Enlighten me. Open me up to something new. Expand my horizons.

in From PlainJaneMom.com

In case you missed it, over at Linksational (formerly Go Read It Today) I link out to blog posts that I think deserve more attention. But lately I feel like I keep linking to the same sites over and over again — I need some fresh meat!

So. In the comments below, please leave me links to blogs I should be reading — yours or someone else’s. I want to spread the love further than I do now, and I need your help!

And as always, there is about a one bazillion percent higher chance I will continue to read the blogs you suggest if they publish full RSS feeds.

Thanks!

And speaking of my other sites, over at Momsational I’m giving away a home security system to a blogger, another Evenflo car seat, and about a dozen other prizes. Check it out. I’d love for one of you to win :)

I wish I were worthy of Linksational but I decided to put some stuff under password and the rest prolly leaves people cold and/or bored to tears. I miss the days when I had more than eight readers. Looking for new blogs to read too so I’m looking forward to seeing who comes forward.

I’m currently a separated mom of two, reconciling with her husband and moving across country again to bring my family back together. Former sufferer of secondary infertility, I have yet to come out publicly with my third pregnancy because it’s a whoopsie. I guess I just did.

Well I think you’ve followed my blog in the past but I’ve lost my proverbial ‘oomph’, so I’ve resorted to posting pics from “I can has Cheezburger” until I get my groove back…

I guess since Lala gave a little blurb about her blog, I may as well also. My husband and I are currently adopting a little girl from China, but because of the neverending slowdown over there, our documents have been sitting there for 17 months so far. We’ve probably got at least another two or three more years to wait (but realistically nobody knows). Woo. Whoever said international adoption (or adoption in general) is easy, should be smacked. ;)

I have received a lot of feedback on my blog – especially as it realates to new mothers in their thirties. A blog post that has hit home with many has been “Deciding To Have A Baby – Do You Encourage Motherhood” (http://blogspot.expectingexecutive.com/2008/01/15/do-you-encourage-motherhood.aspx).

May be worth a look-see. Love linsational!

you can find mine with a full rss feed but lately it is just boring drivel about dancing and cheering girls, winter formals, what to do with 10lbs of jelly beans and, oh yeah, that grandbaby of mine due in june and how my six year old explains the facts of life.

i am hooked lately on confessions of a cf husband cfhusband.blogspot.com but maybe because his story is so close to home for me.

I’ll share my personal blog once I get a little more content. I just started it about a month ago. Still a little ((shy)) so it’s still under lock & key… excited to finally do it though!

Hi, I am pretty new to all this – but have an interesting twist – typical mommy/life blog except we decided to pick up and move to Costa Rica for the thrill of it. I talk about our life here at http://www.costaricacrazy.blogspot.com

I also started a new one to promote my new spin at entrepenuership (boy that sounds like manure-ship) and upcoming children’s book. It is pretty new and still evolving.

http://www.monkeybarrelpress.blogspot.com

Any tips welcomed.

Thanks so much, enjoy your blog.

I really love the podcast Jumping Monkeys and its accompanying blog:

http://www.jumpingmonkeys.com

And I’m not just saying that because I, The Favorite Aunt (http://www.thefavoriteaunt.com), was a guest on Episode 30. :-)

Via Jumping Monkeys, I discovered another great, very funny blog, Dad Gone Mad:

You have to love the tagline: “Embarassing My Kids Since 2004″
