It’s been a while since I’ve posted some links. It’s not because I haven’t read any good blogs lately. Quite the opposite, in fact. Let’s just say, I’ve been busy. Also, I’m not very good at keeping my thoughts organized enough to actually get all of them in one place so that I can post them, and then I forget which ones I wanted to post, and, well, you get the picture. Anyway, here are some good ones that I’ve come across in the past 2 weeks or so. Hope you like ’em!
The first is kind of a plug for a friend of mine. Technically, she’s my subordinate, but I don’t like that word. Let’s just say that we work together. And I’m her boss. Like, the best boss EVER! Anyway, she started writing her own blog to keep in touch with her friends and family back east. It’s the Greider Gauge, and you should read it.
Next, is a blog that I don’t read regularly (though I might start). I ran across it while reading Whiskey In My Sippy Cup and it made me cry. So go grab your tissues, and read this heartbreaking story. And then go hug your kids. And if you don’t have kids, find some, and hug them, and then hug their parents and tell them to go read it.
Remodeling This Life talks about autumn in a place where the leaves don’t change colors. She’s in Florida (I think), but the pictures she shows are very similar to what autumn looks like here in California. Except we have a lovely tree right outside of our window that changed to a beautiful red, so I didn’t really miss autumn that much. I definitely don’t miss the smell of rotting leaves….blech!
Rocks In My Dryer discusses the many uses for a dishwasher. My personal trick is that I fill a coffee cup about half full of vinegar, and put it on the top rack. It totally gets rid of all the white powdery crap my eco-friendly dishwasher soap leaves behind! On a different note, I recently started using vinegar to clean EVERYTHING. The only drawback is that I constantly crave salt and vinegar potato chips.
At Blogging Away Debt, she talks about her new favorite place. We go to this place on at least a monthly basis…it might be more often now that the kids are getting bigger and we are cutting cable. It’s one of my favorite family activities.
So, while that is not nearly all of the great blogs I’ve read this week, it is a pretty good list of the ones that I remembered to remember. I hope you enjoy them!

Thank you for the link!! Autumn is the only time of year that I really miss. I am slowly getting used to the changes in scenery this time of year. And I can’t complain that I can walk to the beach in November 🙂
