On Tuesday, the Ohio Blogging Association had their CLE Blogger Holiday Party and Cookie Swap...
...and Max was more than ready for a night on the town (just ask his Mom)!
Equipped with a bottle, extra clothes, a diaper bag, and a baby carrier, the two of us headed out to the Battery Park Wine Bar...
...and got to catch up with some blogger friends like Nidhi from Nidhizzle. (Photo: Jen fromWhy CLE?).
Other bloggers present who I got to chat with included...
- Alicia from Poise in Parma
- Amanda from Clue into Cleveland
- Brian from Run Swanson
- Crystal from Eat Drink Cleveland
- Julie from Am I There Yet
- Julie from ROJ Running
- Kimberly from SMITTEN…in cleveland
- Lane from Lane Baldwin Photography
- Sarah from Cooker Girl
- Stuart from sosAssociates
Although Max and I decided not to take part in the actual cookie exchange...
...I couldn't pass on the happy hour menu...
...with some nice smoked chicken sliders (not so easy to eat with a baby at your chest)...
...and some nice coconut shrimp (which were easier to eat).
In fact, Max got hungry around the same time my food arrived (a constant phenomenon that only tells me he can't wait for solid food), so I took bites in-between bottle sucklings...
...as bloggers circled the cookie table...
...and grabbed many of the delightful-looking creations.
Just look at that yummy frosting (made by Julie)!
Meanwhile, as the bloggers grabbed and Max and I ate, Alicia of Poise in Parma (and Ohio Blogging Association leader) was sweet enough to grab a container...
...and make us a care package to take home.
Thanks, Alicia!
It was so nice to meet Max! So happy to have you both join us for the cookie swap. Here's to that being the first of many more meetings he attends!
