Let’s Take a Little Trip Around the Blogosphere, Shall We?

by

I have a lot of “business” to handle today but stick with me ’cause I promise it’s worth it. Ok, well I think it is anyway. It’s Friday, I mean what else have you got to do, really…

So let’s get started.

Jen sent me these granola bars for some Good Mail (a couple of weeks ago – I’m late. I know).

Why you ask? Because I mentioned on here a month or so ago that I and The B Man like eat a lot of them. That girl is good. After that same “shout out” for the those morsels of yuminess the company themselves emailed me thanking me for mentioning that I like their goods and promised me a couple of free boxes. I have yet to see those. So Jen, you are better than them. You totally rock!

And… Steph sent me this cute t-shirt and a bracelet (not pictured, sorry the boys got ahold of it and I haven’t seen it since. I will find it, I promise!!) for guest posting on her blog last week while she was takin’ in the sun and surf. That is SO sweet of you Steph and I love it!


And in more bloggy world news, Brittany’s babies were GIRLS!!! Head over there to congratulate her if you haven’t already. They are gorgeous and SO sweet…

Do y’all know McMommy? I know a lot of you do. I love her weekly POW and have been participating in it for several weeks now. What was your favorite post this week? If you want everyone to know about it go over there and join her Post of the Week party!

Oh and Wendi is gracious enough to be hosting a Favorite Things Swap. I think this is such a fun idea!! If you want to share some of your favorite things with someone else you should join up. I did! : )

Lastly, on a more personal note my friend Michelle’s boy Cooper starts Kindergarten next week. Big deal, right? Well, he’s the first kiddo in our playgroup to leave the nest. His big send off is at the big mouse pizza place tomorrow. I can’t believe he’s old enough to start school already. But alas, he is and although it’s bitter sweet we know he’s going to do great!

Alright, that’s all I got. Y’all have a great weekend. We’re havin’ a much needed date night on Saturday (thanks to my MIL for babysitting!) and I believe I forsee a nap in my future on Sunday…

  1. Hi Elaine,

    Thanks for the fun trip around the blogosphere! I have also been following Brittany, but missed the update. I love a good POW too.

    Looks like we travel in the same circles.

  2. What a lot of fun things going on in this virtual world of ours! So excited about Brittany’s GIRLS. :o) Too cool Quaker sent you granola bars – wow!

  3. This was a fabulous idea!
    I loved the trip around the Blogasphere.
    You are such a plethora of knowledge!

    * and thanks for the link to my swap!

  7. What generosity! Maybe I need to start writing about stuff I like!

    I’m going to do the swap, too, I just need to finish my email to Wendi.

  9. I love it when someone in our good mail group send something someone loves. I wish I were more on top of things. Great post! have a good weekend.

  10. I really love the idea of good mail. But I don’t know where to start. Guess I’ll just start at the top of the list and work my way down.

    I haven’t been the best participate considering that I’ve been signed up for like a month or so. Guess I better get on it or I might get the boot. lol
