Lately, when I've been nursing JJ, I've been coming up with all kinds of lists. It's no secret that I love lists. No, I LOVE lists. I should send a valentine to lists. Really. Recently, I've been coming up with lists of things that I love. (And it should go without saying that I love lists about things that I love).
I've already written a few "5 things that I love about..." lists. You can find them here. I like the idea of focusing on what I love about a person, event, role, place etc. I like limiting it to 5 things. That's easy enough.
So I was wondering if a few of you would be interested in joining me in a little weekly blog carnival for "5 things that I love about..."?
It could be anything you love. Being a parent. Being a student. Being single. Being in love. Nova Scotia. Extreme heat. Raising boys. Raising girls. Home-schooling. Not home-schooling. Renovating. Laundry. Ketchup. Stickers**. Rain. Snow. My husband (kidding!). Blogging. Space. Pastoring. Your job. Yourself.
I'd love it if we could all share what we love. Even those of you without blogs could participate in the comments if you'd like.
So, anybody in?
And Heather, Nina, Elizabeth... any tips about Mr. Linky?
(**I'm currently being stickered up by my kids. I do what it takes to be able to communicate with the outside world.)
I think it is a great idea and I'd totally participate! Especially right now with being sick an in a bit of a bloggy slump. I think you should run with it!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, seems like a bit of a challenge. I'm in if you like. Perhaps I can offer a different perspective for the year...
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea Peanut! I'd love to participate in it. Are you going to set the topic each week or is it just random? I love lists...not as much as you...but lists like this can give you an awesome view of your bloggy and non-bloggy friends.

Yay! I'm glad you guys are onboard. If I can get Mr. Linky figured out by Thursday, I'll have a "five things" post up then. (I started cringing at the "edit html" part of the directions)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'll set the topic, because some might find that too limiting. But feel free to copy my topic of the week if you need a little direction.
Can't wait!!
I am a little slow this week. I love your idea and will play for sure next week. I just posted a new post today but I like your idea. It looks like you got Mr. Linky to work. It took me a while to get it working also. Are you keep this on Thursdays? I will make sure I leave a blog spot open next week for this very thing.
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to come up with 5 things I love... shouldn't be too hard.
