I love my besties. I love our coffee dates, our giggles, our sleepovers, our sweet cards & phone calls that keep us in touch when the miles are too far.
So to start off today & in celebration & love of my besties, I’m giving away a $10.00 giftcard to Starbucks for you & your bestie to enjoy a cup of coffee together.
Who is your best friend & what is your favorite thing to do together?
My best friend and I met in 6th grade when she moved to TN from Illinois. We have been through so much together from first kisses, first boyfriends, proms, high school graduation, college roommates, her moving to Florida, weddings and now babies!
My BFF is Jen. We've known each other over half our lives. We text each other at least 250 times a day. All hours of the day and night. We watch TV together.
Our favorite thing to do is watch HGTV and laugh at the people on House Hunters – you know….the newlyweds who think their clothes should be next to each other, the people who complain about a light fixture because, hello, can't change that, right?
We have our own language nobody else understands and, when I said, "Hobbit House" and "Camping Equipment", she knows exactly what I mean.
I'd be totally lost without her and our nightly TV watching marathons.
far and away my best girl friend is my sister. She is two years older than me, and I couldnt have a better friend/mentor. I feel like my life might have slowly circled the drain had I not had her example to help me. We now both have little boys( hers-15 mos, mine-7 mos.), and it is just so fun to share this stage of like with her as well.
As for what we like to do? Anything…especially shop. Preferrably at a thrift store or yard sale where we can laugh over all the weird ceramic kittens.
My bestie is L, a friend from college, and our favorite activity is late night talks over a tub of frosting and a bottle of wine. It's been way too long since we've had a chance to do that.
My best friend is Kelly, a wonderful woman I met while working at a retail store in college. We broke up once, but got back together because we realized how much we really love eachother! We usually do dinner/drinks dates!
Happy Birthday, Blair! I'm super pumped for giveaway day! Me and my bff from college LOVVVE getting mani/pedis together whenever we get a chance!
We will actually just go to random stores that are open 24 hours and laugh at stupid stuff while walking around. We last did this at Wal-Mart and she nearly peed herself laughing at my perfume descriptions in the beauty department
My bestie is my coworker & cubemate. We even have the same birthday. Love her!
My best friend is my mama. We love to go to starbucks together, grab a mocha and vanilla bean scones! Usually we have my daughter with us and she loves her "coffee" which is really hot cocoa. Don't worry I dont give my 2 year old coffee! Its great to have this bonding time with 2 of my favorite people!
I met my best friend through my husband and now she is having a baby too! Can't wait to meet her little bundle in October!
My bff is Christi! We have been friends since the fifth grade, but I just recently turned her on to coffee! I would love to share a cup and have one of our great talks together!
my bestie lives miles away but we used to love enjoying coffee together. maybe we can make a date to get together soon with the gift card
My bestie and I have been going to a medieval festival every year for ages…we dress up in silly outfits, use fake accents and pick up fair boys!
My best friend is my Mom (awwww…) and she and I love to go shopping together.
My bestie lives in another state unfortunately but we chat on the phone all the time and still manage to see each other at least a couple times a year. I would love to treat her for coffee the next time I see her!
I would have to say my best friend and I jus get together and talk and talk and talk
My bestie and I became besties while we were planning my wedding, 6 years ago. During the planning process, we lamented that our kids would not grow up anywhere close in age to each other, because she was nowhere close to getting married. I claimed,"Well, I'll just wait for you!". Thanks to major infertility (on my part) and a surprise honeymoon baby (on her part), we now have sons a few months apart…who, of course, are besties as well!
My best bestie is Ginger. I love her more than words just because she is always there. And I hope she knows I always am too. Our best times are sitting anywhere just catching up and listening to each other.
I have two… one far away and one God brought to me after the first moved far away.
Happy Birthday!
Definitely my sister – whether we're eating out, sharing a frap, or shopping, as long as we're together we're having a good time!
My best friend and I met at age 3, while frolicking in the field that seperated our house. We do pretty much everything together – and wouldnt you know it, she is getting married a whole 16 days before me. EVERYTHING together.
I have two besties – my sister and my husband! I tell my sister everything that I don't tell my husband
and just be goofy together! My hubby is my BFF and soulmate, and our favorite thing to do together (other than make babies, haha) is to sit outside and drink or eat ice cream and make each other laugh.
Happy Birthday Blair!
My best friend is Margaret. We have been friends since kindergarten (30 YEARS…OMG!!!!!). Since we have both moved away from one another we get together over coffee generally when we are both in town and grandmas can watch the kids.
