Lynnette Kraft - Dancing Barefoot on Weathered Ground: I Have a Brilliant Idea! (Getting to Know YOU!)

Sunday, March 1, 2009

I Have a Brilliant Idea! (Getting to Know YOU!)

Okay, here's the deal. If you're here, you probably have a blog - although I know that some of you who visit me don't and you're JUST as special to me! :)

Well, most bloggers like to have friends. It's more fun to write when somebody is reading, right? Sometimes we stumble upon a blog and we say, "Where have you been all of my blogging life!" I do that sometimes too. So, here's what I'd like to do so that you can get some new visitors to check you out and you and the rest of us can find some new blogging chums that we will decide we can't live without.

1. Leave a comment telling me your main blog address and what your blog theme/style is - do you write about your family or do devotional type blogs or quirky fun topics - decorating, traveling, recipes, all of the above?

**Change - we won't do this anymore. ~~2. Then in the comment tell me 5 of your favorite blogs. You don’t have to tell me why you like them – we’ll go and find out ourselves!~~

2. Then, last but not least *Don't forget this step -Put the Getting to Know YOU button on your side-bar (more participants means more visitors for you!) *Optional: Create a blog post (or add to another blog post) telling your blogging friends you're participating in Getting to know YOU and tell them where to join in (which of course would be here!). The more people that participate, the more visitors you get!

**Every Monday AND Friday, I'll randomly feature a blogger! I'll link to YOU and tell about YOU and YOUR blog That way, you'll get more visitors! I won't tell you I'm coming (don't you love surprises!) - so keep your blog updated and interesting!

**A little secret** If you're a faithful commenter (on featured blogs), you'll have a better chance of being featured because I read ALL the comments on the featured blogs and I'll remember you better if I see you there often. :)

MONTHLY PRIZE!!! AND starting in July, I'll be hosting a monthly giveaway - EVERY TIME YOU COMMENT ON THE FEATURED BLOGS THROUGH THE MONTH, YOU'LL BE PUT INTO A DRAWING FOR A SURPRISE GIFT (or two) - Just a little ~~bribery~~ motivation for you to make the featured bloggers' surprise visit extra special. (*Make sure you comment on the most recent post of the blog so that I will be sure to see it - and say you're visiting from "Lynnette's Blog" or "Getting to know you" or something so I'll spot you as one of my chums - okay?)

Now, doesn't this sound like GREAT FUN! If it doesn’t make sense, I’ll be here to answer any questions okay? (lynnette(at)lynnettekraft.com)

My 3 year old, Eli, has Cerebral Palsy and is severely disabled.
I throw in a little random stuff once in a while, too. It started to keep my family in touch...and I've grown to have a few followers. It's so much fun! Thanks for this opportunity! I'd love for more people to know my beautiful son that God has trusted me to take care of while I'm on this earth.

And, now, here are 5 blogs I love:

"Adair Flair" said...: Our blog is a "family blog" that is mostly my way of recording the positive things that happen in my life. Adair Flair refers to my husband's endearing term for the way that I like to add a little "flair" to everything that I do. I share recipes on my recipe blog that is located on the side bar of my blog, fun craft ideas, positive events that happen in our family, inspirational quotes, my journey through infertility, and some fun, quirky posts that are very girl friendly! :)

Kristin said...: Oh my goodness....how do I describe what my blog is about?

I am a stay-at-home Mommy of 3 precious girls. I love to post pictures of them and brag on their accomplishments! I love to talk about God's plan, as I have seen His work in action in my life, through my own adoption story. And while I know that God's plan is perfect, I am a daughter who struggles with losing her Mom at a young age and trying to overcome her grief. I also talk alot about my journey in yearning to become a strong, Christian woman and to be all that God has created me to be. Blogging is my therapy and you all, my sweet friends, mean more to me than you will ever know!!

It's The Little Things... said...: Hi there,
My blog just started this past December after the unexpected loss of our third child via late miscarriage. I needed an outlet and so began my journey of healing through writing. It also shares my journey to faith. The greatest lesson I learned through our loss was the way to GOD. Without this loss, I fear I may never have been where I am today. I also write about my two living children. How blessed I am to see their smiling faces each day and NO MOMENT however crazy is ever not treasured.

Melissa Irwin said...: Hi...and what a GREAT idea.

My blog definitely reveals my inability to focus... http://www.untilthejasperwalls.blogspot.com It was supposed to be a chronicle of my kids lives, including one precious angel with Down syndrome...and instead it is about my faith, family, womanhood, sister-friends, kids, and more recently, about my missions to Africa and the Dominican Republic. It's everywhere...and I like it like that!

Kelly @ The Beauty of Sufficient Grace said...: Thanks so much for doing this, Lynette. It's a great idea!
Our blog is about our family's journey and the daily sufficient grace God has blessed us with as He makes beauty from ashes in our lives...healing our grief and restoring our joy. We share about our Faith, Grace and Thomas who are in heaven and our two boys Timothy and James who are with us on this earth. We also share a great deal about Sufficient Grace Ministries, our ministry for parents who have lost a baby or child. This ministry also reaches out to all women...even those who have not lost a baby with articles that are relevant and meant to encourage today's Christian women. There are devotional posts, posts offering comfort and hope to the bereaved, family/memory posts and Sufficient Grace Ministry updates.

My blog is about our adoption to Korea that we just began because God has placed it on our hearts. It's also about my family and the crazy beautifulness of motherhood. I am starting a Friday Fitness N Health because I am passionate about treating our bodies like temples because God is within us.

