YHL Book Signing

Wednesday, November 28th - Georgetown (Flor)


On a Wednesday evening, my mom, sister and I were able to get out for a girls night with books, cupcakes and very yummy pizza!  We headed to the Flor store in Georgetown for a book signing that was fun for all three of us.  My sister is a crafty blogger and mom and I are book bloggers, so this one book could be enjoyed by all three of us.  

Here we are with John and Sherry from Young House Love, they were personable and just like they are on the blog, it was so fun to chat with them for the quick moment we had!  We of course gushed that we were all bloggers and all fans!  

After the two hour wait in the cold, we decided that we should look for something to eat locally, but first across the street we had to pick up some Georgetown Cupcakes!

Then we wandered M street for dinner and ended up at a great little pizza place that is on my list as one to visit again!  At Pizza Paradisio we started with a twist on bruschetta with bread, goat cheese and prosciutto and we followed it with their 4 cheese pizza which was just sinful.  Mom took the rest home, she wouldn't part with it without a fight!

It was a fun evening that we decided must be repeated!

Second Trip to The Book Thing

So, I went to The Book Thing a few weekends ago. I got some great books to read and some to do some crafty things with! All Free! If you are near Baltimore, you definitely should swing by on Saturdays or Sundays.

Jennifer Weiner Book Signing

I had the awesome opportunity to go to a local Borders and attend a book signing by Jennifer Weiner. If anyone is near her next stops - go and quick!! She was hilarious, entertaining, whitty, and friendly.

She was promoting her new book - Fly Away Home. I took the mom with me and we both bought our books, grabbed a quick bite to eat and then planted ourselves in prime seats. She started off with some hilarious stories, fo

llowed by reading an excerpt from the book and then of course the questions.

We had tickets, so we got our books signed and posed for a picture with her. She really took the time to chat with each and every person.

I could go on and on - all good things. For my first author signing, it was beyond what I thought it could be. I have already started searching for another one for the mom and I.
