We have a winner! The winner of the family 4-pack to the Disney on Ice 100 Years of Magic performance at US Bank Arena in Cincinnati is our long-time reader Kathy Reichard! Congrats Kathy!
This weekend for your reading pleasure, I wanted to link to some great things I’ve read this week in the blogosphere. First, Melissa at Rock and Drool has a guest post by her BFF Lori who is battling Ovarian Cancer. READ IT!!!! September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, as Emily posted a few days ago. This cause is so important to our family. Please go read Lori’s story and learn learn LEARN about this disease. It is soooo important to learn the signs.
Another September staple is “back-to-school” or “first day of school” posts. I have really enjoyed them as well. What can I say, I am a sucker for a picture of a cute kid in a backpack!! But this school-themed post by my pal Momo, a letter to one of her teachers, made me misty in a different kind of way. It’s a must-read. And after you read it, a must-write.
And on the subject of teachers, my good friend Cortney has a great “Ask the Teacher” feature on her blog every Tuesday. But this week she did a special Saturday version so go check it out and comment or email her with your questions.
Cortney will tell you like it is without judging you or your kid in the process, and you don’t even have to schedule a conference with her! Beautiful!
Enjoy!
thank you for linking to that post. lori has an important story to tell. thank you!!
Thanks, Jenny! I hope that post inspires people to write their former teachers. I sent Mr. Cole a link to it he sent me the nicest e-mail. He was so happy to hear he had made a real difference to someone.
I swear the only time I ever win anything is on your blog!!! THANK YOU!