My best friend is my husband! We love Chonga Bagels and Vanilla Lattes from Starbucks. Happy Birthday B!
My best friend is Sarah. We have the same first and middle name just spelled differently. We have been friends since middle school and besties since high school. Anything we do together is fun, because we make it fun! Life has been busy lately ( she is getting married at the end of the month & I have a 9 month old baby) so we havent seen each other much, but we LOOOVVVEEE coffee…lol
I have a couple, but the bestie that would appreciate splitting the coffee with me the most would be my girl, Sarah. Our time together is either coffee, or dinner or wine, and those are just the best.times. And since she's pregnant with #4, she's laying low off the wine, and being a SAHM to 3 & PG with one, I know that girl could use some caffeine!
I have four amazing best friends. We all live states away from each other so each day we write e-mails to each other. Our e-mails become one big long conversation. We use our e-mail like IM. I miss my girls every day.
My bestie was my college roommate and now we don't live in the same city which makes me sad. Our favorite things to do are 1) gossip about people from our hometown (where neither of us will ever live again) 2) chat about REALLY bad television 3)chat about really good music.
I miss my bestie.
my best friend that i would take for coffee would be my husband. i'd be totally lonely without him
i moved to chicago from atlanta last year and i don't really have any friends up here, so while i'd love to take my girl best friends for coffee- they're all 700+ miles away.
Well, since Jessica is WEIRD and doesn't like coffee (I hope you're reading this, J!), maybe she could just go sit with me at Starbucks while I soak up some caffeine for the two of us while the husbands take care of the babies!
My best friend has been there for me through thick and thin. She's probably the only other person aside from my husband who I know will not judge me no matter what. I could literally go to her one day and say "Kelly, I robbed a bank today" and she would find some way to look at it as a good thing I did. I don't know what I would do without her.
I met my newest best friend in a new mom's group when our babies were only a couple months old. It's amazing to learn about each other first as new moms, and now as "more than just moms." She's the kind of friend who tells you the whole truth – I love that.
my besti is Melissa. Most recently she has been busy making my favborite little person C. He is adorable, but she has been having a rough go of it- so maybe she need to go out for coffee
My best friend (outside of my husband) is my mom and we love to hang out when they come to town to visit! We love to shop! Starbucks has become a fast favorite pastimes for the both of us!
I have many besties. new ones emerge with being a mom but the old ones stick around–I feel so fortunate. going out of the house and enjoying something indulgent, like coffee (or red wine) always hits the spot.
My BFF is Michele. We met through work in 2002 and it was an instant bond.
When she was in need, I helped her and her children with her having to ask, by buying groceries or giving her some gas money.
Then, when I was in need of help after having my daughter, she was the first person to buy me and the baby clothes! Among other things.
Today, though we're a few hours drive apart, we still send each other letters and cards just to show we're thinking of the other.
When she visits, it's out thing to get our eye brows waxed and have a Frappachino from Starbucks.
My SIL! We love to do whatever, but we've had a lot of fun quilting together in the past.
My best friend is Kristen. She actually told me about your blog, and we have both been obsessed ever since. I actually took 8 hours to start from the begining and read it straight through from your first blog-December 2009 when I started to follow you. Anywho…..on to the bestie. We have known eachother for 27 years. She is my best friend, and somehow we are sisters from another mother. She is amazing. Our moms were friends in high school and best friends after that. We lived next door to eachother in an aptartment and shared a bedroom wall for 4 years and talked through that wall before bed every night. We have been through it all together and our favorite thing to do is laugh together. we were eachothers Maid of Honor in our weddings and I hope to some day be neighbors again. I love you sis
Muwah!!!!!!!
Ya know its funny how Starbucks (and yes only Starbucks) Is like therapy. You can go there with a bestie and solve all the problems of the world!
My bestie is my sister, Jenna. She's single, lives at home with my parents, we used to not get along, but now we only live a mile apart and see each other almost every day!
Happy Birthday Blair! This is a cute idea.
My best friend is my husband. I know, it's probably cliche, but it's true. One of our favorite things to do is go see a movie and grab a coffee afterwards. We've been doing this since before we even started dating and it's a nice tradition.
My BFF is Tammy. We have been friends forever! As we have grown getting together and spending time together isn't as easy as it once was. We can always count on getting together for at least a cup of coffee. We can drag out that cup of coffee for hours giving us time to catch up on our lives and what is going on with our kids and gossip.
