THE BLOG CHALLENGE

Last year Brittani ran across the Blog Every Day In May challenge, and together we decided to try it.  I didn't do great at it, but it did get me blogging about things other than my family.  I loved it.  So I found some blog prompts and decided that I would do it again.  One of the best things about it was reading what others wrote...so come and do it with me!  Let's get our creative juices flowing!  It's hard for me to find time to blog on weekends, so other than tomorrow (because it is Groundhog Day and I found an awesome prompt for it) I skipped them.  But do whatever you want.  There are no rules.  Skip days, change the prompts, make up your own, anything goes!  Just have fun!
