Worth Mentioning - Some Great Blog Posts

I love reading your blog posts. I've learned a lot about different things, and I'm so grateful for that.

I love blogging. The relationships I've made, the content I've come across, the good people that I've seen out there? It reaffirms my belief that there are more good people in the world than bad.

I've read some amazing posts over the past few weeks, and although I'm not highlighting all of them, I want to at least mention a few.

My friend who writes at The Gray Matters is currently accepting donations for an extremely worthy cause. She's an exceptionally kind and warm-hearted person that pretty much has the same sense of humor as me.

I was taken aback when I read this question from Chelsea at Life Unpublished:
What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail? The question really makes you think. Go read her post to see how she answers.

A fellow teacher, Caitlin works in a low-income district. Like me, her students receive free lunch and she spends her own money to pay for school supplies. She's currently accepting donations through donorschoose.org to help pay for school supplies. I've had donations made in my honor through the organization and what a blessing it is to have people help support education.

Jilly at Hi It's Jilly posted some very helpful info regarding storm preparedness. Lots of links and ideas to stay ready! I used the post to help prepare for Hurricane Sandy.

Mandy at Mommy Musings made a fantastic list of ways to be prepared for the storm, in list form. My type of girl. She mentioned things I wouldn't even have thought of! It's starred in my reader.

Nikki at From a Miss to a Mrs. shares her journey, and shows her strength, in battling something that may prevent her from being a Mommy. I know it took a lot of courage to share the story.

Another blogger who has turned into a good friend is also named Nikki. She lives in my homestate of Jersey and is showing the devastation from Sandy. She has a link in her post for you to donate to the Red Cross, if you're so inclined.

Another blogger friend that lives in Jersey is Kimberly. Her post is heart-wrenching. The pictures of my childhood playgrounds absolutely destroyed makes Sandy seem even more real, if that's possible.

And, to not totally depress you ... One of the funniest blog posts I've read in a while comes from Amanda at Everyday B and B. Her take on labor and such is hilarious.
