Mothers and Daughters Blog Carnival

Welcome to this edition of the Mothers and Daughters Blog Carnival. We will be taking a vacation for the next scheduled carnival on December 24, so the carnival will start back up bright and early in 2008. Submit your posts by December 31st, to be posted on Tuesday, January 1.

Let's do a theme for next time: Mother/Daughter Goals for 2008. Your goals can be practical, emotional, or spiritual, and focus on becoming a better daughter or mother to girls.

The Editor's Pick for this week is a mom who put a totally creative spin on a common holiday challenge: The Holiday Portraits.
