It’s official.
The final Harry Potter movie is awesome.
As a big Harry Potter fan – someone who has read all of the books and seen all of the movies – I had high hopes for the final film. Both Ryan and I agreed that it was a great conclusion to such an epic series of amazing movies. It’s hard to believe that the first Harry Potter movie came out when I was in high school and the final one made its debut yesterday, now that I’m four years removed from college.
After the movie, it was pouring outside, so Ryan and I decided to duck into a nearby frozen yogurt shop.
How convenient!
Delicious, as always. I think I will be adding Heath bar bits to all of my fro yo cups in the future.
The rest of our evening was spent at Moe’s eating delicious Mexican food before enjoying a quiet night in.
The Workout that Wasn’t
As I went to bed last night, I had plans to wake up early to work out, but when 6 a.m. rolled around, I decided to skip my workout for the day in favor of some extra sleep. I am going to my first ever blogger conference in Maitland at 9 a.m. today and figured I’d just take today as my rest day and workout tomorrow. Ain’t no thang.
After a quick shower, I headed downstairs to make myself breakfast and pack a lunch for the conference. (I think you have an option to buy lunch, so I’m packing a bag to save some moo-lah.)
Breakfast was a yummy smoothie bowl!
I think all of the frozen yogurt I ate yesterday left me craving more creamy and cool food this morning.
And now I’m off to learn all about blogging. My friend and former coworker Lisa is also attending and I’m really excited to see her!
Questions of the Morning
- Have you ever been to a blogging conference? If so, which one and how was it? If not, would you want to go to one?

Have fun at the conference! I always put heath toffee on my froyo 🙂 so good!
You are going to have so much fun! I went to my first one this year in Boulder- Fitness and Health Bloggers Conference. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! Plus, it was in Boulder. Plus Plus, Whole Foods was a sponsor! Be prepared for information overload. Have a great day Julie!
I attended Food Blog Forum in Atlanta last fall. I really loved meeting other food bloggers, but I felt very intimidated. I was definitely a very small fish in a big pond. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, though. Have fun today!
I agree about Harry Potter! Great end to the series. That froyo looks great!
Have a great time at the conference
I’ve never been to a blogger conference, I’m fairly new to the blogging game 🙂 but I think it would be fantastic! Have fun!
I NEED TO GO SEE HARRY POTTER RIGHT NOW!
I love days like that– where you wake up and decide its a rest day 😀
If you haven’t noticed, I’m a HUGE fan of occasional lazy days 😉
Girl. When Harry Potter and Froyo are involved, NO WORKOUT NECESSARY. Love you have a good dayyy! <3
I’ve never been to a blogging conference before, but I just commented on Meghann’s blog that I would love to do that—I need to check and see if Baltimore has anything like this that I can check out!
And I’m so glad you enjoyed HP as much as I did. I thought it was perfection—and I was absolutely that person who was clapping and whooping and smiling like a fool. It was glorious!
I would so love to go to a bloggy conference! sigh…..have fun at yours 🙂
I’ve never been to a blogging conference but I would definitely like to go if I get the chance in the future!
Never been to one. I wonder what it would be like….
Fill us in when you get back! Have a good weekend.
LOVED HP. I’m the same age as the actors, so it’s weird to watch the earlier movies now and see how young I was then!
I’ve been to Fitbloggin, HLS and Foodbuzz. Loved them all, but Foodbuzz was my favorite just because San Francisco is such an amazing town to explore.
First conference will be HLS in Philly in August! So excited to see you and it is such an easy drive for me that I couldn’t refuse!
Have fun at the conference! I wish I was going to the HLS this year…booo. Oh well, perhaps if my blog is still making it next year I can go! I got some fro-yo last night…ahh it was delicious!
I have not been to a blog conference before. Enjoy yours today!
I bought a ticket to HLS but I’m actually thinking about selling it to save some money — plane rides and hotels are not as cheap as I thought they’d be!
I’ve never been to a blogging conference but I’d love to go to one someday. I’m always looking to improve my craft! 🙂
And GAH!! I can’t WAIT to see Harry Potter! I think we’re going tonight 🙂
I can’t wait to see the last Harry Potter movie! I’m a big fan 🙂
I’ve never been to a blogging conference. Would love to though!
Heath bits are my favorite! And I have plans tonight to eat delicious mexican food, get frozen yogurt, and go see harry potter! I think we both know how to have a good time! 🙂
I’d love to go to a blogging conference! They always look like so much fun.
I’ve never been to a blogger conference, but I LOVED Harry Potter!!!!! Soo0o0o0o0o0o good!!!!!
…And I have to ask, where do you get your fro-yo?
It always looks super delicious! 🙂
Menchie’s or Mochi 🙂
Impromptu rest days must be going around today- I wussed outta my run this morning because of the rain but my body seems to be thanking me for it!
I still haven’t seen HP and it’s killing me!! I love the series so much, it’s so sad to see it come to an end.
