I love blog surfing. I like seeing what backgrounds people have (and where they came from). I like looking at other people's pictures and reading their posts simply to find out what they think is blog worthy. And I like to look for ideas for my own blog.
The other day I stumbled upon Emilie's blog and loved it! The design is awesome, her posts are witty and the wording for some of her "gadgets" is really creative (so I borrowed a few of them :-) She was also giving away a "hip, funky and downright wicked mix CD" of one-hit-wonders from the 80's to 3 people of her choosing (from people who left a comment). So I left a comment mentioning that I had stumbled upon her blog and that I loved "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler. And Emilie chose me as one of the winners!! I was thrilled to say the least!!
But I was even more thrilled when I was showing Bobby her blog yesterday evening and there was a post about my blog. My blog!! Here I am blog surfing, looking for inspiration for my blog and I ended up inspiring someone else. She liked my Letters to Hannah & Letters to Samuel idea and has decided to do the same for her own children. I was so honored and excited. I love writing letters for my sweet babies on their own blogs and I'm glad other moms want to do the same. Personally it's so much easier than keeping up with a baby book or journal. And frankly, I'm terrible at getting my pictures printed out for baby books. So much happens in one day and they are growing at warp speed that I just want to remember as much as I can. I just sit down and upload my pictures while I quickly type up their letters. Fast, fun, easy.
Anyway, I just want to say thank you Emilie for picking me out of 40 something "entries" and THANK YOU for writing such a sweet post about my blog. I will forever be a follower of Emilie.
