The Sewing Mom

It’s so nice to be back home!  I had a fabulous time with my mom and sisters and my niece’s college graduation with her nursing degree was wonderful, a very proud moment for all of us.

It’s certainly nice to be home though and I am trying to play catch up with my computer.  With over 400 emails waiting for me, I spent the better part of my morning, in between doing laundry, I’ve cut it down to about 150.  Now I’m looking at my blogs, trying to respond to comments that were left while I was gone.  I apologize if I miss anyone, I’m trying!

I’m also playing sincere catch up with Entrecard, I was unable to drop on anyone since last Tuesday and I apologize for that.  Now I’m back though and I’m dropping right now!  Let me know if I miss you.

I wanted to post a brief note here to apologize to all of my readers and EC droppers.  I am currently visiting my sister and her family in order to attend my niece’s graduation from nursing school.  My sister has internet access, but it is dial up and extremely slow.  I also want to spend my time visiting and not on the computer (it took 10 minutes for my blog to load) and so will more than likely not be dropping card or responding to comments until I return home on Monday.

I hope you all have a great week and wonderful weekend.

A while back I did an interview with “5 Minutes for Mom” and the interview has now been published. I’m really quite honored by this and I certainly hope you will take a look. I’m not a person of many words, but it might give you some insight into how I came to the blogging world and why I enjoy it so much.

I’ve only been blogging since last July, and I have said it before and I’m saying it now, I am totally addicted. My husband and daughter will attest to this, my name is Lynne and I have a problem.

I was surfing through blogs this evening and I couldn’t believe that I found the cutest little guy to go in my sidebar showing me as a member of the Blogoholics Anonymous club. If you want your own, visit Livin’ With Me! to get your very own copy and join the club, we are not alone!

I am relatively new to the world of blogging and in the 7 months I’ve been blogging, I feel like I’ve learned something new each and every day that I’ve signed on to my computer. I’ve learned that there are hundreds of thousands of bloggers out there which means that there are hundreds of thousands of blogs for readers to choose from. Subject matter covers everything from ballroom dancing to how to blog and everything in between. As with anything I do in my life, I like to know that my blogs are successful and success to me means that readers find what I have to say interesting. Now there is a great tool to help me know where my blogs stand in the world of all other blogs.

This piece javascript is used only to collect actual traffic data. you can also choose to display a button on your website that will reflect your page views and number of visitors, or just your real rank (RR).

As an added incentive, IzeaRanks.com is giving away $1000 every week during the month of February to the blog with the #1 Real Rank that week. By the way, your Real Rank is an average over a 7 day period. So even if you have one bad day, your RR won’t be affected.
