Mommy's night OUT!

Friday night was the ultimate Mommy's night out. A few months ago, Jo-Lynne from Musings of a Housewife asked mom bloggers in the Philadelphia area to link up if they were interested in getting together in real life. I had been reading her blog for a while at that point, so I decided to sign on up. Great move on my part!


Somehow, Graco got wind of our bloggy meet-up and volunteered to sponsor our event. We met at Buca de Beppo, which if you have never been to one (I hadn't) is an Italian restaurant where the food is served family-style. We are talking a LOG of lasagna (among other things). Yum.


A bunch of bloggers had brought freebies along. We got samples from Mom Central, Orville Redenbacher, Smart Mom Solutions, Handyguys Podcast, newbaby.com, and Graco (of course). There were prizes to be won. I won two darling little bows for Sydney's almost nonexistent hair.


The biggest prizes were supplied by Graco. They were giving away two of these beauties:


Graco Nautilus, MSRP $149.99

And I won one of them!!!! Wahoo! I love prizes.



But best of all was meeting all of the other bloggers. Hopefully we will be able to get together again soon. Does anyone want to come with me this time?

It was great meeting you on Friday. I still can't get over the size of that lasagna...Just imagine what the pan must look like if that was just a piece??!! Congrats on winning the new car seat too, lucky bum!! Have a great week.

It was nice seeing you from far across the other side of the table! Sorry we didn't get a chance to chat except to 'duke it out' over the legwarmers/ribbons prize. ha ha.

Hope your wee one enjoys the car seat!

It was great to meet you on Friday- I know the Graco girls had a great time ourselves. You'll have to tell us how you like the car seat. Hopefully it will work out for you.

I think I'm still full from Friday's dinner and when I read your description of the lasagna it made me a little sick! It sure was good but overindulging is never a good thing!
