I hosted a group of friends (who also happen to be bloggers) for brunch yesterday
to chat, network, brainstorm and just have an excuse to drink champagne!
I love these ladies as they’re all incredibly thoughtful, gracious and we spent
nearly the entire time laughing as we shared stories.
We have hardwood on our first floor so I felt bad about asking the girls
to take off their pretty heels. I hope it was made sweeter by the
ballet flat slippers I put out for each of them.
I started cooking (just baking) on Saturday.
Here was the menu:
Mini frittatas
Sweet Potato Hash
Cayenne & Brown Sugared Bacon
Red Pepper, Pineapple & Chicken Apple Sausage Skewers
Bacon, Cheddar & Onion Scones
Cinnamon Buns
Tropical Fruit Salad
The Mimosa Bar of course!
I also left each lady a small notebook & pen at their place setting so they could
jot down ideas and other things they wished to remember during our discussions.
These were actually useful as we shared some of our favorite blogs that others were
not familiar with, beauty tips and a great deal more.
It even inspired a few of my friends that attended who currently aren’t bloggers
to potentially start their own (love it when this happens!)
More recaps here: Abby, Jodi and check out Kate and Agnes’s blogs too!
Thank you again ladies – it was wonderful spending time together.
