Last week I had my first Blogging Buddy get together.
Upstate New York isn’t exactly swarming with bloggers, but there are a few of us*…
Kaley from ChaChing on a Shoestring is one terrific lady.
She planned a great day at the park. The kids could play, the moms could chat. Picnic baskets would over-flow with home made goodness.
Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t as accomodating. We’ve had the coldest/wettest June on record, and July didn’t want to be out done.
Our back up plan was a McDonalds with a PlayPlace. 
Not as charming, but the kids were happy.
Jenn from Frugal Upstate came over and let us ‘newbies’ ply her with questions.
It was the first, in-person discussion I’ve had with other women who knew exactly what I was trying to do.
I mean, how often can you ask the question “is it weird that I have a picture of my bathroom on the internet?” and have two women assure you it’s not.
That’s a rare bunch.
____________________________________________________________________*** Okay, to all the male readers out there… I realize that I have to be much more conscientious about how I hold the baby while photos are being taken. Despite what this looks like, he was not screaming in pain because of my hand placement. He was just tired.
And I can prove that to you because this is what he looked like ten minutes later….
*Let me know if you’re a blogger in Upstate NY — we would be glad to have you join us for the next gathering!

Aww, it was so much fun meeting & talking with you (although I felt like I talked too much). Look at how cute your little sweetpea is all racked out in his carseat
Pshaw Jenn! hard to say you were talking too much when we kept pestering you with questions!
It was a fun lunch – I'll look forward to the next time! Maybe in C'town?!
Sounds good to me! Thanks, ladies! (and Sharon, I laughed out loud at your comment to the men!)
