My First Meet & Greet Weekend Party

Hello Everyone!

I have not done any party hosting in the blogging community so this would officially be my first ever meet & greet party. 🙂  Being said that, I really hope that you guys can join me so we could get to know each other and your blogs more.

Please come take a seat and let’s talk about you and your interesting blog. I hope that you’ll enjoy your stay 🙂

Glad to know you,
Nina 🙂

    1. Hi Masoom! Nice of you to drop by and keep me company. ☺ I’m doing good…I hope you are too! I went to visit your blog and I can see you’re passionate about writing stories…cool! 😊

    1. Hello Sasha! Glad to have you here with us. 🙂 I like your art works in your new blog. They’re really cute!
      I also like what I read on your Life Lesson’s- “Live each day like it’s your birthday”…it’s the first time I’ve read that and it’s really good. 🙂

      1. Yeah.. I think it’s really good that it’s phrased positively. Everyone else is familiar with “Live life as if it’s your last day”, so putting it that way is a more positive approach. Different but still really good. 🙂

  1. Hi Nina!
    Great that you’ve thought about this 😃

    1. Hi Andrei! Thanks for dropping by. 🙂
      Yes, I’m getting more fond of your blog. I think your writings are intelligent and I will definitely feature your blog on mine sometime soon. 🙂

  2. Hello Nina 🙂

    It is great to see you throw your very first Meet & Greet party! I’m happy to join in.

    I have been a little behind on my reading lately, but I really enjoy your blog, I plan on catching up on your recent posts this afternoon 🙂 And your other visitors’ blogs also! These parties are always a great way to discover new faces…

    For you, Ninna’s friends and readers, I am Cyranny, and I take care of the Cove. It is a convenience store kind of blog, with a little bit of everything… Poetry, fiction (long and short), anecdotes, humor, pictures. I love to write, challenge other bloggers occasionally (always in a very friendly way) and above all, I love exchanging comments 🙂

    Lately, I have been working a lot on the #NovemberNotes challenge, and here is one of my latest stories https://cyranny.wordpress.com/2016/11/23/brave-enough/

    I raise my glass to all of you, and wish you all a great share & mingle weekend!!

      1. Awww thank YOU Nina 🙂 I’m always happy to see your smily face in the Cove… And your blog is so full of inspirational words 🙂

      2. Honeyyyy IIIII’m baaaaaack!! 😉

        I won’t give hugs or shake hands tonight, because I woke up with some sneaky kind of cold Chéri probably brought back from work… But I really wanted to come and give the party a third round!

        I brought very cheesy nachos and a few Coronas for those interested 😉

        I also brought a link for a silly post of mine, to show the more absurd side of the Cove… You might find it funny, or stupid, but it is part of what Lovelies have to put up with when you decide to hang around me… lol So, it might just be a warning 😛

        https://cyranny.wordpress.com/2016/11/26/being-creative-at-work/

        Hoping to see you around soon 🙂

        Great Sunday to all!

  3. Thank you for hosting, Nina!!! Meet & Greets are such fun! I am Mack from https://mackmarie.com . I started my blog as a way to update our friends and family on all the happenings of my and my husband’s adventures in California. I use it to share recipes, random thoughts, and loads of food pictures. I absolutely adore this blogging community. Nice to meet you all 🙂

      I’m sorry, but I have to do it again! Guys, if you don’t know Mack already, jump on that link! Mack is a little energy ball and her joyfull ways are sure to put a smile on your face! But make sure you eat before you visit her blog… She has tons of foodie pictures that would make you drewl even if you’ve just eaten the whole Thanksgiving turkey (or vegetarian dish replacing it :P)…

      Mack is just a fantastic girl… Beautiful in and out! Visit her, and give her some love 🙂 (please 😉 )

      Mwwwahhh!!

  4. Hello Nina,

    Boss in the middle here, hope I’m not too late! I have read a few of your posts and am intrigued by your perspectives. I am enjoying your blog and hope that you have a chance to check out my blog at bossinthemiddle.com

    I look forward to reviewing and following more blogs here on wordpress. I started my blog with an idea to help other middle managers become leaders, but I have gained much more than I bargained for. I want to keep writing and improving, with hopes of reaching many people throughout the world. At the very least, my children will have a record of my ideas, thoughts and beliefs.

  9. Hi, Nina. My name is Hugh and, like you, I’ve also got a blog party happening at the moment. Here’s the link to it.

    https://hughsviewsandnews.com/2016/11/26/glimpses-prelaunch-blog-party/

    I’m about to publish my first book. It’s called ‘Glimpses’ and gets published on Dec 1st. The blog party I am holding is a prelaunch party and everyone is welcome to come on by and introduce themselves to the guests who have already arrived.

    I live in the UK and have been blogging since February 2014. I’m dyslexic and always allowed it to stop me writing. Then I discovered blogging and the rest, as they say, is history. I do hope you’ll pop on over to my party and, please, bring as many guests as you like.

    Thanks for hosting your blog party. It’s great to meet you.

I hope you enjoy your stay here! 😊

      1. I did, thank you. Although I’ve started my diet already. People will think I’m crazy to start to try and lose weight in the middle of the holidays…I think that of myself sometimes too!

        But I hope it will at least help me not to gain pounds during this time of year…

      2. That’s amazing, actually. 🙂 Although you might really need to double the effort because it will just be more tempting to eat this holiday! 🙂 I wish you good luck and let me know how it works! 🙂

      3. To be honest, I started the diet without any thought of the time of year it was… 😦

        I may have to “reset” the diet in January…(hehe). But thank you for the good luck wishes!

        You have a wonderful holiday season, Nina…

      6. Just try to be consistent as much as you could…it takes time and lots of efforts but it will be all worth it! … if you find exercise boring or hard, try the “natural gym”…i.e. use the stairs more often than the elevator, park your car farthest from entrances so you get a chance to walk…I learned getting more mobile compared to eating less works better when trying to lose weight. 😉

      7. I just did that today. I had to go to Walmart and there was no parking spot close to the doors…I thought I’d have to park a mile away! As it was, it seemed to be only 1/2 a mile…(hehe).

        Thanks for the encouragement and tips, Nina!
