Blogtipping Day is Today

BlogtippingLooking for some new reads? I have a few for you today. It’s the first of the month which means it is time to go blogtipping. It’s easy - you can do it. Just find three blogs you like, tell us what you like about them and leave a small constructive tip for the blogger. Be nice - it’s fun.

My favorite new read of the month is Busymom.

  1. I love her tagline - better parenting through coffee - yep, that’s me!
  2. Great use of colors and fun graphics.
  3. She always writes with such a fun, tongue in cheek style guaranteed to leave you smiling.

Small tip: Um, don’t have any - you are doing great!

Helping me get back into healthy habits is, Live Life…Organics & Your Health

  1. Her blog’s focus is on a subject that was near to my heart and needs to become a priority again.
  2. Very crisp design.
  3. I like the calendars for the date.

Small tip: something funky is going on with the alignment on the right hand side

And I’m also tipping Step-by-Step, Gayla’s blog on blended families.

  1. While I am not in a blended family situation, Gayla’s blog gives very good insight into the dynamics of a blended family which is helpful to me when dealing with my kids friends who may be.
  2. I like that it is a team effort - giving the reader more diverse insights.
  3. Very soothing colors.

Small tip: the BYOB graphic is stretched in the sidebar and a fun header would make the blog more inviting.

And I have a new gig! I joined the b5Media team today as the blogger for the Weary Parent blog. Come over and say hi - better yet, if you have kids that fall into the teen or tween age group, subscribe and join me on my daily journey into raising tweens and teens.

Char, thanks for the blog tip. It was a nice surprise having my blended family blog featured. Being in a blended family is truly the most difficult struggle I’ve ever faced. And I have faced many of them. It’s been such a joy to team up with other step moms even if it’s just for the support.

Hi Char, Thanks for the tip! What a pleasant surprise! ‘m redoing my header and home page… I’m hopeless in fixing scripts and for whatever reason, some posts are causing problems to the side bar… and I deleted some comments accidentally! Do drop by more often!
