5MinutesForMom.com has started a new Friday Carnival. The idea is to appreciate loyal readers of your blog that take the time to comment regularly. We all know how great if feels to open up the browser to our blog and see a comment waiting--like a little present... This carnival is in support of those that make us feel like we should keep on bloggin'--those loyal readers that let you know that they are out there reading your blog each day (gotta love them!)
I learned about "Say it FORWARD" from Stacy's Random Thoughts. Now this is a blog you can fall in love with! Stacy is so down to earth. After reading just a few of her posts, you feel like you've known her for years. She's funny, and she has a big heart. She's also in the know... I don't know how she does it--she keeps her blog current, AND she's all over the blogosphere leaving comment love.... I love the way she talks about "Princess Nagger," "Wii Fitness," and well, just about anything you can think of in a mommy's daily life! If you haven't been to her site--I highly recommend it!
I started this blog almost 5 months ago! Wow, how time has flown. One of the very first commenters on my blog was Joe from Running Over Fifty. Honestly, I couldn't believe anyone would take the time to read--let alone leave a comment on a blog that was days old--but Joe did just that. He's full of energy and motivation. If you've never run a step in your life, I think Joe could convince you to do it! You can feel his passion for fitness and running--and he writes so descriptively that you almost feel like you're running out there beside him. Over time, I've shifted from a health blog to more of a mommy blog--but that hasn't stopped Joe from stopping by and leaving comments--THANKS bunches Joe!
Another blogger that has been with me since the beginning is Erin from The Mom Buzz. Most of you probably stop by her site already--she's a pretty popular blogger--and you know that she must never sleep! She has one of those blogs that unorganized, flighty people like me covet. She reviews products like crazy--products that she really cares about, and you know that you can trust what she says. She has these cute vlogs that are fun to watch--her personality just shines on through! (Love your hats, Erin!) But beyond running The Mom Buzz, My Brute Squad, and her new Playdate Picks where moms can chat with each other about anything and everything, Erin has time to stop by my blog EVERY day! EVERY SINGLE DAY! I think that if I went back and counted, I'd be shocked by the number of comments she's left me--a loyal reader and commenter--I so appreciate the time you take from your busy schedule to stop by and comment on my dorky blog, Erin!
The "Say if FORWARD" rules suggests that you highlight 1, 2, or 3 blogs a week. With that, I'm going to stop here and save some more of my favorite blogs to chat about next week (I already have a good idea who I'm going to highlight then, so make sure to come on back! It might just be you!)
Bottom Line... If you haven't been by Stacy's Random Thoughts, Running Over Fifty, or The Mom Buzz, I highly recommend all three of these blogs--and make sure to leave a comment!
