Our family is hitting the road for a reunion next week. Along the way, we’d love a chance to meet you if you live in the St. Louis, Missouri or Nashville, Tennessee areas.
We just have a small window of time while our boys are between church camp obligations, otherwise we’d make more stops along the way to meet even more of you. We have loved our time meeting up with you when we travel!!
You realize, don’t you, that it was at last year’s Meet and Greets I started liking coffee? :)
Soooooo, can you come, can you come??? Here are the details:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
St. Louis Area Meet and Greet: Panera Bread (actually known as St. Louis Bread Company) located at 2079 Zumbehl Rd, St Charles, MO 63303
Our family will be there on Wednesday, June 18 from 10:00 am to 11:30 am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nashville Area Meet and Greet: Panera Bread located at 2534 Powell Ave, Nashville, TN 37204
Our family will be there on Thursday, June 19 from 10:00 am to 11:30 am.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Come if you can so we can hang out and chat. You are welcome to bring your kids along. I love meeting them too!
It’s been so much fun to watch your kids interact with my kids during the Meet and Greet times.
A couple of notes:
- If you live in one of these areas and think it will work for you to be there, would you mind shooting me a quick email? I’d love to have a point person for each location, just in case I need to call and say, “We’re late but we’re coming – watch for the scatter-brained lady with frazzled hair.”
- If you don’t email me, you can definitely still come. Just show up – it will be so fun to see you!
- I’ll be bringing along some Oh, For Real cookbooks and printed Learn Your Letters, Learn to Serve curriculum in case any of you are interested in buying them without having to pay shipping costs.
- Sorry for the late notice. I’m just now getting the details of this trip figured out because I’ve only known about this upcoming trip for 8 months. {rolls eyes at self}
- I promise to talk about more than just the subject of butter when we’re together. Wait. What else is there?
- Can’t be there on time? Just come whenever you can before 11:30.

Sounds like fun, I wish you safe travels. :) If the Nashville visit had been on Saturday I might have been able to make it. Maybe next time though.
Laura says
How I would love to see you and hug your neck again!
Keri S says
Oh man! You are going to be 10 minutes from my house on Wednesday, and I will be in Chicago. Bummer for me. Hope you guys have a fun, safe trip! :)
Laura says
No way. I didn’t time that very well, did I?
phyllis says
Almost makes me want to ride up to Nashville, just to meet you. If you are ever in the South Ga/North Fl area please let me know. I feel like I already know your boys. Have a great and safe trip.
Laura says
If we ever go that far east/south, I’ll definitely plan a meet-up time!
Esther says
And now that we moved out of TN you go there! We lived 2 1/2 hrs from Nashville and moved to PA 2 months ago. I would seriously considering making the drive if we would still be in TN. Wish you a safe trip!
Laura says
Aw, shucks. This always makes me wish I could make a huge US tour to meet everyone! Of course, then I’d want to venture out of the US to see all my international readers… :)
Charlotte Moore says
Those are so nice. I looked for a dough roller on their website.
alicia says
Laura! I’m an hour east from Nashville in Cookeville! It would be so great to meet you!!! We have a 2 week old babycakes #5, so I cannot commit 100%…to be your contact person! But, I can be more for sure the beginning of the week. This is great! I reallllllly need to get out of the house! (:
Laura says
I super hope you can make it! (And understand if you can’t because it’s tough enough just to find a clean shirt when you have a 2 week old.) No prob on the point person – someone else from Nashville emailed and we’re squared away on that. Come if you can, and I’ll be happy to give your arms a break while I snuggle your little one. :)
Kim says
I live in IL, right across the river from St. Louis. I would have loved to have met you, unfortunately we’ll be in Kansas City next Wednesday. Hopefully you’ll head back this way sometime. Have a great trip!
Laura says
Shucks – so many people traveling this time of year! I’m sure we’ll head your way another time. :)
Molly says
Ack! I JUST moved to STL! I’ll see when some of our furniture is getting delivered, fingers crossed I can make it!
Laura says
Ooh, exciting and busy time for you. :) Hopefully you can sneak away for a little while to hang out and relax a little bit from the hard work of moving!

I wish……I feel as if I know you and your family already :) I tell my daughter all about things you post….she laughs at me…..I will say Laura does this, Laura does that…and Laura’s kids are so good looking and also her husband too :)
Was even talking about you a bit ago…she goes to the “Y” and works out every day, so she stopped by for coffee….she was telling me about this Bean Dip she is making again, I have eaten it and it is delicious so I asked her what all she puts in it, and one thing is a pkg. of Taco seasoning mix…..I said Laura doesn’t use this stuff, she makes her own and keeps it on hand all the time :) I said I will check her site and see how she makes it and will let you know…..so that is what I am doing on here this early…..I usually don’t get on the computer until after all my work is done….
I probably live about 8-10 hrs. from where you are meeting…(I’m guessing) lol…..
So when are you planning on a trip to OHIO ? We have lots of Panera’s here and this is one of my daughter’s favorite places to eat……
We have a great amusement park here “KINGS’ ISLAND” your boys would love this place…… my youngest granddaughter is almost 13 and she goes all the time…..she rides all the rides…even the real scary ones that I would not think of riding…..they have a new one out this year…..but she says she is waiting till next year to ride that one…..ok with me if she never rides it :)…..
Laura says
Love this! We would LOVE to come to Ohio sometime – I have so many readers there! Very much hoping we can make it work sometime. :)
Tina says
We live in St. Louis but will be out of town next week :( Maybe next time!
Laura says
Hopefully we’ve travel through there again eventually. I’d love to meet you!
MacKenzie says
Well I live just south of St. Louis and I won’t be traveling this next week! I’ll be trying to make it with a couple friends DH asked me who you were and I told him you were the one responsible for his beloved “cheesy-beef-a-roni” dish (aka cheeseburger macaroni) and he was excited. He loves that dish!
Laura says
Awesome! Bring your friends and come on down (over, up, whatever). :) See you then!
Deborah says
I am so excited that you are coming to Nashville. I will be there. I live on the outskirts of Nashville but work right down the street from where we are meeting. So great lunch break. See you there.
Laura says
That’s perfect! :)
Cynthia says
I would so love some of these; perfect for my woodworking father!
