The last time I met up with this fabulous group of women was exactly a year ago. Since another blogger meetup was long overdue, we decided to hit the road to the city of brotherly sisterly love: Philadelphia! Things have changed a lot since we last saw each other: Keeley is now Dr. Keeley Powell and expecting her first child. Latoya is mommy to beautiful baby girl Mariah and pregnant with her second daughter. Nadette has opened up Browned Butter Sweets (a brownie shop!) on Etsy and is planning her move to Spain. Chavonne is loving her new job teaching high schoolers and spending time with her family. As for me…well you already knows what’s up with me (if not, then check out my last post)! But one thing’s for sure: when we get together, good times and delicious foods are plenty!
Please join us “Today” – wherever you are in the world – and link up with Communal Global!
Life with Kaishon - I want to be a part of your cool blogger circle : ) I love their smiles! That sandwich looks divine.
Hannah - That’s so cool that you go to a blogger meet-up. I really want to do something like that around my part of the world.
And I always find it disconcerting that you northern states dwellers can just hop on a train and head to a completely different state within a matter of a few hours. Texans? 1. We have no trains so we must rely on cars. 2. Lousiana is 2.5 hours away but there’s nothing interesting until you get to NOLA, 6 hours away. 3. If you go the other direction (west) you’ll be driving in Texas for days.
I think they transportation up north is so neat and very enviable. Part of the reason I would love to MOVE up there! :)
Maddy {Mad Hearts Photography} - I never thought of it, but I suppose you’re right! I’m a few hours drive from a few major cities: Philadelphia (2 Hours), NYC (15 mins), Washington DC (3 Hours), Boston (4 Hours). Surprisingly, I don’t take advantage of that too often. Even going to NYC is more of a hassle these days with the outrageous toll prices.
Amy - What fun! I would love to meet some of my blog friends–you, included! Someday . . .
Keeley @ My Life on a Plate - I had such a fantastic time this weekend with you all! To Hannah from TX, it’s great living in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast where I’m within 5 hours of Boston, NYC, Philly, Baltimore and DC, but the traffic is wild and the cost of living can be a pain. I’ve been to TX several times and I admire your warmer weather and your open space. I guess you can’t have it all :)
Sarah - Dodeline Design - How fun is that! It is so cool the way you can make friends through a blog. Looks like an amazing group of women!
Cafe Fashionista - It is amazing to see how quickly people’s entire lives change – moves, new careers…this amazing group of ladies is definitely destined for great things! :)
chavonne - Maddy these pictures are great! Its crazy how we shoot the same things yet mine are… womp, womp. You really are talented. Never doubt that.
