Sitting on the Porch Sipping Coffee

Sitting on the Porch  Sipping Coffee

The Ultimate Blog  Challenge is winding down, only 7 more days left.  Today’s challenge sounded very interesting. It was suggested to write about sitting on the porch sipping coffee with one of my blog readers and tell what would we chat about.

So first I have to change the setting a bit since I don’t drink coffee, but I do love a cup of hot chocolate topped with lots of whipped cream!

I have met so many wonderful new friends since I’ve been blogging the past few years but the one that I would love to sit on the porch and chat with is Jennifer, owner of Life of a Busy Mommy blog.  I haven’t known Jennifer too long, but as soon as I read her blog for the first time, something told me she had spunk and drive, just like I do. I read her “about the author” and that confirmed my thoughts.

Now days it seems every Mommy has a very busy life. Here you will find my thoughts, tips and ideas that make my life a little less hectic.  And I will share with you some of my crazy days. Who knows, maybe they will give you inspiration.

 “I am a busy mom of 8, and grandmother of 6. I enjoy giving joy to others and sharing my knowledge with others.”  

I saw so much similarities when I read her bio. I too am a busy mom of 2 and grandmother of 7 plus great-grandmother of 4 and I too enjoy giving joy to others and sharing what knowledge I have with others.

Have you ever “met” someone on a social site and feel like you know them just after a few chats?  Sometimes people just “click” and when I first met Jennifer, this is how I felt. She has such great blog topics but the one that I really look forward to is her Weekly Freebie Roundup where she shares some great freebies. When some people find freebies, they keep them to themselves without sharing, but not Jennifer, she is excited to share and help others.

So while Jennifer and I would be sitting on our porch, sipping our hot chocolate or coffee, I feel like we would have a lot to talk about, of course with a lot of bragging in between.  For those who aren’t grandmothers, bragging is a right for all grandmothers.

We have been sipping our cocoa for about an hour, talking about how we both like to help others and share great offers with them, plus showing pictures to each other of our children and grandchildren. It seems like our lives are like a ferris-wheel, constantly going round and round, but wouldn’t have it any other way.

We realize time has gotten away from us, just having a great time chatting with each other but now it’s time to get back to our busy lives and blogging.
Jennifer and I said our good-byes and I waved as she started walking done the path back to her home.  What an enjoyable morning I had, spending time with my friend that has the same drive as I do.

It’s been said that the busier people are, the more they share and help others, I see this in Jennifer and myself.

      Wouldn’t it be cool if we could have a FB Blogger get together? LOL I’ve met a few and it was so neat, we seemed like old friends! Thanks for stopping by Sandy.

  3. Jennifer Bay says:

    Awe, thanks so much, I feel honored you picked me 🙂 And you are so right, I think we would be fast friends and before we knew it, the time would have flown by, if we got to meet in person! I think that is why I so look forward to your posts as well, we are quite a lot alike 🙂 Oh and I LOVE HOT CHOCOLATE TOO!!!

    • Martha says:

  4. Judith Richey says:

    Sounds like a beautiful friendship in the making!

    • Martha says:

      Yes, Judith, it is! It’s amazing how people can “meet” each other on social sites and after becoming friends, it seems like we’ve known each other forever! I was lucky to actually meet one of my FB friends a few years ago when she was about 100 miles south of us. We met for lunch and this past year they stopped again on their way back home to Florida. We are like sisters! Thanks for visiting Judith!

  5. The ability to think like that is always a joy to behold
