As always, some great reading.
Any info on why the main Blog Carnival site is down? Or for how long it will be done?
That would be “how long it will be DOWN.”
Need coffee.
I don’t know what is up with the main blog carnival site – I have been trying to get in since Saturday and haven’t been able to. I did let Sheila know, but haven’t heard from her.
That’s why I didn’t list who was hosting next – because I couldn’t check. If that person shows up here and wants to say so, please do!
Wow! Great list. Thanks for including the Traveling Mamas post! …And any carnival that has a contribution by Sheila S., is a worthy one indeed.
