Connecticut Blogger Brunch

In a few weeks I will hit the nine year mark for this blog. In 2011 I met other Connecticut bloggers for the first time, which is when I met Meg in person! Since then the CT blogger community hasn't been particularly strong, so I was very excited when Nonee created the Connecticut Blogger Collective and put together an amazing brunch to bring 25 local bloggers together!

The brunch was held at Heirloom Market in Weathersfield, a charming location I'd never before visited, but I loved their private event setup and the food was all so delicious! Nonee did an amazing job with the tablescape with floral arrangements from Eddy Farm.

It was so nice to talk with other bloggers about the way blogging has been evolving over the years and how best to make an impact. We talked a lot about Instagram and even spent some time looking at each others feeds and giving constructive criticism.

It makes me so happy to see a Connecticut blogger community growing after all these years and I hope to have many more future opportunities to socialize, collaborate, and learn from these amazing women.

    What a fun event! I was lucky to be part of a very strong blogging community in Vancouver - but I will admit that being part of a strong community for nearly seven years, was, by the end, exhausting. The strength of the community meant there were multiple press events weekly at which we were all challenged to constantly be our best - and our best is, of course, a moving target. While I made many wonderful, lifelong friends, towards the end I felt pressure to constantly be involved, like I couldn't ever turn anything down, and I just couldn't do it anymore. For now, it's a relief to be living in a place where there isn't such an established community and I can work at my own pace. But I know I've also been really lucky and I do have moments of missing the opportunity to regularly talk with people who really know what blogging life is really like.

    That sounds like so much fun, and what a beautiful setting for brunch! The food looks delicious too. I'm glad that a blogging community is building in your area. I used to be a lot better about being involved in the blog community here, that's something I'd like to be better at!
