Second Generation Blogging Friends
Julia, Madison and McKenna
The only thing better than getting together with MY blogging friends, is watching my girls play with THEIR blogging friends.
Julia and McKenna know each other through their mommies’ blogs. Michelle, McKenna’s Mom, is one of our loyal and longtime readers here at 5 Minutes for Mom and happens to live nearby.
We’ve been able to have the girls get together a few times now and today was Julia’s first time having McKenna over to play at our house. It was a surprise visit and Julia was thrilled.
Julia’s friend Madison also came over to play and the three had a wonderful time playing dress-up and roaring around our little home.
I just love seeing friendships form that never would have happened if it weren’t for our crazy blogging lifestyle.
So Tell Me…
Have you gotten your kids together with any of your blogging friends’ kids?

We had such a wonderful time tonight !!! Thanks for inviting us over.McKenna slept in the car home but went to bed easily so that is good!!!
We have met a few other blog friends it’s just fantastic to be able to meet in real life!!!
I love chatting with you on the phone Susan…
Thank you for coming over! Yes, it is great chatting on the phone with you and so fun to hang out in real life.
Haven’t gotten Princess Zaria together with any kids of bloggers yet but she blogs(infrequently) so she hangs out with me and my blogger friends:)
That is so fun that she blogs too.
I haven’t done that but I love when my girlfriend’s kids and mine get together. We are the six-pack and they are the bottle caps:-)
I love that Susie !! The Bottle caps cute
Michelle
That’s hilarious…
Yes, it’s great when we moms get to hang out and the kids can play together. Everyone’s happy.
We haven’t met up with any bloggy friends yet but I’ve met several friends that I’ve met online!
That’s great that you’ve met up with lots of online friends. I always find that when I do meet my online friends in real life, it feels like I see them everyday and it’s not really like meeting them for the first time at all.
In fact, I have. McKenna was one of the first kids that my own daughter Hannah met up with, so that’s fun. We’ve met lots of other moms and kids, too. And never once have we had anything other than a great time together.
That’s so fun Amber. I can’t wait for us to get together too. Awesome that you live so close… let’s set something up soon.
I have! We met up with Mrs. Einstein and her 3 children last fall! So fun!
Oh wonderful… and were your children similar ages?
Well, my son is a bit older than her middle girl, but yes, roughly!
I HAVE had the chance to get my kids together with blogging friends’ kids, and I loved watching them connect!
Awesome… it’s so fun isn’t it?
Let’s see, Samantha and Jackson had a blast together at Hallmark. Both my girls loved playing with Tanya from MommyGoggles kids, and my girls adore Caryn from Rockin Mama’s little boy Josh.
I have however met a lot of my bloggy friends in person and they are awesome! I can’t wait to see them all again n NYC!
I heard about how much Jackson and Samantha got along at Hallmark. Too fun!
So great that your kids get lots of bloggy friend face-time.
My kids have only played with Renee’s son Micah at a blogging event. I’m going to have to find more local bloggers some time for a blogger playdate. Sounds like fun!
Yes, I too have to get out more with local bloggers. Sometimes it’s hard to even discover who is in your area.
YES! We LOVE getting our kids together with our blogging friends…We’ve made soo many great friends via blogging. We even do childcare swaps now! I cannot wait to see where things take OUR kids and their friendships that have all started because of our blogs!
Childcare swaps… that’s fabulous!
Yes, it’s fun to see where it all goes…
