If you have been on a field trip with your child, whether with school or because you home school...Share!

I think it's time to give the guy bloggers some recognition. I think they are the underdogs here, and the under read!

So, while you're out there checking out blogs, take note of the guy bloggers. If you find any good ones, leave a comment!

I JUST found this one:

Sorry I haven't been as attentive as I should be here- if you read my other blog, Working in my jammies and lovin' it you know I spend alot of time in doctors offices. Then , I need to play catch-up with work, house stuff & blogs.

This past week has been no exception. My 11 yr. old has Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. Besides the normal trip to the arthritis doctor she had strep throat this week, so she had to go to her pediatrician. I had an appt. with my podiatrist today. So with that and really buckling down with work (trying to hit a promotion before convention in July), well I've been a little ...ummm...missing. Sorry!

Anyway, one thing I have learned about us bloggers is we love to give stuff away AND we love to win stuff. So with that said, I figured from now until June 15th, we'll list all the give-aways we find.

So, if you have a give-away, let us know in the comments, and I'll list them here on the blog.

Hey, you never know- I won a cake plate and some Finish brand dish washer tablet thing-a-majigies!

Prize List:

Working in my jammies and lovin' it (Me) Hop on over to my website to enter to win the book, "First Aid For Babies and Children Fast.

Ok, and don't forget our friend Mr. Linky- if you haven't already put your link, why not do it now?

One way to get your blog "noticed" is to go to other blogs! Visit them, read them and leave comments! When you leave comments, your username becomes a link that others can click , which will take them to your blog. One thing bloggers love is other blogs, so there is a good chance if you are getting out there & leaving comments, someone will check out your blog.

If you are new to blogging, you are probably wondering where to get blogs to read? There are several ways to do this. One way is to google it. If you are a stay-at-home mom looking for blogs from other SAHM's, just google "blogs & stay at home moms" and you will get more than you could ever read in a life time. I suggest taking a few blogs, reading them, and then look at the sidebar of those blogs for a list of links that the author reads (like we did when I started this blog). Before you know it, you are well on your way.

Here are a few sites to check out to help get your blog noticed.

http://buzzerhut.com/

http://www.momblognetwork.com/

http://www.bloggingzoom.com/

http://www.blogcatalog.com/

Don't forget to participate in the Virtual Girls Night Out on Friday nights. Check it out- you leave your link on Mr. Linky, then visit (or try to) visit all the other links there.

Does anyone know of other blog parties or sites to share blogs?

For next week, let's look for the best cooking/food blog- yum, yum!

Don't forget, if you haven't added your link to Mr. Linky yet, you should now!

The writer Jana has a lot of followers already, but I really laugh out loud at her entries. She is definately worthy of being included in your "funny blog" list.

And finally- found this very funny post the other day:
