blog + date = blate (thank you megan from across the pond)
today my blate is with my blog bestie {av} from {long distance loving}. av and i have had some pretty epic email exchanges and skype dates but this is the first time i have met another blogger outside of my chicago blogger circle.
when i started this blog last year i never imagined all of the great people i would have encountered (in person and online). i feel so lucky to be surrounded by so many creative individuals and i appreciate all of your constant support and feedback. with that i would like to introduce to you a few favorites you might want to check out::
Byrnn at Chartreuse & A Twist
Joelle from Love is Home
Ashely from Ashely Nicole Catherine
Shari from Chicago Cuisine
Leigh from Very Loveleigh
Marissa from The boot
Drew from Coral Cafe
(and there's more on my link love list!)

The world of blogging is amazing. I have made some great friends this way. Was visiting a blog friend in Indy + we took a road trip to Chi. That's how I ended up moving here! Have fun!!
Adorable prints and love the word "blate". I'm a newbie and would love if you come visit!

i'm always on the hunt for new sites to stalk - thanks for this list!!
I'm new to the blog world but love the way everyone is so supportive of each other. I'm having trouble finding other Midwest bloggers, particularly in the KC area. Any thoughts?
Oh my gosh, you are pretty much amazing! I am so jealous that you and {av} got to go on a blate, but I'm glad you two had a good time.
My husband may or may not be coming to Chicago for a conference in March, and I may or may not be bugging him to let me come with. I'll keep you posted ;)