I’ve never been to a blogging conference but do believe it would be super awesome, so many great people in one room, what’s not to love! 🙂
Harry Potter date? Fun! Happy Saturday!!!
I haven’t seen Harry Potter yet, I have to wait till Wednesday and I’m getting desperate! 😛
Have fun at the conference, I’d love to go to one!
I saw the new Harry Potter yesterday! I wanted to cry at the end when I started thinking about how it’s all over now..Like harry potter has always been in my life and now…It’s gone 🙁 I mean it’s there! But nothing new now to expect *sigh*…I need to go back and read the books!
& never been to a conference but I’d love to go!
LOVED Harry Potter last night, and we also got fro yo afterwards (Nutella, mmm). Never been to a blogging conference, think it would be really interesting though!
Yummm froyo!!
yay have fun i can’t wait to hear about it!
and um HUGE HARRY POTTER FAN! have not seen the movie yet but i hear so many great things i can’t waittt!!
I saw it last night, and cried like a baby. I had a hard time controlling myself and not sobbing out loud :S
For big fans like us, it really seems like the end of an era doesn’t it? It’s hard to think I’ll no longer be waiting for the next book or movie to be released.
Plus I was super happy for J to FINALLY know the ending, it’s been killing me to keep it a secret ever since the book came out!
Hope the conference is a good one! I’ve never been to a bloggin conference and was really hoping to be able to attend HLS but other plans got in the way. Hope you’ll share some of the content with us when you get back!
I haven’t ever been to a blog conference but I REALLY want to go to the Vegas one in December:)
My friend from Visit Orlando is attending the same conference. Have fun!
I didn’t even realize blog conferences existed! I guess I’ll know I made it big when that happens! And I also have a fro yo “problem” (some people call it that anyway…) 🙂
I have never seen any of the movies or read any of the books. It just doesn’t sound interesting to me. But now that the movies are all out, maybe I’ll actually have to try out the first one.
totally agree, Harry Potter was AMAZING. I’m going to see it for the second time tonight.
I would love to go to a blogging conference, but there aren’t any near me and I feel like I’m too much of a newbie to justify traveling so far for one
Hey Julie!
I was walking past Petterino’s yesterday afternoon (I live and go to school in Chicago!) and I was thinking about how crazy it would have been to randomly see you last week when you were in town for that wedding! My cousin is also a teacher at your old highschool. The world is so small. 🙂
Anyways, this year I’m running the Chicago Half Marathon in September (again) with a training/charity team called Team to End AIDS. I’ve been raising money that will go to the AIDS Foundation of Chicago. So far I’ve already exceeded my minimum and just hosted a big fundraiser at my work. I want to raise more though! Maybe you can post my link for anyone who would want to donate? Even $5 makes a huge difference!
Please and thank you girl!! http://afc.aidschicago.org/netcommunity/kimib2
I am glad you loved the movie!! Wasn’t it epic, and awesome?!
Have fun at the conference! 🙂
Harry Potter + fro-yo = perfection!
Would you believe that I’ve never seen any of the HArry potters or read any of them? I still havent gotten on the train…i think i need to though.
The movie was awesome!! I went through hot flashes during it because of the suspense!
Harry Potter rules. That is all.
I live literally across the street from a menchies I have to fight to froyo urge EVERY day! Have fun at the blogging conference! I’d love to go to one especially because I live in a big convention city, vegas!
We went to Harry Potter last night too! I would totally go again! 🙂 I haven’t ever gone to a blogger conference but I think it would be so fun to actually meet people and learn new things at one!
Have fun at the conference!
I really want to attend a blogging and/or health related conference. Topics that interest and excite me w/ cool people – sounds like a good time to me!
Oh mannnnn thinking about how quickly time flies makes me feel sooo old! haha, I’m still young but you know….
And I’d love to go to a blog conference! I haven’t been yet, and wanted to go to HLS but not able to. Have a beautiful day Julie!
Oh! And have you tried the Heath Bar froyo from Golden Spoon?!! Well, they taste more like ice cream but that flavor is realllly good, as is the graham cracker one 🙂
I would love to go to a blog conference to learn more about it. I hope you are able to post the high lights : )
Harry Potter was the best! It was fun for me that my boys insisted that we go to the midnight showing! They are 11 and 13 years old and even said they would take a nap so they wouldn’t fall asleep during the movie…. hahaha!! We had a great time and I definitely cried in the end. I will miss it!
I’m looking forward to what you think about the blogging conference…. I would love to attend one! 🙂 Looking forward to your recap!
I’m so glad the final HP movie is good; I can’t wait to see it!
I’m a super new blogger, but one day I would love to go to a conference. Have fun at yours!
LOVED the last movie…. so much!! I thought the epilogue was perfect and just made my imagination go wild! I just saw you at CFLBlogCon but didn’t get a chance to say hi 🙂
I wonder how on earth you’d even find out about blogging conferences?! I guess just good old google?
I’ve never been, but I’d love to go! Maybe HLS NEXT summer?!
