Happy Valentine's day, to all of the Bloggers that I love!
"Roses are red,
Violets are purple,
Sugar's sweet
And so is maple surple."
(Hank Williams, Jr.)
Let's see, there's (in no particular order)
http://www.antiquemommy.com/ , for a great outlook, faith and a sweet boy who keeps reminding me that my boys are growing up too fast. I wish that I had started blogging years ago, or at least keeping a journal, but reading hers is almost as good.
http://wackymommy.org/ , for politics, recipes and great writing. And the black lab adoration society!
http://icanflyjustnotup.blogspot.com/ , because over Christmas she brought back memories of songs you don't hear on the radio, and because she is a goon show and musicals fan.
http://psychicgeek.com/ , because it is comforting to know that there are other weird people in the world. We see dead people. I ignore mine.
http://bluebellababe.blogspot.com/ , because she is too sexy for her shirt. This chick is so original! A blog with a different twist and plenty of alcohol.
http://www.crockpot365.blogspot.com/ , because geez, I really need help and inspiration in the kitchen. Today, I made her crockpot black bean soup, and everybody loved it and had seconds.
http://wipingupsnot.com/ , because anyone who swizzles her man's toothbrush in the toilet when he has vexed her is my friend. (eh, Shar?)
http://trinigirlblue.blogspot.com/ , because she's the only Trini Blogger who I must read daily. She has a pet tarantula, and ought to adopt my son Chas.
http://planetnomad.wordpress.com/ , because she has great stories to tell about life on our diverse planet, and her husband wears a beret.
http://www.gnmparents.com/ , for superb parenting advice. This is a community of writers who have sound, tried-and-tested-and-argued-over suggestions on everything from homework battles to homeschooling to potty training. I like their philosophy.
There are other great writers out there, and I don't want y'all to feel sad and blue, but these ones here are all that I can get through on an almost-daily basis. Whenever I have time, I check out others. When I fall in love, I add them to my daily must-read list but often, someone's gotta go to make room! Yikes! I love good writing, I love it when people make me laugh out loud, I love when I am forced to think, to look stuff up.
I love you all! Mwah! Mwah! Thank you for inspiring me! Have a marvellous Valentine's Day!
This website was invented many years ago, when the author kept coming across interesting things in pockets whilst doing laundry. Like small, terrified reptiles. Blogging about raising children in the rainforest, moving them to the UK and watching them leave home one by one to have their own adventures has gradually been replaced by a return to grownup life for their mother, Nan Sheppard, who is an anthropologist, writer and public international law consultant.
