New

I've been playing with the idea of reformatting this list for a few weeks now.

Thinking that instead of just having it a list (which I personally find valuable, there are lots of great blogs here!), I'd like to feature members' posts that are especially noteworthy.
I'd also like to post with links to great ideas, the occasional call for action regarding political decisions, and anything else relevant to the common ideas of those that link here.

Under the new format, when a member's post is featured here - because it's funny, has a good idea, is interesting, or an Especially Good Day :), I'll leave a comment saying Growing Naturally has featured it and linked to your post.

Currently, there are 44 blogs that are connected here.
A great start for connecting like-minded families!

Hopefully by connecting we can be inspired to create, to love, to enjoy, and to grow.

Blessings!
Stephanie

memo

Forgive me if I get overzealous (read: obnoxious) at the beginning of this project - I'm just really excited about it.
I wanted to share with you a few of the things I've been thinking - plans, if you will.

I'm excited for us (and others) to be linked together. I personally would love to join Urban Homesteaders someday, but I am eons away from that. This group was a nice middle-ground --er, beginning ground, and I thought it would be nice for us to be able to look to eachother (all in one place) for tips and project ideas.
I wanted to share with you a few of the things I've been thinking - plans for the site, if you will.

I thought at first that I would just post a couple of info things, and leave the blog as it was, aside from updating the members, but now I've had a different thought.

I am quite certain that I'll be visiting all of the blogs in this list on a daily basis (since I do, anyway :) ) but I realize that not everyone else will, necessarily.

What I'd like to do I think is when someone writes a particularly great post (whether it be about unschooling/homeschooling, gardening, discoveries in nature, farming, playin' in the mud, whatever) is write a note here to draw attention to it.
For instance, Tara at Heartschooling has a blog about Sustainable Living. She posts new ideas every Sunday. (I'm waiting to hear if we can add it to the list - but no pressure, Tara!)
or
Make sure you visit so-and-so - she made yougurt yesterday, and tells how easy and delicious it was.
Or, :), Shelby the Goat had babies!!!
I'm half kidding about that, but you see what I mean.

So I think that I shall put in posts sometimes, after all.

I don't intend to use this for writing my own stories - I think my two (blogs) have me covered, but just little snippets of everyone else's stories and moments.
Or a mention of a great new find.

If you have any ideas or suggestions for how you would like to see things progress, feel free to speak up.

Thanks, everyone!
Steph
