You Know You Are On a Blate When...

*Every event involves wine.





*Conversations that start with blog handles are totally normal.

*The gifts are perfect and thoughtful.

*Carbs and cheese are encouraged.



*You call your mom and tell her to get excited about her blate with Sue because blog friends are really pretty and awesome in real life too.
 *DSRL cameras are always out and on.

 *Instagraming is popular too (see a lot @laurenjeanallece)
 *You steal pictures from Lauren's camera and get to see a neat perspective of my family (and be in the pictures!)




*Four days fly by and lifelong friendships are confirmed.
Thanks for a wonderful weekend Lauren and Jenn!

Looks like you had a great time. I am soooooo looking forward to meeting your Mum, I feel like I know her already but its not the same as meeting in person. Roll on May

Fun! (The whole time I'm looking at the pictures I'm checking out what you're wearing... lol).

Was in Venice and saw the loveliest leather so cheap! Talk about style. You would be in fashion heaven, Kate.

You will have to come on a blog journey to Europe! (Tell that to the hubby). xo

It looks like you all had a great visit. Aren't the friendships that blogging in the virtual world provides in the real world just amazing?!?

Shannon said...

How perfect!! You make me wanna do a blate so badly. Why aren't there more bloggers in Western New York!?

Jen said...

Such amazing pictures!!!! It's always nice to connect with bloggers and know that you will have a lifelong friendship. :)

Okay, it took me a while to understand what "blating" was, haha. So much fun, so happy for you all as good friends are rare and such a treasure.

Sarah said...

Wish I knew bloggers in this area to have a blate with! And great pictures. :)

Kristin said...

I love it! So sweet. (And that anchor scarf?? Where's it from? Adorable!)

It's official. I think you need to make a coffee table book with all your pictures. Please include these ones as well because I just love them.Beautiful smiles and I love the one of you and Kevin through the window.

Heather said...

Looks like lots of fun, as always! Thanks for your thoughtful comment on my blog post today, too. Hearing others' perspectives and getting feedback from moms like you means a lot.

SO FUN! I'm jealous :-)

Brhea said...

This looks so awesome! I'm jealous I want someone to blate.

Heaven help me on this diet please - as I look at your cheese and carbs I almost gnawed on my arm ;)

Oh my goodness what a wonderful time, how awesome is that, that yall were able to get together and have such a fabulous time!!!!!

Jenn said...

I love all of these pictures (but especially the creeper shot that Lauren got of you and Kev through the window- Go Lauren!). Thank you so much for hosting such an awesome blate. The wine/cheese/carbs/lack of diapers/toothpick tricks/kiddie songs were amazing.

Mad Max and Family said...

How fun ... I don't think I "know" too many bloggers (yet?) to have a blate - at least none that are local.

I'm glad y'all had a blast!
