Good Morning!
I’d like to take a moment to direct you over to something I happen to be very proud of. I currently have a book review up on Mama Speaks. This kicks off a new weekly book feature we’ll be doing over there. And I’ll admit it - I worked hard on it. I interviewed one of the editors and a few of the contributors for it, and between picking up cereal from the floor and changing about 3,112 poopie diapers (there’s been a tummy bug over here…don’t ask) I managed to put it together. Why is it so hard to admit when we are proud of something? I’m so paranoid about writing that here, like it’s wrong to be proud of one’s work. Anyway, I highly recommend the book and feel free to go and check out my review. It was nice to be in contact with adults for a while there, not to mention kind of scary and intimidating.
As it happens, the editor I interviewed has just started a new blog, Up Mama’s Wall, and the other editor has a blog called Suburban Gardener, which is about, well, you can probably guess. So by all means, click on over there as well.
And thank you for all of your thoughtful comments on my Blog Ads inquiry - it’s fascinating how everyone has such different takes. I look forward to following up on that.
Congrats on your new writing adventure! You are an excellent writer and I know that you put your all into everything you do so I’m confident your review rocks. I will go over and visit there too though. BTW that is an adorable pix of the boys. My kids love those bouncy things, but I’ve never seen a double one.
Your babies are darlin’ and your review is sparkling! LOVE it!!!!!!
Congratulations to you on a thorough, thoughtful and easy (and enjoyable) to read review. No small feat!
Just had to say that I love the picture of your biker boys!!
You should be proud! You had some excellent ideas/input for that new book feature over there. You’re pretty much spearheading right? I’m glad that all your hard work has come to fruition.
Roll on proud train…roll on!
Just read your review — great job! You have every reason to be proud of yourself.
I enjoyed your review (which you should be proud of!) and now want to read the book.
I loved the review! I am truly impressed that you found the time to do that and to do it so well! I really want to read the book now. (Now, how do I find the time to do that??) Great writing, as usual. Loved how you closed. Congrats!
why IS it that we mommies can get so intimidated by talking to other adults. it’s craziness.
Great review on Mama Speaks! I think this is a book I would enjoy. And, you should feel proud! I think that pride in my work/writing is what I miss most about college and teaching. It is awesome that you have an avenue to gain that same feeling while still being home with the poopies.
