Pay It Forward Blogfest

Late to the party on this, as usual... Wait. That's not true. Normally I am FIRST to the party. It's my FOMS. I just really prefer to already be cocktailed and comfortable when everyone arrives so I can assess what's up...

But this month has been CHAOS for me, so I didn't see this until yesterday... thankfully, it is not only a GREAT IDEA, hosted by the fabulous Matt, it is also EASY to carry out!

What?  I can hug who I want...
So let's start with a group hug, eh?

Okay... now onto business...

The idea? Pay it Forward!

Look at your blogger buddies... who do you think deserves a little more love from your readers and followers? It is largely to promote newer, or less followed blogs, but it could also just be blogs you are absolutely insane for...



The Quiddity of Delusions by Mark Nicholls: Mark's HYSTERICAL (in a dry, often bizarre way) but I always laugh. He and I have been friends for ages, but I think his blog deserves a lot of new traffic...


Losing Sanity by Johanna Garth: Johanna is one of my ABNA friends and lives in my favorite city, but also has GREAT blog posts ranging from writing, to life, to mothering. She is a recovering lawyer, so super-smart... Go see. You'll be glad.


Christine Murray: I believe this friendship formed in one of the blogger crusades... pretty sure it was last spring, anyway, but Christine has a great mix of writing and life, too, plus is a pretty reliable source for what's 'out there' (good for people like me who don't pay much attention)


Frictional Fiction by Stacy Gail: Stacy is my long-time friend, and NEW to blogging. Her build is slow, as she's a once-a-weeker, but her posts are both funny and helpful at once... remember, this is the only person I admit is more nuts than me...

Isn't he gorgeous?
And FINALLY... you've all heard about my Couch to Keg plan, yes? My fabulous neighbors who are getting fit with me? Well Oliver's person started a blog JUST this WEEK! (and she took this pic of Joel)

Grapes of Goodness by Jackie S. is going to include wine tasting, healthy eating, navigating dating as a later twenty-something, job searching... basically all the stuff a person in that transitional life phase of becoming who one will be...


So PLEASE, check out these blogs I love... follow... leave a comment... and then go to the list and check out what the OTHER blogfesters are recommending.

    I'll be honest. I had a really hard time concentrating on today's topic with all those beautiful male backsides facing my way. Guess we all know how to keep CQG distracted easily...:) Thanks for these links!

    Love the picture. I am a little late, the story of my life, but I am visiting from Friday's PIF blogfest. Now I am off to check out, Frictional fiction. With a name like that how could I pass it by.

    Nice to meet you
