This week has been crazy, awesome, and exhausting.
I went to New York City to attend the Martha Stewart Show, spent time with an awesome group of Philly bloggers, and rode in a limo for the 1st time. Whitney sure knows how to roll in style!
I was listed on Serene Journey as one of 30 bloggers to watch in 2010. I am thrilled my blog is in the company of Frugal Dad, Small Notebook, and World’s Strongest Librarian, among others. I feel a little like “I’m not worthy,” but clearly Sherri doesn’t agree. I actually credit Rachel from Small Notebook starting me on the path to blogging.
Head over an leave a comment, since Sherri left it open for you to tell her who should be #30. My choice, other than Serene Journey, which I found through Zen Family Habits, is Emily’s amazing, fun, beautiful blog Remodeling This Life.
I’m also over at Consumerism Commentary with my weekly post. This week I wrote, Discounts via Social Media: A Surprising Way to Save. I talked about giveaways (ahem, like mine), contests, discounts, and freebies. One of the most surprising ways to save on twitter is using twitter for customer service, because twitter is such a quick medium you can get instant responses from brands that are monitoring their company on twitter.
A big thanks to Jim from Bargaineering for featuring my giveaway this week!
My Help for Haiti post is also being featured on several sites, including Bloganthropy. To some people the idea of donating this way seems selfish, and I understand that perspective.
I am donating 10¢/comment on my blogiversary post, and all my January ad proceeds. I have also spoken to several bloggers who are going to match my donations. That means I’ll be able to make a much larger donation, simply by being a blogger. I love that.
I hope you have a lovely Sunday.
Kelly
