One thing I love about blogging is the community. Recently I had the opportunity to attend Thrive Blog Conference, in which I met some amazing bloggers. One of the bloggers I had the privilege of meeting was Jaclyn who blogs at Beauty and the Binky. She is such an amazingly beautiful person and I am so glad to have been able to meet her through the conference.
This past weekend Jaclyn hosted a Spring Fling Brunch at PESKA Seafood Culture, in which I had the opportunity to attend with some fellow Houston bloggers. I loved being able to reconnect with bloggers I had already met at the conference and enjoyed connecting with new bloggers whom I had not had the chance to meet. It’s so great to find other women who have the same love for blogging as myself and being able to meet them face to face.
From the mimosas to the decor and the food, along with connecting with some lovely ladies, I had such an amazing time. One thing I really enjoyed was being able to sit back and goof off with these amazing ladies, while also learning blogging tips from them. It just shows that there is room for everyone in the blogging world and that the support that you receive from each other is like no other. I am so lucky to be apart of such an amazing group of strong and supportive women.
Here is a little bit of a recap of the awesome decorations and food we ate.
A huge Thank You again to Jaclyn for hosting such an awesome brunch, which left none of us hungry or thristy! If you’re ever in the Houston area and looking for a good place to eat, I highly recommend PESKA Seafood Culture.
Love the bright, spring decorations. Looks like a fun event!

Im sad I missed meeting you at the brunch. We have a great group of Houston bloggers!
Sara I wish we would have been able to meet! Hopefully soon. We do have an amazing group of Houston bloggers! 🙂
I’m so jealous of you Texas bloggers – I feel like there are so many of you!! Love it. This brunch looks so lovely, bright, colorful, and full of lovely smart women.
Lindsay we have an amazing group of bloggers here in Houston. I can not wait to meet more inspiring women. I was so impressed with everything at this brunch. Jaclyn did such a great job with everything and the staff at PESKA along with the food was amazing.
That looks so lovely! I hope to one day attend blogging conferences! The decorations were so cute!
Heather everything was so lovely. I hope one day you get to attend a blog conference. It is so worth it!
The food looks so good, I’m basically drooling over here in Massachusetts! I’ve never been to Houston but it’s on my places to visit in 2016 so I’ll definitely have to stop by PESKA Seafood Culture!

Rachel the food was amazing! They kept on bringing out food and we were all like wow, we thought that was it. I promise you will not be disappointed if you go there when you visit Houston. 🙂
Um….yum! That looks so great and fun and social! I will be in El Salvador for Easter so I will likely be having El Salvadorian food! Ha ha.
Heather it was all so good!!! All of us were so full by the time we had left. 🙂
Ah!!! I missed the Thrive conference and I’ve never been to Peska, but you have me adding it to our list of restaurants to try in town. Glad you got to meet many of the other awesome Houston ladies here 🙂
Steff Thrive was so amazing! Hopefully you’ll be able to attend next year. Peska was so good and definitely a place you should visit soon! I had a great time with all of the awesome ladies.
What beautiful, bright, springy decorations. I love them! I bet the company was just as amazing. I dream of getting to go to a blogging conference!
Leslie everything was absolutely amazing. We also got this grab bag that was so amazing. Jaclyn overdid herself with this brunch. If you ever get to attend a blogging conference I highly suggest it. They are a lot of fun and it’s great being able to network with other bloggers. 🙂
I love that beautiful, bright decorations. Looks like a very fun event.
Jnellie I loved all the decorations. It was perfect and we all had a great time. 🙂
So fun! The decorations are beautiful and the food looks delicious. Great pictures! I like the one of everyone at the table snapping pics with their phones. You can totally tell it’s a bunch of bloggers! 🙂
Shann the decorations were so pretty and perfect for Spring. The food was so good. I was like gosh there is more? Where am I going to fit this? You def know we are a bunch of bloggers when we are all trying to find the perfect angle to take pictures of everything. 🙂
How fun! Everything looks absolutely delicious. What a great way to get together and celebrate.

Shannon it was a lot of fun! The food was absolutely yummy. 🙂
The first thing I noticed about this post was how beautiful all your photos are! I love the bright colors 🙂 I’m dying to attend a blogging conference, but it’s hard because we live in Hawaii and usually just the cost to get to wherever they are (even in CA) is pretty high. The food at yours looks incredible!
Thank You Kait! I have been trying to improve my photography skills, so that makes me happy that you noticed the photos. 🙂 If you ever get the chance to attend a blogging conference do it! I promise you it will be such an amazing experience. I do understand that living in Hawaii is not ideal to be able to attend one but hopefully one day you will be able to. P.S. I am so jealous that you live in hawaii. It is beautiful there!
Such beautiful décor, and what a fabulous opportunity for you all!
Hollie the decor was perfect for the Spring Fling theme. We all had a great time meeting up.
How fun! Now you have me dying to move back to Houston even more haha.
xoxo, Jenny

Great recap! I had so much fun at the brunch. Sorry I didn’t get to talk to you more, but I’m sure we’ll meet up again soon!
Thank You Shalanda! I hope that we are able to talk more at the next event. 🙂
I love the events Jaclyn hosts and I’m sorry I had to miss this one. I went to PESKA for their opening and their food was amazing. If you go back you need to try their dragon’s breath dessert. It’s so fun! Looks like you ladies had a lot of fun, hope to run into you sometime soon!
Michelle this was the first event that I attended that was hosted by Jaclyn and she did an amazing job. I heard though that she is great at hosting events. I hope to be able tog o back there soon and I will have to try the dragon’s breath dessert. Hopefully we will run into each other soon.
Those flowers! That spread! All those lovely ladies and incredible food!
“Mornings are for Mimosas” << agreed! 🙂 I was sorry to miss the Thrive conference this year, it was such a blast last year.
Rachel I agree the flowers were beautiful. I had such an amazing time with all the ladies and of course the food was so good! Hopefully you can make it to Thrive next year. It was a blast!
WOW that looks soooo yummy! What type of oysters did they have? Sometimes I have trouble finding non-gulf oysters. These look like they could be from somewhere else…. Either way I’m definitely going to have to check them out 🙂
Catherine everything was so yummy! To be honest I am not sure what type of oysters they had. They were really good though. If you visit you will not be disappointed.
Love all the decor! I saw pictures from the event on Instagram and was hoping someone would post a review soon. Looks like yall had a blast! 🙂
Kathleen the decor was so pretty! We all had a great time. I can’t wait for the next event. 🙂
Looks like fun. Beautiful table decor!
Heather it was a lot of fun! All of the decorations were amazing.
Yay – so glad you went to this. I saw pics and it looked lovely. But then again, Jaclyn is the bomb dot com when it comes to hosting parties/events so I wouldn’t expect anything less than fab. Love this blogging community too – I had no idea there were SO many bloggers in the Houston area. Hope to meet you at one of these events soon.
