m so blessed to do life with these ladies. I was thinking today about the friendships God has given me + I truly mean given them to me. I’ve always felt like I’ve struggled to find friends who I can be real with, I mean really real with, on the good and bad days + I have some incredible friends in my life right now.

If we were having coffee I would tell you that these are two big dreams coming true! I’m feeling so honored to be speaking at SNAP this year + to have Pollinate as a media sponsor. I’m not going to lie, picking my badge up today made me a little teary eyed today. I just kept looking at it overwhelmed in the best way at just how amazing God is and how far we’ve come in the last year. I’m beyond blessed!! Kyle none of this would be possible if it weren’t for your daily encouragement! Love you so much!! xo
If we were having coffee I would tell you that this is exactly how friendships should look! Silly, fun and full of laughter! I promise I’ll be back next week with a vlog!
If we were having coffee, what would you tell me?

Dana at Happy Little Lovelies says
Aw, that is so fun! And I agree….finding those kind of friends is hard and it makes the ones you have really, really special. Happy for you and those amazing dreams you have. Praying for you as you go to speak….that’s incredible!
Debbie @ Deliciously Inspired says
The smiles say it all. More valuable than money – true friends and a supportive husband. God gives the best gifts for our journey. Have a great presentation – you know your stuff – now go let your joy sparkle out to those in the audience.

Looks like you’re having so much fun at SNAP! I’m SO excited that Pollinate was a media sponsor for this conference. You are doing amazing things with the group and I’m so proud of all your success Alissa!
Andrea Worley says
So fun! Wishing I was at SNAP! this year again. I remember that’s where I met your briefly over breakfast last year. I had so much fun last year, but mommy duties call this year. Looks like you’re having so much fun.

I feel like a grand supreme jerk, now that I just realized I linked up and never commented on your post! I mean dang, you’re the host – I’m supposed to thank you for hosting! 😉
Ahhhh that is so awesome you got to SPEAK at a blog conference!! Holy insane! I read a little bit about Snap Conference recently and it sounds seriously incredible. I attended Blissdom last month – my first blog conference – and now I’m dying to attend more (much to my husband’s dismay… hard to justify these big expenses when your blog isn’t making money… YET!)
Anyway, thank you for hosting this linkup – I seriously love it!!
