There were book signings…
“I would love to sign your book…as soon as I shovel this into my face.”
There were the roommates…
(Jen was also our fearless leader in I Just Want To Pee Alone. Clearly, that whole “pee alone” thing hasn’t worked out!)
*Reenactment, no carpets were actually peed upon during the shooting of this photograph!
There were shenanigans…
Kelley from Kelley’s Break Room and Jenny from Suburban Jungle know their way around the shenanigans. (Like our “Fire Marshall Bill” faces?)
There was fangirling…
I finally got to meet Julie of Rants From Mommyland. I may or may not have sniffed her hair. My bad.
I have been lucky to call Anna from My Life And Kids a friend for several years but meeting Anna from An Inch Of Gray launched my inner fangirl to new levels.
There was photobombing…
AND, THEN!!!! There was partying…
To celebrate all of our new found knowledge, we partied like it was 1999…literally. NickMom knocked it out of the ballpark with a “Retro Prom!”
There were fake tattoos…
There was much dancing…
I’m sorry this picture is blurry but it makes me so happy. These are some of the smartest, kindest and most talented women on the planet. Not to mention that they are damn fine dancers. Not one of us threw a hip out! Winning.
There were photo ops…
I almost broke a rib laughing when I saw this “awkward prom photo.” Julie from Rants From Mommyland, Kim from Let Me Start By Saying, Nicole from Tyop Aretist, and the photobomber is Jen from People I Want To Punch In The Throat.
There were dancing queens…
There was sisterhood…
The phrase that I kept hearing throughout the weekend was: “a rising tide lifts all boats.”
It didn’t matter who had 153K followers or who had 351 followers. It didn’t matter if you were a grief blogger, a humor blogger, a fashion blogger, or a DIY blogger. We all wanted to share our stories, our tricks of the trade, and our dance moves.
As Ellen and Erin from The Sisterhood Of The Sensible Moms said, “Lean In and Lean On.”
Meet the team that brought you BlogU…big hair, big dresses and big love.
We’ve all gone home to our own corners of the world. Back to seeing each other through our computer screens. But, we all have a little giddyup in our step. We “got schooled” and we are ready to use all that we learned from the friends living in our computers.
