Sounds wonderful, Alice! I always look forward to my new copy of the CWIM and have even hung onto my old copies because I like to reread the articles. Thanks for all you do!

I'm so happy to have found your website – I think it's wonderful! Children-related websites tend to be my favorite, thus it's only fitting that I work for a published children's author who's site is based on her delightful characters from her Danny the Dragon children's book series, complete with contests and plenty of helpful information for families, moms and kids. I think you two should definitely hook up. In fact, she selects other bloggers and sites to recommend to her readers at http://DannyTheDragon.com/blog and http://DannyTheDragon.com. The Danny site is being revamped this weekend. You will love it! Let me know if you'd like to hook up and I'll let her know. Would you be interested in recommending her site? Thank you, Rosie www.DannyTheDragon.com
