Getting to Know You

Nine years. This blog has lived and grown for nine years. It's given me a chance to talk to many of you... But I haven't had the chance to meet everyone in person.But the in-person part is super special.The last two weeks have given me a chance to meet even more Born Just Right readers... Some I did not realize made a connection to this site and others who have commented on this site for years but we just never met.Each and every one of these meetings have made me so proud of what this site is and the community we've built through the years. We're learning together. We're growing and leaning on each other when we need it. I know I need it. Hugging a mom who I have talked to but never met in person is just the final puzzle piece of our friendship.Last night, the kids and I met a family that connected to us when Jordan was a baby. We never met in person before. The kids were awesome together. The mom and I clicked because we've always clicked... except it was only online until last night.It felt like our kids have known each other forever. And I am riding a bit of a post-meetup high from our time together. I'm so honored to have the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people. Thank you all for giving me that gift.This weekend, we plan to meet up with even more families in Santa Cruz and another visit next Monday in Monterey. Please leave a comment if you think you might be able to join us. We'd love to meet you in person!