My bestie is Jordan – we connected over learning how to write our letters and numbers in kindergarten. She is a plane ride away now, but we talk on a daily basis and I don't know what I'd do without her!
When we get together we like to go to our favorite lunch spot, followed by a shopping trip.
My hubbie! I never get any sleep because, coming up on our 3 year anniversary now, we still stay up all night nearly every night talking to the wee hours of the morning. I always pictured a man who would hold my hand and whisper with me every night, and he does just that.
sidenote – we met at starbucks!!
My BFF, Amanda, and I have been friends for 23 years now, since we were both 5 and in first grade. Our favorite thing to do is get together and just talk talk talk! I can't talk to anyone the way I can talk with her. Before we know, five hours have gone by!
My best friend, Chris, and I have been best friends since we were 13! We love doing anything and everything together because we are like clones of each other. We are moving away from each other but we know the miles mean nothing! In particular, though, we do the same thing you and your bestie do – drink coffee & vent!
My bestie is Megan- We love to LAUGH! We can sit for hours and just talk and laugh about life!
My best friend is Adri. We met before kindergarten and instantly bonded because we were wearing the same outfit! We live really far apart now, but talk on the phone at least once everyday. She is coming to see my new house in 2 weeks and we could sure use a little coffee date!
my best friends are both of my sisters. i'm 24, and they are 22 and 19. we haven't always gotten along well, and now we are spread out across the country, but whenever we're together, we have a blast. we love just talking, quoting movie or tv show lines, going to coffee and getting our nails done!
My best friend is Amanda, and we have been besties since 6th grade. We like to grab some coffee and go for long walks and talk talk talk.
My best friend is my sister Hannah. We do everything together. Some of our favorite things to do are spending too much money and drinking a little too much. I know that whenever we're doing a little "too much" of anything she's always available to talk and will always keep my secrets. I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful sister!
Happy birthday Blair! Enjoy your day, you deserve it!
I love girl talk! I have many bffs, but two of my favs are Amy and Casie. Whether its laying in bed in our pjs (hey what are neighbors for), laughing for hours at home, or giggling in a restaurant, I always feel refreshed after girl time.
I have to pick ONE!? I have a handful of besties who relate to me on different levels for different reasons, but my absolute best is Andi. I can tell her ANYTHING and have a blast with her in any situation. Our favorite activity is going on walks from my house to downtown to shop, ogle hot boys, and sit on patios chatting and people watching.
I have two best friends (I am a very lucky girl!) Jenny and I have been best friends for 23 years, and Leigh joined us 13 years ago. In high school we used to love to get into anything we could together. Now, as adults, we love to spend time together with all of our kids (each of us has two. Jenny has twins). It is awesome to know that I have two people that I can depend on for laughs, shoulders, or anything else I need!
ok so my absolute besties are my sisters…erin and jesse…the greatest gift to be stuck in the middle of 2 amazing sisters, they love me, fight with me, laugh with me, support me, encourage me, hug on me, call me out when Im being a bitch, pray for me, celebrate with me, cry with me and just plain love me no matter what! I am blessed beyond belief to have 2 sisters that are my best friends!
my best friend is my college roommate, unfortunately she lives about 4 hours away but while we were together we used to love to sit on our porch and just chat the day away. Also our weekly lunches out and mall dates are high on my list of favorites.
This sounds sooo cheesy and cliche, but my husband is truly my best friend. I met him when I was 16 (I just turned 31) and he was my bestie LONG before we started dating. We do everything together, and I really love kicking his butt in mini-golf! We loooove coffee too!
My best friend is from high school, we both live in a different town now and I see her about once a week. We like to just hang out, talk, and indulge in some trashy TV!
My best friend is my sister. Our birthdays are 7 years and 1 day apart. So our favorite thing to do is celebrate our birthdays together, just the 2 of us. We go out to eat and we pay for each others meals…lol! We also have "sister dates" about 2-3 times a month. We will go get coffee, shop, walk in the park, go see a movie, etc. When we were younger, the age difference was annoying, but now that I am 25 and she is 18, the age gap has seemed to close!
My best friends and I have a really pitiful relationship. I rarely see them and rarely speak to them, but when we do manage to get together, over a cup of coffee usually, we haven't missed a beat. It's hard because my friends are in graduate school and/or living in other states so it's hard to get connected with them. I think my husband is probably my real, true, everything best friend, but as far as girlfriends go I don't really have a best friend that is a mutual best friend; they all seem to have other best friends and I'm lower down on the list. Ok, this has gotten rather sad…I'm glad you have lots of besties!
