This is a tough one… I’m a big fan of anything local- and kid-related (duh!), but I’m especially interested in posts about kids with mixed heritages and making the most of their cultural backgrounds.
Oh, and congrats on heading to BlogHer!!!
I love your blog and wouldn’t change anything about it except to add my site in your blogroll! I’m adding yours now and apologize for how long it has taken me! So glad we are both going to BlogHer!
Woo HOO! Yay for you – so happy you’ll be able to go to BlogHer.
I don’t think I’d change anything either! I love your site! It’s fun to read what you post.
Oh, I do love the email subscription option. That helps those of us who can’t remember to visit sites all the time
You rock, and there’s nothing you need to change. Just be you! As long as you enjoy your blog, no need to change it.
i will be at blogher too–i’ll be the nervous one trying to figure out how everything works.
i liked reading that you are a perfectionist too. i am up this late because i was working on a project that i wanted to be absolutely perfect…
oh, I’m so exciting you’ll be coming to BlogHer, and even more so that you got a sponsor!!! Need a room? I still haven’t found a roomie yet.
As for you blog, I love hearing stories about how your kids interact with each other. Having an only (though not for long, haha), I don’t get to witness any sibling interaction or developing relationships.
Hey! What would I like to see on the blog…. mmmm. I don’t know. I’m trying to come up with good constructive criticism, but the coffee hasn’t kicked in yet. Maybe more about different problem solving techniques you have with your kids? That’s something I’ve been struggling with a lot lately. For example, what do you do when both (or more) kids want the same thing? What if the item in question actually belongs to child A, but Child Z was playing with it first and everything was fine, until Child A noticed and then, because he’s a little turd sometime, Child A took it just to piss off Child Z. (Not that this has happened of course…) The item belongs to Child A, and he has a right to his own things. But the only reason he wanted it was to prevent Child Z from having it. This happens a lot, and nothing I’ve tried works, everyone ends up in timeout and crying some how. Anyhoo, that wasn’t the point, the point, was that I’d like to hear how you manage the day the day issues of having multiple children that aren’t ALWAYS perfect angels (I’ll give you often, but not always on the perfect angel thing… if it was always I might have to stop liking you.
)
Congrats on finding a sponsor!
I LIKE YOUR BLOG, OF COURSE LOVE THE REVIEWS. I THINK THEY ARE VERY HELPFUL!
I can’t use the GC, but I really LOL at Octoberkate’s A & Z story. Happens here too, where child N will take from child A, even if it’s not child N’s.
Congrats on a sponsor!
Congrats on going to BlogHer! That’s so exciting! I’m so jealous.
I’d love to hear more about ways you incorporate your husband’s and your heritage into your family.
you also blog at dc metro moms!
Can’t wait to see you at blogher!
Here is something about you and your blog: you are clever enough to get a sponsor for BlogHer. Good for you! I am thrilled that you are going! Can’t wait to see you there! Maybe we’ll finally get a chance to chat for a couple of minutes.
Hi – I like the fact that some of the topics you write about make me feel like I’m not the only one feeling a certain way like your time with BabyMuffin. Thank you!
Jae
I’d like to see you write some posts about how to get sponsored for blogger conferences! Congrats and see u in the Windy City!
So glad you are going! What I like most about your blog is your header. Besides being DARLING, it’s pink. And I love me some pink.
First, I’m jealous you managed to go out and find a sponsor! Good for you! That’s awesome!!!
My only feedback? Same thing we all need to do — write more! LOL! If only we had all the time in the world to write and write and write! I enjoy your writing, so I want more of it! So hard to do when you have little ones who want, oh I don’t know, attention, food, um… MOMMY! LOL!
Keep up the great work! (And tell me how you got Giant to sponsor you!)
Hoooray!!!!!!! So happy you’re going, and I cannot wait to whoop it up with you in Chicago!!
SO fun to see you last night, too!
ps–my advice? Don’t change a thing!
I like reading about the kids and more of the ‘meta’ mom stuff – I think you cover a great range of topics I enjoy.
you live near me! (the dc area, that is!)
great contest and I look forward to meeting you at Blogher!

I like your blog the way it is:) You talk from your heart and you are honest, that is why we all can relate to you. Keep up the honesty and talking about real things that touch our lives and that we are passionate about:)
I like the clean, simple look of your blog. And I love your Rainy Afternoon photo- that’s a classic!
