Winter Wonders: Mommy Blind Dates

This summer I was lucky enough to go on two "mommy blind dates" with two incredible women and their children. My first date was with a woman who lives just about 10 minutes from me. We met through our blogs. She has two boys who are the same ages as Cael and Gabriel. We met up at a local tree farm and had a great time watching the kiddos play. I look forward to our friendship growing beyond cyberspace!

Tyler and Cael had fun poking Avery with sticks to make her scream - it is easy to tell why they hit it off right from the start!!!

My second "date" was with Suzanne who lives in California. We met on a baby chat board as our little girls were born in the same month and same year. Her little boy is also just two weeks younger than Gabriel. Suzanne lives in California, but the amazing thing is that one of her best friends lives in Iowa. So while she was visiting Kristin we also had the opportunity to meet up. We met at the Children's Museum in Iowa City and had a great day! Suzanne is one of the most funny, crafty, and talented people I know! She is a great momma who is also an amazing photographer. Like icing on the cake, I have had the privilege to get know Suzanne's friend, Kristin, who is another wonderful momma and photographer. I am so grateful for all my amazing friends - near and far!
