If you would like to start your day with a little help from above, then you need to stop by the Ang4him blog. Angela is the blog owner and her faith in God and her love for Him is very inspiring.
On her blog, Angela discusses different sections of the Bible and explains what the stories mean. It can be challenging trying to figure out what exactly is being said in the Bible so this would be a great way to start your day! You could even use Ang4him as a devotional tool!
Angela also mixes in some personal life stuff and to me this is what makes a great blog. I like to actually read about the person where I feel that I know who they are.
Stop on over and show her some support!
If you would like to have me talk about your blog, please leave me a comment here or you can email me! The only thing that I ask in return is that you create a post on your blog once it’s been talked about here and link back to your post on this blog!
Bev over at Easy Crafts 4 Fun has an awesome site where you can learn about making some really cool crafts. I love crafts, I am just not that creative to come up with my own original crafting ideas. If I can copy from someone else, and if I have detailed, step-by-step instructions, I am good. I need a "Crafting for Dummies" type book I guess!
Bev has this really neat Baggie Butterfly craft that I’m going to try and have my son and his little "girlfriend" make when she comes to play next week (see picture to the left!). It looks simple enough even for me! I think the kids will love it.
On a more serious note, today Bev is honoring a one-day blog silence for the victims of Virginia Tech. She is asking everyone to post the banner below to show support to those who tragically lost their lives.

I am really enjoying getting a chance to do these website reviews. It is neat to see all of the different ideas people come up with for blogs and how talented they are!
What? Banana Stains! Mom’s New World! is an online Canadian resource site for parents that features children’s products. If there is anything you need for your kids, she will be able to tell you where to get it! If you are in need of children’s clothing, toys, music and other children’s products, Banana Stains will lead you in the right direction.
Kim also offers product reviews on many products, so you get some feedback on items you are not sure of.
Being a parent is a hard job - very rewarding but still it is hard. Kim has a post where you can offer any type of management tips to other parents - whether it be time management or money management.
Kim is doing a great job on her blog and let’s show her some link love! Stop over, comment and tell her hey!

Longaberger pottery is absolutely wonderful to bake in! I love it! I never would buy it before because I always thought it was too expensive, but once I did purchase my first piece, I have never went back!
I have found the pottery to clean up very easily, regardless of what I bake in it, and it looks nice, too!
If you are ever interested in any Longaberger pottery, please email me and I can put you in touch with a great rep!
I have been wanting to do some website reviews in order to meet some new Internet friends, to help increase the page rank of this blog and to help others with their page rank in the process. So I offered to do some website reviews. In exchange, I am asking the reviewees to post a link back to this blog after I have blogged about their blog.
If you would like me to talk about your blog, you can email me. I will write posts on each blog in the order I receive the requests!
Now my idea of "reviews" is probably different than what a lot of bloggers would consider a review. I do not feel that I am experienced enough to critique other blogs, but I do like to read all kinds of blogs and all kinds of information. Variety is the spice of life!
My first response came from the Work At Home Mom Revolution blog. The owner of this blog works from home as a transcriptionist and seems to enjoy what she does. What I like about her blog and her descriptions of work-at-home opportunities is that she is honest and explains all the angles of working from home and being an independent contractor.
She also talks about herself and everyday life things on her blog and these are the types of blogs that draw me back again. Blogs that have a main niche are good, but I personally like to read about the author, what they are doing today, what they like and don’t like.
Stop on over and check out the Work At Home Mom Revolution! You’ll be glad you did!
I was browsing over at WAHM.com today and found on the bloggers board a post by a blogger who has a Disney for Families and More site!
I was thrilled! What better timing than two days before we leave for Disney! This site provides articles, reviews and tips for families who are vacationing in Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
So before you take off on your trip to Disney, and while you are planning your trip, show Susan some link love and visit her site!
