Come Check It Out

I have a new, second home on the internet. 5 Minutes for Special Needs is a site for families with special needs children. Yours truly was asked to be a contributor for this site, so I’ll be posting there on Mondays and Thursdays. In addition to myself, there are several other moms and dads from all over the internet who are sharing their own stories and experiences on the site. Come on over and show us some love!

Call Me Crazy

It’s back! And I’m going to attempt this yet again (maybe this time I will actually make it through the month). National Blog Posting Month starts November 1st, so there will be much bloggage here next month. I’m thinking ahead and making sure there will be no excuses for missing a post. Not even when I’m away in Georgia next month for our short little family getaway–the focus of those posts will be about our travels, and how we fare while travelling gfcf. So sign up and join me and all the other participants as we go for 30 posts in 30 days!

Can You Feel the Love?

I am pleased to announce that I am the recipient of some sweet blog love! Thank you!

My buddy Annie has awarded me these two blog awards. Annie and I became acquainted on an online forum for stay-at-home-moms. Annie isn’t on that forum anymore, but I feel so blessed to have been able to stay in touch with her and form a friendship online with someone I’ve yet to meet (oh, how 21st century!). Ironically enough, Annie and I live within a modest driving distance of each other but still haven’t met. Someday, when the stars align–and our kiddies cooperate–we’re going to have to meet up for tea and girl-talk.

So, now it falls on me to share the love with some of the other bloggers who move me, make me laugh, and just brighten my day!

Lynn at Free to Eat. She is a food (and other life stuff) blogger like me. She’s got a musical family, also like me. What I love about her blog is that Lynn’s wonderful spirit really comes through in what she writes and creates in her kitchen. One day Lynn’s family and mine are going to get together for a little flamenco and Navar jam session!

Carmen of Mom to the Screaming Masses and The Elff Diet. Carmen’s got a gaggle of children, and is still sane enough to put together a coherent thought. Oh, and she’s lost over seventy pounds and is sharing her wealth of knowledge with the entire world. Go girl!

Ali at Divine Domesticity. She’s a fantastic cook. Her food is not gfcf, but her creations really motivate me to experiment in my own kitchen. She just gave birth to an adorable baby girl, and is revealing all the stuff about first time motherhood that nobody bothers to tell you about before your kid is born.

Kelly at Mocha Momma. She works as a dean at a high school (which should qualify her for sainthood or something). Kelly’s got a razor-sharp wit, and I just love, love, love her blog.

Attila the Mom at Cheaper Than Therapy. ATM is hilarious, smart, and so REAL. Her posts are funny, touching, poignant, and sometimes snarky. I’ve adopted some of her Attila-isms in my daily vernacular (ex. Richard Cranium, Asshat of the Week, etc), which is a testament to how much I enjoy her writing.

Ooh, I feel all warm and fuzzy!
