Nice to have you!

I hope this will become a place where we gain a little blog recognition, give kudos to other bloggers and have a little fun.

Fun things to do with your blog:

Get involved in the fun. If you look around, you can find ways to gain exposure everywhere. Check out other blogs, and get involved with blogging activities like Virtual Girls Night Out over at Ann's blog on Friday Nights, Wordless Wednesday or Friday Fragments over at Half Past Kissin' Time.

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

LET'S BLOG-HOP!



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:

Being Michaels Daddy: http://www.beingmichaelsdaddy.com/

Check it out.

A cool blog: Daddee Yah! It has some really great pics (you'all know we LOVE them!) So go CHECK IT OUT! Give some bloggy love to the guys!

I love this blog- Cake Blast. Larry, the blog owner, has tons of give aways going on. I entered several for a new vacuum!

Stefen, Over at Dad Today has some great pics on his blog

Found another one! And I get to meet this wonderful guy soon- he belongs to my network marketing group. Check out his fundraiser at JoshShear.com

Mike at Free Samples Without Survey's has tons of freebies! We LOVE Free!

Check out Otin over at Wizard of Otin- powerful story on 11/13. Check it out!

Eve suggested: Scotty Graham's Photo Blog

Scotty has a photoblog where he posts a photo every day - and every day his photo is astounding!

Gladys suggested these two:

Wizard of otin (recommended for the second time!) and

VE's Fantastical Nonsense - funny guy!

This guys needs a little blog love- go give him some:

Ok, guys, keep 'em coming. Don't know what happened, but was on this blog last night & everything was fine. Went on this morning and this page w/ the prizes was gone.

I went to the dashboard and it was in "draft" mode- maybe I forgot to publish it last night after adding content and that's what happened. But have no fear, we are back!

Susan Campbell Cross said...

I am loving this VGNO thing! I really like your site--some very informative and fun stuff. I am now officially a "follower". :)

Hey, see that weird question mark over my blog button? Yeah, well, that was my mistake with the coding. Blech. But i figured it out and fixed it. So if you want, I can send you the correct code or you can just pop by and pick it up off my blog. Sorry about that... not so techy!

I'm stopping by today from VGNO, so late that I'm almost embarrassed to admit it! But things have been pretty crazy around here in the last week with all the holiday prep, school party stuff and of course my DUCKS winning last week! ROSE BOWL! I think I'm recovered & back to normal! Have a great weekend! I'll probably be back around soon for tonight's VGNO!
