I don’t often participate in award nominations, as I don’t have time to read many blogs! But this one was an honor to receive, and one which I gladly pass on. Debbie at Debbie’s Digest gave me this Excellence in Blogcasting award for my recent Home Library Builders series (watch for the next installment forthcoming soon!) It has been so much fun to write a series about one of my favorite topics: books!
The rules for this award are rather loose, and I am making them even more blogger-friendly. If you want to pass the award on, to as few or many people as you choose, go for it! If not, that’s fine, too. I hope my readers will check out a few of my favorite blogs.
Brenda at The Tie That Binds Us is a blogger after my own heart. Her excellent, informative blog often gives me food for thought in my homeschool. She is dedicated to making your homeschool stronger, and I love her for that. Her new blog carnival, Homeschool History Buffs, is great. It’s fun to get some fresh ideas about what others are doing for history.
Dawn at Olive Plants is another homeschooler who has a passion to make us better teachers. A former teacher herself, she brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her homeschool classroom. Dawn is also a good friend and I can attest, she is the real deal! I admire her homeschool very much.
She is probably too busy right now with her house remodel to blog about school, much less pass this award to anyone, but please check out her blog, especially the posts from January 2009 and before. You’ll be so glad you took the time! Her post about the job jar is great for getting kids enthused about chores. For links to several of her best posts from 2008, click here.
Another blog I prioritize reading is the Homeschool Blog Awards blog. Several ladies take turns writing this blog. I enjoy reading the different ideas and perspectives about a single topic in their regular memes and blog carnivals.
Also, please visit the Mentoring Moments blog. I try to post there once a week, on topics that relate to our monthly theme, and several other Christian women blog there weekly, as well. There is a give-away on the MMCW blog right now for free Bible verse post it notes, so head over and enter to win!
The Mentoring Moments for Christian Women e-zine was just updated with a brand new look for spring. I wrote three articles this month about The Lie of Feminism, an article about how we use our Jesse Tree for Easter Season devotions, and one about raising strong boys. You’ll find lots of inspirational articles, practical homemaking tips and recipes, book reviews, free podcasts, encouraging video clips and much more!
