Wow!! What an incredibly busy weekend. I thought summer vacation meant that teachers slowed down and took it easy…I’m thinking ‘not so much.’ But one of the ‘busy’ parts of the weekend was just so much fun, I had to share.
Christina, from over at Mrs. Bainbridge’s Class along with Patty from 2nd In Line organized a little Michigan Teacher Blogger Meet-Up in Grand Rapids. It was so much fun.
I grabbed Julie from Make, Take and Teach (she’s my hometown blogging buddy) and went down hook up with all these fabulous teachers.
It was a ton of fun.
We had some good laughs
ate some good food
talked a little shop and took a lot of pictures.
Everyone one was just as sweet as they are in their blogs, and I enjoyed meeting them so much.
I have to share with all you Freebielicious followers though that meeting my fellow Freebielicous Friend, Maria (Kinder Craze), was a highlight of the afternoon.
When you talk to someone several times a week on the ‘net’ but have never met them, it’s great to finally be able to meet in ‘real life.’
She was our official photographer…yes all the good pictures here are hers…the bad ones are mine.
Anyway, it was my very first blogger meet up but I can say, it won’t be my last. If you liked to check out some of my new friends, I listed their blogs below. Please go give them a look see.
Also…I have a secret….
please make sure you are one of my Facebook followers… Something BIG is coming and you’re not gonna want to miss it. Just trust me…make sure you’re following me. I wouldn’t steer you wrong.

I’m so happy to read this. This is the type of details that needs to be given and not the accidental misinformation that’s at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this great post.

I feel so out of the loop! I left for Houston the very next morning at 5:00 AM and just got back today. . . I’ve been following FB and some blogs but it’s hard to do when you’re on VACA!
I’m so glad that you could make it to our Michigan Meet Up, and it was fun to meet you too. I have a sneaky feeling this group will do some other gatherings at least once a year if not more!

A blogger meet up would be so much fun.
My only problem is that I live on the other side of the world. I have told my hubby that one day I would love to go to the US and meet some of the talented bloggers I have been following.
It is good to have dreams.
I love your ideas, Marsha.
For now, I am learning so much from you and the many talented teachers who share their ideas.

My son’s teachers only works 9-3 so some parents may not have the opportunity to get to know them. Make the effort to talk to them or call them to speak about your child’s progress.

sometimes we forget how hard this can all be for a small child. Thanks for this insightful post.
