Weekend Scoop: Miami Edition

Happy weekend! I flew to Miami Thursday to attend the Sheblogs Conference.  My sister and I are here as the co-owners of Two Savvy Sisters and we’ve enjoyed the great content to this point.

The conference kicked off with Guy Kawasaki and a free copy of his latest book.  I’ll share more about his presentation in the coming days.  We have already met some wonderful bloggers and connected with many brands.

Side benefit of the location is that I get to see my son’s new apartment and ease the empty nest syndrome a little.  I had no idea when I registered that he would be living there; life is interesting!

Around the Web

Last week I shared tips for online shopping at Couple Money.  Read before your next online purchase.  Yesterday, my article on health care tax breaks was published.
