Me, Sophia, and Ree
I love book festivals. Last year, Will and I visited the National Book Festival where I was able to see some of my favorite authors: James Patterson, John Grisham, Paula Deen, and Nicholas Sparks, among others. I had a blast! This meant, of course, that I definitely wanted to go back this year. And, after I checked the the list of authors, one stood out: Ree Drummond. The Pioneer Woman.
Last year the National Book Festival was PACKED, so I was a bit intimidated at the thought of taking my not-even-two-month-old along. I was thrilled to find out that Baltimore was hosting its own book festival the very next day, and none other than Ree Drummond was also on that list of authors!
On Sunday, Will and I got both kids ready and braved Ravens stadium traffic to head into Baltimore. It was well worth it! It wasn't nearly as crowded as the D.C. festival. In fact, I got to sit in the second row to hear Ree speak, and let me say that she is just as funny and humble in person as she is on her blog. I was thrilled to meet her and get my cookbook signed- and she couldn't have been sweeter. I have since tried quite a few of the recipes, and they have all been absolutely delicious!

I LOVED her boots!
