As many of you know, this past weekend the Alex AKA  and I made our way down to Chicago along with Ellie to attend the 2012 International Home and Housewares Show. This was our first year attending and I can guarantee that we will definitely be going back but hope we will be able to attend all 4 days—even though I don’t think 4 days will be enough time to cover the entire show.

2.6 million square feet of space is a lot to cover!

We met some great new people, learned about some great new products and cannot wait to share everything with you!

There was just so much stuff to see.

It was also a weekend of firsts for Baby Ellie.  It was her first road trip, first time out of the state, first blog event, first trade show and first celebrity meeting.

Yes, Baby Ellie met her first celebrity.

But that is a whole other post that I promise to share with you before the end of the week!

Right now I need to get to bed because I am still recovering from attending the IAlexA show!