Michelle has been my best friend since the 6th grade. We live about 15 minutes from each other and since we both have kids, our time together usually consists of vegging on the couch watching the little ones play. On a rare occasion, we'll sneak out and do lunch together, so our time isn't interrupted by, "Kameron, get down from there!" and "Keira, be careful!", etc., etc.
In typical girl fashion, my besties and I love to shop together!
my best friend is my cousin, deserey. we both only have brothers, so not only are we best friends, we feel like we're sisters as well. we can do absolutely anything together and laugh for hours.
My bestie is Meghan
We have ben besties since sophmore year in highschool. Even though our lives are totally opposite…I amd married and have a kiddo and she is not married and no kids, we are like sisters. We love to go see chick flicks together. She helps keep the woman side of me going and keeps me from being just a wife and mother.
I have 5. My two sister-in-laws Krust & Sarah. My cousin Laura & my two best non-related friends, Lisa & Steph. We love just hanging out and chatting. Anything from board games to shopping to grabbing a bite- but mostly now-a-days I see them when they come over to help me with my million babies. I couldn't ask for better friends.
I know this sounds hokey but my best friend is my sister. We do everything and nothing together (the latter usually being more fun). I moved to NC last year from NJ where my family lives and we are actually moving back because I just cant stand to be away from her. She is the only person I tell everything to and in her short 20 year life, she has gone through so much, and I am happy to say that I love being there for her!
My husband is my best friend. So is my momma. DH and I love to watch movies and do outdoorsy stuff… Momma and I like to shop and go to bookstores…
I have several besties from when I was little, but they all live every far away
I live in KY… One lives in GA, one in RI, and all the others over an hour away. 
Sad face.
Have two besties which are my hubby and girlfriend April. DH and I love to ride motorcycles and play softball together. April lives in another state so when she is in town we like to shop and have drinks!!
My bestie Megan and I have known each other since 2nd grade! My mom was pregnant with my little sister at that time and whenever my sister is being sarcastic Megan will say, "don't give me lip, I've known you since you were in the womb!"
We love doing anything – making an adventure out of going to Target or Ikea – but we have some standing traditions we love. Going to a mall near us the day after Christmas for a big sale at one of our favorite stores, instead of big gifts we go somewhere historical on our birthdays (surprising the other one – we're nerds and like history), the list could go on and on! I don't know if I could pick a favorite activity because I love spending any kind of time with her! If I win this she and I will go on a date to Starbucks!
My best friend is my sister! We do EVERYTHING together when I get to see her, which thankfully is pretty often. It has been so great being a mom now and watching how wonderful she is with her kids. My favorite thing to do with her is just talk, we could talk for hours every day and never get bored! We are heading on our first every family beach trip with just our two families and I would love to treat her to some Starbucks!
My best friend is my husb- he and I have been through the ringer since this baby has arrived (and before!) and a date just the two of us is out of the question for our budget- even something like this would be just perfect. He is loving, caring, strong and lifts me up even when I am low and don't want to get up. I love you husband.
I have a few besties~ my mom & I love to chat on the phone & it'd be great for us to have the Sbux card to get some tea together (we both love it).
My college girls besties & I have so much fun together! It'd be great to use the giftcard with them to just sit down and catch up!
my best girl-friend is my mom… i definitely have some incredible other girl friends… but my mom is the person that i can sit and chat with… the one i text first… the one that knows exactly what to say… and she adores starbucks almost as much as i do…
i'd love to take her out for coffee… and tell her more about your awesome blog (and yes, i've talked to her about you before. she's a little newish to the whole interweb-world lol).
My best friend is Sarah. We don't live super close to each other so we chat on the phone as often as possible. When we get together we love to just sit on one of our couchs and catch up. There really is nothing like a best friend!
My best friend is my cousin. She lives four houses down from me and we both have 2 kids each so we have a lot in common. Our favorite thing to do together is get pedicures and go out to lunch and drinks on a sunday every month. We both need a break from the kids and we enjoy every second of it.
I have known my BFF since middles school. We are so much alike, and we love to shop together! I wish we had more time together, but she works all the time, and I have a baby.
