Please allow me to introduce you...

I’ve blogged for several years now. I had another blog prior to this one but I kept it private and only invited close friends and family to read it. The host site went through several rounds of “upgrades” (not) so I stopped using it and gave up blogging for about a year.

But I missed it. I love to write and blogging is such a good way to stay in touch with our family and friends who are scattered all over the country. So, I jumped back on the blogging bandwagon and have enjoyed writing again. I decided to leave my blog “semi-open” to other readers and as a result I have “met” many other interesting bloggers. Most of them are Christian moms with lives and values similar to my own.



I thought it would be fun to introduce to you, my faithful readers, some of these blogging friends. I won’t waste your time telling you about my “famous” blogger friends – you know, The Pioneer Woman and such, because you’ve probably already met them. And, they’re already famous and don’t need my smattering of publicity. And you can link to them from my side bar.



First, allow me to shamelessly plug my Prince Charming’s blog: Reel Fun Saltwater Fishing. He is, after all, my very best friend.





I’m sure not many of my female readers are going to be too interested in Bud's saltwater fishing reports and pictures. But, maybe some of you can use his blog as an example when your man wants to know what the big deal is about blogging. I’m sure most men will enjoy Bud’s blog much more than mine!



Next, I’d like to introduce Steph over at “For the Love of Sam”. If you’ve been reading my blog for any amount of time at all, you’re probably already familiar with Steph. She’s been my BFA&F since the first day of 9th grade. I’ve blogged about her before and wrote about her visit this past spring. She’s new to blogging but boy oh boy can she give those “famous” bloggers a run for their money. She makes me laugh like no one else can and she has a heart for God, her hubby, and her kids – all SIX of them! Steph and hubby, Sam, live the reality version of The Brady Bunch! Go visit her. You’ll like her, too!



One more introduction for today…



The web makes the world seem a little smaller. So much so that it is as if Prairie Chick over at Prairie Prologue lives just outside of my suburban community. But she doesn’t. She lives all the way up in Canada! This is a picture she posted recently of herself on her wedding day. She and her husband were married in Italy. Isn’t she beautiful? Prairie Chick is beautiful on the inside, too! I love to read about her life as a wife and mother and a lover of our Lord. Her writing is so open and real that I feel as if I’ve peaked through a window of her heart every time I read her blog. She always shares the joys in her life but never hesitates to chat about her frustrations and struggles, too. That’s not always easy to do, you know? It’s much more fun to “pretty up” the situations in our life and write a humorous post. Prairie Chick asks deep questions that make me examine my heart. She’s honest and real. I like that.



I hope you’ve enjoyed meeting some of my blogging friends. Go visit their blogs and tell them Dawn sent you. I’ll introduce you to some more of my blogging friends in future posts.
