I met Mama Kat at the Bloggy Bootcamp in February, when I sat across from her at dinner. Since then, I have wanted to start participating in her weekly Writer’s Workshop.
I love writing this blog, but sometimes I feel like I’m focusing so much on the recipes, photos, and crafts that I don’t do much storytelling.
I started blogging for the storytelling.
The storytelling is going to keep my blogging.
So, I’m going to make more of an effort to participate in Kat’s Writer’s Workshop. Each week, she posts several writing prompts …

We’re going to be smack-dab in the middle of the East Coast blizzard this weekend, so I thought it appropriate to play along with the Blizzard Blog Hop going on right now.

I met so many wonderful people at the Type-A Mom that I can’t possibly name them all, but I’m going to try. I’m also going to link to all of their sites, and I hope you’ll check them out.
I spent most of the weekend with my dear friend, Allie. We …
