Welcome Post by @room704
A year ago today, we were heading to Nashville for BlissDom aught nine. We had no idea that by the end of the weekend the entire conference would know our room number.
In one of the sessions, Amy Clark (aka Room 703, aka one of the original Room 704 because being in the same suite totally counts) (That goes for Michelle Lamar as well.) talked about writing ‘classic content’ so you could republish it if necessary and about posting on a schedule so your readers would know when they could expect to find new content.
From this, an idea formed. An idea of three somewhat slacking bloggers to band together to write a blog.
Over the last year we’ve gone from here:
The Infamous Room 704
To a spur of the moment trip to Seattle in March:
Classiest Beeshes You Know
In April we trusted each other enough to share our cry eyes for Maddie:
We can cry as hard as we can laugh.
We threw a slightly larger party in July:
Room 704 party in Chicago
We shared what we could about Money and Prettifying Blog Space at TAMC in September:

“We” had a great time in Vegas in December:
What, it's totes not photoshopped.
We spent January with an idea that goes back to one that Amy shared a year ago. Classic Content. Post on a schedule. So for January, we used our classic content. One last month.
We gathered our staff writers and shared our plan.
We’re going to post once a month. You’ll know where to find us and if you want to know exactly when to find us there is the handy dandy newsletter sign up on our homepage.
Take off your shoes … put on your sexy shoes … paint your nails … get a smoothie … get some chocolate … whatever makes you feel great … come Celebrate our First Birthday with us.