Cliche, but my best friend is my sister. She lives in Denver (I'm in Michigan), but we talk every other day and live it up when we do get together! And we both have a small addiction to starbucks…
My BFF-er is Brooke! We've been friend for over 10 years. We met at a summer camp for kids and adults with disabilities, and quickly bonded over the challenges and humor that the job brought. Our favorite thing to do is tailgate at a Brewers game and drink Miller Lite. We also love us some karaoke, and love to sing together, while drinking Miller Lite.
We have laughed, loved, and cried together. We watched each other get married, buried our best male friend who sacrificed serving our country, and welcomed her daughter into the world.
I don't know what I woudl do without her!
My bestie is Ashley! We mostly do crafty stuff together…that and talk a lot and cry a lot
my bff lives in MI and I live in CA
So my favorite thing to do is text or chat online.
Usually, we go out for a good meal. This last time, we went strawberry picking. It was so relaxing and fun:-).
My BFF is my hubba bubba. I know, CHEESE! But, he really is. We're pretty low key people,…some of our fave things to do is hit new sushi spots around town and have movie nights @ home.
When in England Sarah and I go to West End Musicals in London and drink Starbucks! We've known each other 26 years. When in America Amanda and I crochet amigurumi and watch bad movies!
I have a couple best friends… my husband of course, but he doesn't quite compare to girl time! My best girl friends have been my friends for over ten years and I love them so much! We love getting a bottle of wine and just laying around laughing hysterically at whatever dumb things we come up with. So much fun!
My bestie is my hubs hands down. He's the one person that I feel I can share absolutely anything with. Our favorite thing to do is hang out together pretty much doing anything (our latest favorite is going to the drive in movies:))
My best friend is Megan. We don't get to see each other that often anymore. When we do though, there is usually shopping and iced coffee's involved!
I met my bestie on college and even thouh we live on opposite ends of the country right now we still keep in touch all the time over facebook, email, and texts.
My best friend is Stephanie. She and I met in nursing school and have been inseperable since. Our favorite thing to do is (as luck would have it) hang out at a local coffee shop and laugh until we've nearly peed ourselves!
Yay for besties!
My best friend is Suzanne. She's everything i'm not in a lot of ways and that's what makes us perfect for each other (opposite do attract). We love to just sit and chat while drinking sweet tea!
hoooomygod! My bestie is Rachel… and now that we are both rockin' the Momminess, our favorite thing to do is get together and let the kiddos play it out, while we chat away. One of us brings the coffee… and if I won this gift card, it would be me. For free. woot! (I am clearly in need of some coffee myself this morning, I am loooopy.)
My best friend is Becky Jo. Our 20th anniversary is next year! I knew that we had known each other for eons but when I stopped and realized it would be 20 years, my mind was boggled! The only person who has known her longer then I have is her husband and he only beat me by a year! (They met in 1st grade, she and I met in 2nd grade.) If I won this gift card I would take her out for some make it our way frappacinos and plan what we'll do for our big anniversary next year!
My best friend is kristen.. and we have been best friends since 9th grade. 13 years later we still love each other and love spending time together with our babies!
My best friend is my Adri. We met while working at Disneyland and we now live on opposite ends of the US with her on the West Coast and me on the East Coast. Our favortie thing to do together is just to hang out wherever. We can have fun pretty much anywhere and we always manage to pick up right where we left off!
My best friend is Sherry. We have been best friends since we were 3. When she was 12 her parents couldn't look after her anymore, so my parents started fostering her.
We now live 3hrs apart and I visit her every other weekend. When we get together we usually sit around chatting and drinking tea, laughing till we almost pee ourselves…and then repeat 2 weeks later =)
My Bff and I favorite thing to do together would be shopping down all the little stores in our hometown with Vanilla Frappucino's in hand!
My BFF of 20 years and I actually LOVE to meet for coffee and catch up. We also love playing scrabble and trying to outdo each other with big words. LOL
My best friend is Stacie. My big sis. We didn't always get along this well but now that we both have kids we have more things in common and it's an excuse for us to get together. We go for walks on a regular basis and enjoy getting together as much as possible.
I would hoard the card the card until I could meet up with my Internet bestie Daina. She is in Chicago and I'm in Nashville, and with 4 littles between us…..our Starbucks GTGs have been few and far between. =( But we've got one planned for some time this summer.
My best friend is my mother because until last year we did not have a relation ship but since Bug came along we are attached at the hip.
Honestly, my bestie is my sweetheart – he's such an amazing man, and he keeps me grounded. It's the best thing ever. And you know what? We love to go to Starbucks together. The giftcard would be a great thing for us.
Happy Birthday, Blair!!
