Blogging. What is it all about? For some it is a journal of their life, for others it is to represent a cause, and for some it is just a way to connect borders to make the world a bit smaller. There are many reasons to blog.
I get hooked on reading other's blogs when they seem like good wholesome people just sharing their life as is. They have a passion about life, whether it is a hobby or children or health issues. I have always enjoyed learning more about people, than people learning more about me. To sit in a coffee shop and ask all the "W"'s of life (Who, What, When, Where, Why) makes me happy. I have always thought I'd like the interview job of Donahue, or for those that don't know who that is, Oprah. Digging deep, love it! Finding what makes some one passionate about a topic, love it. Searching for the uniqueness and their own story, love it!
So that is why I fall daily into this group of ladies blogs. The mom and all the sisters blog and I enjoy reading about their life, as is. The blog author of Always Wanted Four has an online homemade gift shop. The items are rather neat. Monies generated then purchase Father Frost gifts for a certain orphanage in Russia at Christmastime. Her fourth child was lovingly adopted at an older age, and seeing first hand the "lack of" spurred this generous woman into action. A great website about her daily life and about her giving.
Requesting donations of handmade gifts, and advertising her store ... I felt inclined to spread the word. And who knows, maybe you will get addicted to reading her blog and the web of blogs that scatter around her of her Mother and Sisters.
Blogging. For me it is a great avenue in learning about the element of being us.
(And no, I am not bloggin' to get the prize. I already bought the items I prefer).

Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement on my how to help a family with a medical emergency that lands them in I.C.U. post. It was a tough post to write, as it took me back to those really hard days, and it is really really encouraging to think that other people can benefit from all we learned.
Thanks for writing this! I hope you will enjoy the cups! And, of course, you'll have to be entered in the drawing. Rules are rules. :)
That was such a thoughtful post. I was just reading along, enjoying it, and then I realized you were talking about my sister and I guess me too since I'm the sister of the sister... :) Which cups did you buy? There was one that I made that I really was not happy with, but someone bought it, so someone liked it. I hope you bought the cute ones. My sister has had me busy painting for her. I told her she had to help me. She promised not to complain and say she hated the stuff she was making. lol. We'll see about that! She does a great job, she's just way too critical of her own work.
