Before I forget I wanted to share a few quick links with you all about my exciting time at Mixed Conference last month in the beautiful mountains of Pembroke, Virginia at Mountain Lake Hotel!

I first shared about Mixed on this episode of Around the Kitchen Sink Radio  (and this blog post) and then after I got back in this episode with Linda Wallace of Red Gold Tomatoes!
