Hug Twice

A blog carnival is a collection of posts about a particular subject, gathered together and published in link form on a single blog. The participants submit their articles for consideration and the host blog picks what fits and publishes them together. It is a great way to find other blogs writing about similar topics to what you are, and a fun way to build community. This past week, three carnivals went live that had posts from this blog included, and I am really excited!

First, the Mothers and Daughters Carnival was at Real Life and my post Baby Curls was included. When I popped over to read the carnival, a post from the host blog really caught my attention - What Did I Get Done Today - and the author is so right. We need to remember all the things we did do like hugged our kids instead of going crazy over what didn’t get accomplished. I especially liked this carnival post:

• Diagonally Parked in a Parallel Universe: Giant Pink Marshmellow. So cute! I can’t wait to take Alexa and CJ sledding this year, although Alexa will be a blue marshmellow.

The Carnival of Family Life was at the so called me and my post Snow Day, Interrupted was included. I’ve come to enjoy the two hour delays, though. I also related to these carnival posts:

• Me, Only Better: Just Mom Again. I can completely relate to feeling like therapist and counselor and forgetting that sometimes, I am just CJ’s mom.
• The Frugal Duchess: Lessons From My Daughter’s Curly Hair. What hair maintenance can teach us about money management! Really clever
• An Ordinary Mom: Keeping the Spirit of Christmas: Stocking “Stuffers”. This is a cute idea. I love it! I need to remember it for when my kids are a bit older.

And last but certainly not least, the Carnival of SAHMs is at Wired For Noise and my post One Year Old Pictures, Just a Month Late was included! I need to go pick up those pictures today actually… while I’m doing that, check out this post:

• Seabird Chronicles: The $1500 Faucet. Isn’t that how life always is? One thing leads to another and another and…

Thank you to all the carnival hosts for including me and click on over to find some favorites for yourself!
