Some of My Favorite Blogs

One of the best things about blogging 

is "meeting" other bloggers &

enjoying their blogs.

Today I'm sharing five of 

My Favorite Blogs

that you may not know about.

Then, at the end of the post, I've included a chance for

 you to share your favorites too!

1. Your HOMEBASED Mom

I met the adorable Leigh Anne at SNAP last year &

felt an immediate connection with her.

This is the blog I read when I need perspective

about what's really important. This darling girl went to Africa 

to make a difference . . . and stayed!

Here's an excerpt:

“You are right.” He says.

I look up into the shy smile I have grown to love so much. Day 178 of bandaging this wound, and it is almost gone.

Makerere is not one to strike up conversation usually, so I probe. “Right about what?”

“That thing you say. You know. About even bad things being used for our good and all of it working for God’s glory even when we can’t see it. You are right. If I hadn’t been burnt we might not be friends, you know. And If I hadn’t come to live here, I would still be drinking and mostly, I wouldn’t know about that Jesus,” he laughs, “Jesus.”

I focus my gaze back on the bandage to hide the happy tears. I am right, but sometimes, I need reminding.

Do you like to laugh? Me too. 

Trust me, Kerry will "keep you in stitches".

Here's a sample:

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS!

If you read my "Forty-licious" post, you know how I feel about leggings. 

THEY.ARE.NOT.PANTS.

After a heated debate in the "moffice" today, let me clarify my stance.
You may wear leggings under a long shirt. It doesn't matter if the leggings are under a big t-shirt while you snarf cake workout or if they are under a big sweater while you romp through a pumpkin patch. What matters is the shirt. It must be long enough to cover your down there business fanny.
