After all the anticipation from January when I bought my first #BlogHer conference ticket – I am super excited for this week’s #BlogHerFood convention this week in Miami, Florida! Now you may be wondering what is the big deal? Well for me, from the beginning of Stagetecture in 2009 I’ve been considered a ‘design blogger’ which means my website blog is focused around home design, decor, and architecture. Over the last two years I’ve been exploring new categories for home lifestyle and naturally recipes have become a new hit on Stagetecture!
