Bringing Back the “Blogger Meetup”!

February 5, 2025

I just got back from a super fun meetup with Lisa, Jenny, and Caroline! I think the last time I went to something that was actually called a “blogger meetup” was 2010 (anyone remember the Healthy Living Summit? I went . . . TWICE, you guys). Guess what? It was a ton of fun then, and it STILL IS.

BRING BACK THE BLOGGER MEETUP.

I guess we did! Lisa and Caroline BOTH had business-related conferences at the same Hollywood beachfront hotel, and Jenny and I are local south Floridians so . . . we made it happen! It was a delightful lunch. We *know* each other but you know, there are things you can’t blog about, right? So much to share. It was tons of fun.

Wish Lisa & Caroline lived closer and Jenny and I are determined to hang out again (trail run or we can just go to my favorite REI in Boca, haha).

at Yot which was my suggestion as a good location + atmosphere – I think everyone was happy! Also, FL weather cooperated nicely.
our server was intrigued by the whole concept and delighted to take these pix! I’m like a foot shorter than Jenny but I kind of anticipated that!

WELL worth the time away from work/writing/etc!!!

Oh and I set a new PR. Sadly not in running, but:

    I’m so glad the stars aligned so we could all get together! We could have gabbed for hours!! It was like seeing an old friend you’re known for many years! Hopefully I end up in this region again or you will do the TC marathon someday (although you’d have to train through the summer/early fall). But I am sure I will see you again!!

    How delightful!!! I kind of think we should all plan our own blogger summit. Like BlogHer but just the comment section from our blogs invited.

      we can do it in Wisconsin or Minnesota in the summer or FL in the winter 🙂

        I am offended Michigan did not make this list. 😉

    Well I came here to tell you that I loved your podcast episode about closet organization (it was great, your guest was so much fun, god I love clothes) and WHAT A LOVELY SURPRISE! I mean, I knew Lisa and Birchy were in Florida at the same time, but how fun to see a photo of the four of you. What a treat this was! Ahhhh I love bloggers!

    What a fabulous gathering! You all look so relaxed and adorable – I love that you were all able to get together.

    Congrats on the new PR;-) I did it in 37 seconds but I got Wordle on the 3rd try so I knew it was going to be a good day. And it was! It was amazing how everything came together for the meetup. YOT was great.

    Bringing back the blogger meetup like it was always here…that’s how we roll.

    14 seconds is unreal. I think 16 is my best but have never even done that twice.

    • Reply Sarah Hart-Unger February 5, 2025 at 6:08 pm

      16 was my prior PR and I only did that once so I bet you will eventually beat it!

  • Reply jennystancampiano February 5, 2025 at 7:23 pm

    Yes that was FUN!!! You forgot to mention how our server accommodated our numerous dietary needs : ) YOT was a great call.
    We’ll meet up at REI…. or on the trails (when I can run fast enough to keep up with you!)

    • Reply Amanda February 7, 2025 at 3:28 pm

      I will meet both of you at the Boca REI!

      • Reply Sarah Hart-Unger February 7, 2025 at 8:02 pm

        yes!!!!!

    First, you know I am beside myself with jealousy.
    Second, this is amazing and I am so happy for you all! Four of my favourite bloggers together at once? How amazing is that.
    I will admit I had no concept for how tall Jenny was – just like I had no idea Nicole was tall. Somehow in my head they were both closer to my height, but they would both be towering over me.
    Also. Speaking of jealousy. Look at those short sleeves. It is like -20C here right now (-4F). Zero short sleeves in my life right now 🙁

      All 3 of these ladies were 5’7” and above and I’m 5’1”!! Bringing down the average big time. Come to FL!!!

      • Reply Elisabeth February 7, 2025 at 2:57 pm

        I’m just under 5’4, so I’d fall right in the middle <3

  • Reply Laura February 5, 2025 at 9:52 pm

    So jealous! I want to come to the next one!

    How fun! My husband was slightly horrified when my son and I traipsed off to meet some friends from the US “Are these uni friends? Who are these people?”… Erm, my birth month Reddit migrated to discord when our babies were born 7 years ago, and there are a dozen of us still active. When Elisabeth was in Portugal, I sent her my dad’s details as an emergency contact. Online friends can be real friends.

    • Reply Elisabeth February 7, 2025 at 2:58 pm

      It really did give me such great peace of mind knowing there was someone I “knew” in Portugal! Thanks again for that Coree <3

    How wonderful, I love this so much! So glad you all had a great time.

  • Reply Elissa February 7, 2025 at 11:27 am

    A time like that in the mini is my goal!

  • Reply San February 8, 2025 at 2:00 am

    OMG, so cool you all got to meet and hang out. I could use a blogger meetup right about now! Love the pictures!

  • Reply Stephany February 8, 2025 at 9:36 pm

    See, I should have stopped by to bring down the height average (I’m 5’2), haha. I’m glad you all were able to get together!

    I am SO READY for a big blogger get-together someday. I was just telling Birchie this – I’d love to go to the Midwest in the summer. Escape the FL heat!
