Last night, Allison @ OMyFamily and I met up for cupcakes, coffee and chatting. Ohh, I love those three words :] We’ve been getting together about every 2 weeks lately, and can I just say, Yeow?! It’s been so fun!!!

Allison is my new friend, she is super fab and I am sew enjoying our friendship.

You know what else I’m enjoying? Daydreaming of May 17. Know what else? Daydreaming of having time to exercise {bites fingernails}. Did I really just type that? Oh, OK…

Well anyways…

So I was thinking: I know a handful of gals in the Minneapolis area that I’d love to get together with and have coffee. Are you in the Minneapolis area? Want to have a ‘lil get-together?

Leave a comment if you do {I’d LOVE to plan something}, OR leave a comment sharing a story about a new friendship you have :]

Have a great day!
xoxo.

    Your story reminds me a lot of my hubby and me (except the whole sewing genius thing). I’m from Ohio and we left our family and moved out to the Sioux Falls area….just the two of us. Even though it’s hard, it’s wonderful that your husband is your best friend. We recently moved back to Pennsylvania where I have yet to make any good friendships…happy that you are meeting new people in the Minneapolis area!

    I WISH I was in the Minneapolis area so I could get together with you! Sadly, I am not. But I do have a standing first-Friday-of-the-month lunch date with my classmates from a leadership class I participated in a couple of years ago. And another first-Wednesday-of-the-month breakfast date with some businessy colleagues. The best one, though, is my monthly get together with my sister and my cousins. We’re definitely schedule people!

    I am no super-blogger like many of these ladies…but I do live in Saint Paul and would love to meet some new people! I hope you are enjoying the cities. I move here in 2006 from NC, and love it here. Where did you get cupcakes? Those look great. Have you been to Sweets on Marshall? Amazing stuff!!

    Can I just say that I love that you each got 2 cupcakes. I personally think one just isn’t enough, but most aren’t brave enough to go for it! They look so yummy!

        Uhm, we brought the other ones home to our husbands. Yep. That’s what we each did with our second cupcakes. That’s the story I’m sticking to.

    hi Gussy!

    I’m a St. Paul mama who is finishing out her last few days as a teacher and setting out on a business venture refurbishing furniture. (Think “Life in the Fun Lane”, do you know that blog?) I’d love to meet up with you guys and get any tips/ideas/good juju from any other adventurous TC girls. Count me in!

    PS I’ll link to my blog about the kids, but my business site is almost ready to launch. *argh* biting fingernails over here!!

    In order to feed creativity, one requires cupcakes. It’s the law.

    Put me down for two, and I’ll be there in spirit. (The second cupcake will, of course, be for my husband…) ;0)

    Have fun all of you!

    Hi! I’m so surprised to see the number of fun and talented ladies who share the same excitement about a lot of the same things; and all in the Minneapolis area. Wow!!
    I’d love to connect too!
    Please let me know when, and where. What a great opportunity to grow and share!

    Hi excellent blog! Does rninnug a blog similar to this require a large amount of work? I have very little expertise in coding however I was hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyways, if you have any recommendations or techniques for new blog owners please share. I know this is off subject but I simply needed to ask. Kudos!
