Sunday, Blogger Sunday

I’m gearing up for my first-ever coordinated blogger event at Frankie’s on the Park this Sunday (also a sponsor of this blog) and I’m nervous not only as an event planner (the kind folks at Frankie’s are doing all the logistics), but because while I love my blog life, it rarely intersects with my IRL life. But I do believe, (and why I’m going through the effort of coordinating this event) that I can bring a unique perspective of my blog life to local IRL companies and that my local IRL life can help bloggers. We all always have a lot to learn from each other and I’m excited about growing these opportunities.

I’m also very excited to meet new bloggers like West of the Loop, Little Tech Girl and Mashuga Mom and see my old IRL and blog friends Alma, Steph, Carrie, Meredith, and Jessica. I’m excited to meet their kids, call them by their IRL names (not their website monikers), meet their friends and most of all HAVE FUN. Because as I try to mix business with pleasure, I stiill believe that’s the most important thing we can do in this crazy new social media world. That’s where it all started for me and I’d hate to lose that along the way.
