CupcakeMAG Retreat

You know when you just click with someone?  
 Well, how about four someones?  

It may sound crazy to someone who doesn't blog or tweet, but yes, I flew half way across the country to stay with four friends that I had never met in person.  Crazy? Not to us! In some way shape or form, I have chatted with at least one of these ladies daily for almost the last year.  Also, lucky for me, I live only a few minutes away from Kara (@JensenHaus & @launchHERLaw) so we see each other about once a week. 

 {Me @sweetharper, Jenny Ford @Jenny_LovesThis, Casi @CupcakeMAG, Kara @JensenHaus & @LaunchHERLaw, Angela @preppypoppy}

We are all connected though CupcakeMAG, as writers and collaborators...so Casi (@CupcakeMAG) was all about getting together for a CupcakeMAG Retreat!


Luckily, Angela (@preppypoppy) was sweet enough to host our crazy group, and we felt like home the minute we arrived.  She was such a gracious hostess!  The best part was that even though we were all coming together as a group for the first time, there was no awkward "getting to know you" phase.  We simply started right in chatting, laughing, and enjoying a few glasses of wine.  We spent much of the weekend indulging in local cuisine (I tried an oyster for the first time!) and of course...shopping!

It was so hard to say goodbye...there just wasn't enough time.  
But there never is, right?

What is your favorite thing to do for a weekend get away with the girls?  
Do you have any traditions?

Be sure to visit CupcakeMAG to see Casi's post about the retreat, you may learn a few things about me you didn't know before!

I'm so happy for you - how great to get to connect with all those ladies in real life. I can't wait until next year and I get to go to a few blogging conferences.
