Bloggers, wine, and swine

We had a second Bloggers Meetup today at Gouveia Vineyard – and it was fantastic.


Gouveia is located in Wallingford, CT, among farm land and gorgeous valleys.  It is one of my favorite locations because of the view.

In true blogger nature, we took some photos.



Followed by some wine.



Let me introduce you to the crew – there are a couple of new faces.

We had an amazing time tasting some wine, getting to know one another, and sharing some stories about swine.

CT Bloggers Meet up - 6/18

So these ladies,

are meeting up at Gouveia Vineyards on Saturday 6/18.  Wanna come?

Leave a comment with your email address!

6 ladies with something in common

These six beautiful ladies met this weekend:

Molly, Emily, Kim, Kari, Katie and me

because of this:


I should be honest with you…4 of us are kind of cheaters.

Kari, Emily, Molly, Katie and Kim

We knew each other.  In fact, we work together.  And therefore see one another every single day.  But we did get to meet 2 more beautiful bloggers to add to our little growing network.

Emily and Kari (two of the ladies I work with)

The dinner was delicious, the conversations were amazing.
To be even more honest…the wine helped.

I’m not going to lie to you, this was one of the most wonderful nights.  The ladies that joined us for dinner were incredible – and every bit what I imagined just from following along with their blogs.

Let me introduce you:
(from left front and going around the table…)
Kim from Book Worm Runs
Emily from Life on Food
Kari from Running Ricig
Lil’ ol’ me from….welll…here
Molly form MK & an MBA
Katie from Love is Everywhere

Molly and Katie

We talked about our blogs, how we got started, what keeps us going, and our inspirations and aspirations.
Oh and we ate.

Kari and soup

and we took lots of pictures.

Kim, Emily and Kari

Because that’s what we do best.

me, Molly, and Katie

Well, that and write. And for some of us, run.  And others, learn.  And yet others, love.  Okay, so taking pictures is just a small part of what we do best, but you get the drift.  We took a lot of them.
And then this beautiful lady whipped out the presents.

It’s just her nature.

Kim and Emily

Like it’s my nature to enjoy presents.

And then we schemed about the next Meet up.  If you’re interested in being kept in on the details, leave a comment or shoot one of us an e-mail.  We’d love to expand our awesome network.

More to come

Exciting things in the next couple of posts as Peanut turns 4 months and I tell you about the CT meet up!  In the meantime, here's a little teaser.

These 6 ladies enjoyed a wonderful evening of chatting, food, and wine.  Oh, and talking about our blogs!

On Saturday, May 21st, 2011 we will attempt to host the first CT Bloggers meet up.

We can share tips and tricks, get to know one another, eat some good food, and drink lots of wine.  We're not sure how many people will be interested so the details of the meet up will have to come later.  However, I will tell ya this much: it will be someplace in the New Haven area and it will be in the evening - say around 7pm.

To sign up, add you name and blog to the Link Up below by Sunday, May 15th.
