Several months ago, I first heard about the Relevant Conference. Relevant was born as three wonderful women (bloggers) talked about living intentionally. After reading Relevant’s mission statement, I was hooked.
The Relevant Conference exists to offer a place of face to face interaction with Christian women bloggers who want to be relevant in the larger blog and social media world. Our goal is to go beyond the surface into intentional blogging and real life living. We support women turning their hearts toward home and using their blogs to bless their families while also engaging the world for the glory of God. Relevant is a one-of-a-kind conference that seeks to engage women by teaching blogging techniques and social media skill while also urging and encouraging women to live fully integrated lives with their faith and family.
I’m thrilled to be attending Relevant in October! And I absolutely can’t wait to meet many online friends in real life! 
My sister, Kelly, opened Kelly Joy Boutique in April. Kelly Joy Boutique is your one-stop-shop for all kinds of handmade flair for girls of all ages. Kelly makes Daisy Hair Clips, Buttercup Hair Clips, Ruffle Ribbon Hair Clips, and Flower Brooches.
Besides the items that can be found in her shop, Kelly also makes custom items. She has made Kanzashi flower hairclips for bridal attendants as well as up to 30 flower brooches for one customer.
Collegiate Hairclips and/or Brooches are in the works, so if you have a favorite team, be sure to tell Kelly over on her Facebook page!
Kelly Joy Boutique is thrilled to be a sponsor of the Relevant Conference. Every Relevant attendee will be receiving a product from Kelly Joy Boutique! Squee! Since Kelly, who is expecting, won’t be attending Relevant in October, she asked me to give away her ticket on my blog! How fun!

Hi –
This could be an answer to my prayers…. I am on my way to being a stay-at-home mom who will also be home schooling (yikes!). But I so desperately yearn to do something more to help support my family (proverbs 31 woman is my desire!). I just don’t know where or how to start. This conference could give me the opportunities of a life-time to meet with other women who could mentor and help me along the way. I have the desire and energy to do start something up – I just don’t know where to start. Thank you.

Oh and I love the Pink and White Kanzashi Flower pin! Almost forgot that.

I adore the ruffle bows!! I need to see if she can make some Ohio State flowers for my friend who’s expecting a little girl!
Love the lime teal and purple – great colors together!
I was torn when choosing my favorite because I love the bows that would match some of the scrapbook paper that I have, but my favorite in the end was the zebra print and hot pink bow!

I have been wanting to go to this conference since I first heard about it! I have recently become a work from home mom, and through my blog I have been able to share my daughter’s life and my grief. I would love for money to come in through the blog to help support the non-profit that we are beginning which is called Joy in the Morning (Psalms 30:5) which will offer support to families who have lost a child.

Relevant has been a niggling in my head since I spoke to you at Blissdom. It sounded like the kind of conference that would encourage me in my goals as a blogger and as a mother. I looked into it when I got home, and sure enough! The mission statement spoke to my heart. I find myself perusing the site and reading about the attendees and checking out their blogs, thinking of how much fun it would be to meet face to face with some of these ladies. To encourage and be encouraged, not just over the time of the conference, but beyond that.

I need to get my blogging mojo back and I want to be purposeful about what I write, about how I invest my time in my blog. I want to be thought provoked and soulfully encouraged.When I lived in Hawaii I blogged everyday. Life was laid back and easier. My kids wore less clothes, I did less laundry, and we played more. I blogged more about our island lives. Then we moved to San Diego. I was pregnant, and we bought a foreclosed house where the previous owners even stripped even the toilet seats. I am not kidding. We had so much work to do to finish. Pregnancy and fixing a house and chasing after two small boys was enough to make me pass out and sleep before I could blog each night. Then I had a newborn son. And five months later when I was starting to feel rested we found out we were moving. And that is a whole other story. Now we are here on the east coast. I finally am SUPER confident about what I want to blog about…raising three awesome little men to be awesome little husbands, to be little lights, to be leaders, protectors, to be full of integrity. My task is awesome, and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to go to Relevant to be inspired. I have never been to a blogging conference before. PLUS, in a home with three little boys, and one amazing husband, I need my girl time, even if I am in the most awesome Princess Protection Program ever. Well, you said to tell why we wanted to go to the Relevant conference and to make it good. It is all juicy, and it is all true. (((HUGS)))

I’d love to go to the Relevant Conference because I began my blog with a vision of being able to serve the Lord by encouraging and helping other moms while staying home and serving my family. Relevant’s vision is our family’s vision.
Since I just had our 10th baby, I’ve been reevaluating my priorities and wondering about the role that Raising Olives should continue to play in our family’s life.
Thanks for this giveaway!

Finally, why I want to attend Relevant10… The last month has been one of the most difficult of my life. After trying to conceive for almost 2 years, my husband and I were finally pregnant. But earlier this month we miscarried at almost 12 weeks. Three days later we left our jobs and moved to another state. We still don’t have a place of our own to live and are living with my mom and sister until we do.
The outpouring of love and support and prayers I received from my online friends following this craziness has been humbling and so encouraging. To have the opportunity to hug them in real life would just be amazing. To be surrounded by my ‘friends in the computer’, learn how to be a better blogger, and refine the ways I can bless my family through my blog, all enveloped in Christ… awesome.
I want to attend Relevant10 to learn all these things and more, and to be able to really hug the ladies who have offered such love to me through my computer screen.

Hard to pick a favorite – there’s so many cute ones and, well, I have only have boys
But I picke the Lime Green Print Double Layer Buttercup or the sporty flowers!
Why do I want to go to Relevant?
1- its more “relevant” to me as a born-again Christian blogger than the secular conferences (I think) though I’ve never been to a blog conf. yet.
2- I feel like I “know” more women connected to this event.
3- Its closer to home (Ohio).
4- I need to learn more about growing my blog and networking with likeminded women out in the blogosphere.

I would love to go to Relevant for a few reasons:
1) I love what it’s about. It sounds like blog conference and Christian women’s conference all rolled into one…and I’ve never been to either type of conference.
2) So many of my favorite bloggers are going and I would love the opportunity to meet them IRL
3) It sounds like it’s going to be the most meaningful blog conference to date.

What an exciting giveaway! I would love to get the pink buttercup hair clip for my daughter, who is growing her hair out and LOVES pink.
Joy´s last [type] ..I Am That Woman
I would absolutely LOVE to go to Relevant to meet women who love God and love their families, who write to grow and encourage and not to get famous or powerful (hah!) or wealthy. To hear Ann Voskamp in person, a woman whose wisdom and grace in the face of pain and trial inspires me to keep pushing through my own pain and loss. To deepen friendships made online. To further develop my writing so that I can in some small way encourage others who yet may walk the road of loss that I’m on now.
Thank you to KellyJoy for sponsoring this giveaway!

My favorite is the Pink Print Shabby Chic pin followed closely by the lime green print double layer buttercup hairclip.
I love blogging, but I have yet to get out into the blogging world and meet some other bloggers. I would love to go to Relevent to meet other like-minded women and to learn effective ways to make blogging less about me and more about Him.

…I am new to blogging and think this would really give me a jumpstart.
…I am striving to create a platform for older women to mentor younger women, and that encapsulated Relevant’s missions/goals.
…I think it would be an absolute BLAST!!!
