Polk County Mom Bloggers

Recently, my local paper, The Ledger, published an article about local mom blogs. I thought I'd take the chance to share them with you here. Not all of these local bloggers were featured in the Ledger article, but they are all worthy of your time. If you are local and know of any other blogging mommas out there, let me know and I'll add them to the list!

The Dearie's Not So Dailies - My friend Amy always has something cute or funny to share on her personal blog, and on her crafting blog (Dearie Designs) she always inspires me to start cutting up paper and gluing it to all sorts of things. She really does have some of the best scrapbooking paper I've ever seen. You will be blessed by either blog.

Rogers Family Update - A family-focused blog that features her 3 littles, including stories about how the rules change when Grandma is in town, creating space for a kid's play room, and her cute New Year's tradition with her babies.

A Flower In The Rain - She's a slow poster, but her daughter Madi is adorable and this mom blogger is a Buzz Mama for Mabel's Labels. I'm a little jealous. ;)

Eat, Drink, & Be Jesus - Ida's blog is a favorite of mine because she is real and because every Monday she posts a lists of things she is grateful for. She is also passionate about all the right things - Bound4Life and Haiti just to name two. She even inspired me to find my inner painter to create the pieces I blogged about here.

Uncharted Waters by Mommy Melee - Current blog topics include the process of getting occupational therapy for her son and watching her children grow up and move on.

Your Mama Reviews by Mommy Melle - a product review site focusing on all sorts of budget friendly products that are useful for families.

2 Boys + 1 Girl = One Crazy Mom -  This mom tries to bring her readers "savings for kids along with meals, snack ideas, craft ideas and anything you may need to know about raising a happy healthy child."



Mom to 3 Busy Boys -  This is the go to site for moms who want to know about free or inexpensive events in and around Lakeland. I always check it a few days before the weekend to see if there are any can't miss events going on.

Polk Penny Pinching -  After experiencing financial trouble when her husband became unemployed in 2009, she turned to the web to learn how to save money locally, and her blog was born! She shares mystery shopping tips, where to find free stuff in Polk County for your birthday, and the coupons that pop on a daily basis to save us all money at the grocery store.

The Way It Is - Want to see 4 cute boys get into some mischievous stuff?  I feel as if I don't need to raise any boys of my own to know what it must be like because Kristen keeps it real.

Ramblings from the Sunshine State - Wendy shares deals, crafts, giveaways, and stories about her kids in this cute mom blog. Make sure you check out her right side bar to see all of the other places on the internet she's been featured.

Publix Coupon Queen - Polk County is where Publix is headquartered so it is only natural that we have a lot of deal bloggers around. But my friend Meagan does more than share grocery store deals, she also posts crafts for kids, helpful homeschool links, and lots of dessert recipes!

I am sure I missed someone! I just hope it isn't someone I know. Oh, and I would have posted more buttons, but only one mama blogger had one I could find!

If you are local and know of any other blogging mommas out there, let me know and I'll add them to the list!

Giveaway: Bake Me A Wish

Image
This giveaway is closed. When I came home from running errands recently, I saw a big box sitting on my doorstep. As I got closer, the anticipation built and then I realized it was a Vanilla Bean Cake from Bake Me A Wish! Woo hoo! This was a review I knew my husband would enjoy participating in. The Vanilla Bean cake from Bake Me a Wish! came packed in a cooler and ice pack because it is perishable. It took self control, but I put it in the fridge straight away and waited patiently for my husband to come home so we could celebrate life. When we finally got to sample the cake, I put some candles on it so Charlotte could practice blowing them out. We are slowly getting ready for the big day of her birthday party and have never put candles on a cake for her before. As I was enjoying my slice of the Vanilla Bean Cake, Bruce and I brainstormed when this type of cake service might be useful. And here is the list we came up with: When you want a gourmet cake, but don't have acces...

Win Free Cereal

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. I've definitely been on the giveaway wagon recently and am glad to be participating in the Fall Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. For this giveaway, I have FOUR (yes, you read that right - 4 winners!) full-price coupons for a new cereal from General Mills. Per their marketing, this cereal " combines great-tasting chocolatey puffs with vanilla puffs, a classic combination that kids love. Even better, Cocoa Puffs Combos is made with whole grain and is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D." I love cereal. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as a snack in between all of those. I am particularly fond of Lucky Charms. The crunchy combined with the sweet marshmallows gets me every time. All you have to do to enter is tell me what your favorite cereal is and leave some way for me to contact you, either through a blog or e-mail. This giveaway is open to US residents only (because I don't think t...

Note to Self

Image
This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. Warning: Since I typically have a family-friendly blog, I want to let my readers know that this post is not safe for little eyes. Have you ever sat down with a new friend and found you stayed up way too late talking about every subject under the sun? Discussing religion, careers, and yes, even sex, even though you've only known each other for a very short period of time? That is what it was like for me to read Note to Self - On Keeping a Journal and Other Dangerous Pursuits , by Samara O'Shea. Once I started it, I felt like Samara and I were just hanging out on my couch, sipping decaf lattes and having a conversation. (Okay, Samara might be sipping something harder, but I'm still nursing.) It was that easy to read. The basic premise of her newest book is teaching people how to write in a journal, by sharing her own journal entries. Personally, she wrote for therapy, sharing "A journal is an effecti...
