Mothers and Daughters Blog Carnival

Filed under Read These!
We moms face many issues as we travel on the journey of motherhood. As a mom of three girls, I’ve found that raising girls has it’s own unique set of joys and challenges, and it’s fair share of DRAMA!! I looked for a blog carnival catering specifically to mothers and daughters, and I couldn’t find one. This is not to say that it doesn’t exist, I just couldn’t find it. So I decided to start a new one. (What is a blog carnival?)
The qualifications for participating in this carnival are simple. Are you a:
- mother of a daughter?
- daughter of a mother?
This carnival is for you!! You may write on any topic dealing with being a mother (of girls) or a daughter. The parameters are very wide for the beginning. It can be humorous, serious, spiritual, down-to-earth. It’s up to you. I would simply be thrilled if you would participate!
Here is what to do:
- Write a post on your own blog, or reuse an old post
- Paste the code for the button (below) anywhere in your post, or link to this post in your article.
- Submit your article with the Blog Carnival Submission Form containing your post title and URL, by every other Saturday at 5 PM EST
Here is what I will do:
- post the Carnival on every other Monday, with links to your wonderful articles!
- be forever indebted to you and become a loyal reader of your blog!
Email me at singforhim94(at)yahoo(dot)com if you are interested in hosting, or have any questions.

This is a great idea. I will definitely work on a post and have it ready by Saturday. Thanks for hosting a carnival. Way to go for the Blogging Olympics.
I like having a creative idea for a post, gives me something to work toward.
P.S. I found your blog through Blog Top Sites (thought you might be interested to know).

Having only sons, I refuse to be left out! So thanks for including daughters of mothers…you clever little thing.
Honestly, I have committed my self (and many would agree I should be committed) to two articles other than my blog by this Saturday. If I don’t get in on your carnival this week, count me in for next week.
Great idea!

I really thought of you, Melody, when I added the “daughter clause,” and I hoped you’d participate! Yay.
[Reply]
Such a great idea! I have been out of my blog rhythm lately so I will try to think of one of these to post!
Blessings!

Love this idea, I’ll try to have something ready – I’ve got a few girls of my own I can write about all day long!

Great idea! Found you through the “Slurping Life” blog. I e mailed you, but even if my post doesn’t work, glad I found your blog!

I feel tremendously blessed to have been sent your blog link by such a sweet friend of mine. You are a true blessing to those of us whose faith guides us as we make our way through motherhood.

Came over at the suggestion of Melody at Slurping Life. I’m in! Goodness knows I’ve had my share of daughter drama this week. But I think I’ll share a feel good post instead!

Great idea! Before I knew about this I had posted earlier today about something my daughter and I do together called “GWIT” I am working on a series on my blog about training girls to be Godly Girls, so count me it!!
Fun, fun, fun, can’t wait to read the others.

I’d love to be included- what a great idea!

Also came by on Melody’s say-so (Slurping Life)and would love to be involved but have missed this deadline. Will work on something for next time and will look forward to reading the articles.
[Reply]
How fun! I would love to join in but I am a bit confused, I think I missed it?
[Reply]
Jennifer, I’m not sure how to contact you. Technically, the deadline is past, but I’m going to add a Mr. Linky so you can still sign up through Tuesday.
