My time in Omaha has been flying by. I have so many posts I want to write and so many things I want to share with you guys, but I’m trying not to put too much pressure on myself. I want to soak up this new city and the experiences I’m having with my husband and all the wonderful people I’m getting to meet. I’ve met so many amazing ladies:
I’ve talked about my hangouts with Hannah on here from Clean Eating Veggie Girl. We just got tickets to see a baseball game and a show. I’m so excited she’s a country music fan!
I got to meet up with Joanna and her adorable baby, Eleanor, yesterday! We went to Upstream for lunch and I had so much fun girl chatting and cooing over a cute baby while eating good food. Joanna blogs at Making Mine.
I don’t have a picture of me and Jess together but I spent today hanging out with Jess and her adorable baby Jada. I got to be her nap buddy for the afternoon. I met Jess, who blogs at Blonde Ponytail at Runners World last fall and she is the biggest sweetheart. We also hung out with Libby and her baby Quinn. Libby is a co-worker of Jess and the wife of Josh’s co-worker, Corey and is also super sweet. It’s a small world.
I’m excited that I have even more meetups with other awesome ladies scheduled this week and in the upcoming weeks. One is with another blogger, Maureen, who blogs at Girl Gone Beast.
All of these meetups made me realize that there are a lot of Omaha bloggers. Awesome, talented, super nice bloggers who want to get to know other bloggers. And it made me think we should start a group! So if you are in the Omaha area and you blog comment or email me at eringoneveggie @ gmail . com so I can add you to the list I’m compiling. Eventually I’ll be emailing everyone on the list and asking what sort of meetup everyone would like to do, where, and when.
Questions of the Day: Is there a blogging group in your area? Any advice for starting a blogger group?

Hi Erin,
Glad you are settling in Omaha and have found a great group of friends. Moving to a new city is always tough but you are making it seem so easy!
I’d love to find a blogging group back here in central PA. Any suggestions?

Welcome to Omaha! It is a great city with so many fun events going on all the time! I would love to be a part of a meetup group. Let me know if you need any help finding your way around Omaha!
Erin says
Thanks Julie! I’d love to hang out sometime. And yeah, I think our first meetup is going to be this Sunday for lunch downtown. Are you free?
Erin says
Sorry, I’m failing at commenting today. The meetup is the Sunday after this one, the 18th, downtown for lunch.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!
Kitty says
Hey Erin- Just saw your post on my blog about Omaha bloggers. Would love to join in on your idea of Omaha blogger get together! Just keep me posted!
Erin says
Awesome! Will do! Are you free this Sunday for lunch downtown? I think that’s going to be the first meetup!
Erin says
Sorry, not this upcoming Sunday, the Sunday after this one, the 18th. I can not do things in a rush or I get it wrong. haha
Megan says
Hey! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I like this idea a lot 🙂 Especially since I know only a few people in Omaha. I’ll officially be in town on August 31st, if things go as planned. So, keep me posted on any meet ups!
Erin says
Perfect, will do! Yeah I moved here without knowing a soul so having people reach out to me has been amazing.
Tiffany says
I would love to do the meetup!
Erin says
Yay! I’ll keep you in the loop. Are you free this upcoming Sunday for lunch downtown? I think that’s going to be the first meetup.
Erin says
Sorry, the Sunday after this one, the 18th, not this upcoming Sunday.
Jamie @ Sometimes Healthy Living Blog says
Love seeing blogger meet-ups in Omaha, where I’m originally from. I definitely need to get in on one next time I’m in town 🙂 When I lived in NYC, there were blogger meet ups ALL the time. As you can imagine, there are tons of bloggers living there. However, in the Hudson Valley, I’m still searching for those healthy living bloggers. Not as many here 🙂
Erin says
Definitely let me know next time you’re in Omaha! We’ll have to schedule a meetup!
Jenn says
There is a blogging group in my area, but I don’t know if they do meetups or anything. Looks like you’re really enjoying your time!
Erin says
I’m loving my time in Omaha. It’s already starting to feel like home! That would be awesome if your area did meetups!
Heather @ Better With Veggies says
There’s a loose group here in Colorado, but it’s not as organized as the one I had in Atlanta. Honestly, maybe I need to do the same and really get ours going. 🙂
Erin says
You should get yours going! Through word of mouth and some emails Omaha has a blogger meetup scheduled for two Sundays from now with 8 people coming so far!
Liz says
Hey there!!! Thanks for your comment! I’d love to be included. If you haven’t reached out to Jen at livlaughlove.com yet, she’d probably be down too.
Erin says
Hey girly! I just wanted to triple check that you were aware the venue changed from Amatos?
Jess @ Blonde Ponytail says
Jada’s more photogenic than me anyway! 😉 So enjoyed our afternoon and looking forward to next Sunday!
Erin says
Jada is very photogenic, but so are you!
Jen says
Hi, Erin! Thanks for including me in the meetup! I think it sounds like a blast! It sounds like a lot of bloggers I have “met” are going, so let me see what I can arrange! 🙂
Erin says
I think it’s going to be a blast!!