I also share occasional recipes, ideas for preschool-age homeschooling, book reviews, and other tidbits. I hope you will join me in my journey!

beccad said...: I have 2 blogs the first is our family blog (www.harberclan.blogspot.com) that I started to just show pictures of the kiddos and share our fun and crazy life with friends and family. Then it turned into a prayer support and a place for updates when our daughter was diagnosed with Craniosynostosis. She had to undergo surgery at 8 months old to repair the fused plates in her skull. I then started another blog (www.beccasbows.blogspot.com) to be able to make some money and have a place to showcase my bows and whatever else I'm feeling crafty enough to make.

I write 2 blogs: erin's artsy crafty side, which is where I post about my projects, and other crafty-type things; and all about erin, which is where I post about everything else. Both blogs feature plenty of photos of my cats being adorable.

Mostly I talk about and show pictures of our family's current events and I try to give God the glory in recognition that it all comes from Him. He has blessed us so abundantly through infertility and adoption that somehow I hope others will be blessed, encouraged and drawn closer to Him through our story.

Sarah Robbins said...: Hi Lynette!
I finally found the time to do my comment, even though I have had the button up for awhile.

I am a newly married, desert dwelling believer. I blog about my life, my family, my faith and whatever else might tickle my fancy! I frequently post on what I am reading, both in my Bible and books. I also often post on my various craft and decorating projects, current events, children and of course- my most amazing husband.

Some of my favorite blogs are:

biblicalwomanhood.com
moneysavingmom.com
manzvillecanada.blogspot.com/
girltalk.blogs.com
tammysrecipes.com/

Thanks for hosting this fun new event!; March 12, 2009 5:32 PM

Paula and Skip said...: Hi, it is a brilliant idea even when I cant participate. I started blogging 2 months ago when I arrived here in this country to be with the love of my life, I he is American, I am German and we used to live in Spain, conversing in Spanish only I now blog to improve my English, about our story, and often about my integration, my culture shock... By now the blog has become a sort of therapy and I just wanted to tell you what a fab idea you had for your friends.; March 13, 2009 4:17 PM
nutmeg said...: I have just started on this blogging journey & am still finding my way. I am not really a writer but I definitely have a need to express myself. I am not sure that I have found a style yet. So far it is a bit like a journal. But it is very much a work in progress as I tend to learn as I go.

Patricia said...: I am new to the blogging world. I started my blog to encourage caregivers. I am still developing my style and exploring how much I want to diversify with this blog.

The blogs I am following now are:

writingcanvas said...: (ooops! Can you delete my previous one above?!?!?!)

My blog began after the death of my 16 year old son, and is our grieving and healing journey to finding joy in the morning. It's about our family, book reviews, and several meme's including one I moderate, called In Other Words, sharing on Christian quotes. I invite you to visit! :)

Here are my top favorite blogs:

1. First Ann @ A Holy Experience -
http://www.aholyexperience.com
She is always so encouraging and such a dear person. You will find she does not have a comment section - she wants the reward coming from God - not her readers!
http://www.aholyexperience.com

2. Sue @ How's Luke -
http://howsluke.blogspot.com
This is the very first blog I ever read - and Sue and I have become dear friends over the past 4+ years. We both went through tragedies, though different around the same time. Her little boy nearly drowned, and it's their story of recovery, and their new normal.

3. Pat @ Caregiving & Beyond -
http://caregivingandbeyond.blogspot.com
Pat is a personal friend, and I saw how she cared for her husband over many years as he was dying. She just began her blog and I would love for her to be recognized as we all can learn so much from her.

4. Heather @ Especially Heather -
http://especiallyheather.com/
When I think I have it tough - Heather reminds me with her honesty, faith and dark valley walks, that I can keep going. Heather is fighting cancer and she has a daughter who has had open heart surgery.

5. Amy @ Amy's Humble Musings -
http://humblemusings.com/about/
I met Amy when we were both blogging for ClubMom. She is a "real" person, and shares from her heart - the ups and downs along with the funnies and not-so-funnies. She's a mom of 6.

Holly said...: I have 2 blogs. One is Haas Family Blessings (http://haasfamilyblessings.blogspot.com), which I write about our family life. My other blog is Caring for Carleigh (http://carleighmckenna.blogspot.com). This blog journals my journey with our precious daughter, who has anencephaly. It talks about my feelings, events, and shares the generosity of others. I created it to help me remember and to help others who may be on the same journey as me or who have recently received some other fatal prenatal diagnosis. I want to show that there is hope when so many say there isn't.

DeeDee said...: Lynnette,
My blog is "mostly" about my life and my family. I hope to be transparent. I hope to be encouragement. I hope to be real...

But above all... I hope that "the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart are acceptable in Thy Sight, Oh Lord, my strength and my Redeemer."

I have this year added "Tuesdays Together in the Word". We are reading Scripture together (posted on my sidebar) and then linking together and posting a nugget from that week's devotions.

Also, my son is a soldier - and about to deploy AGAIN. Certainly, that will be a frequent topic on my posts.

My first four favorite blogs are from my family (I have all of them blogging now:)

http://halwarren.blogspot.com/

http://adventuresofjulia.blogspot.com/

http://knucklehead47.blogspot.com/

http://jendee783.blogspot.com/

And this is a good friend:

Of course there are MANY more - so it was hard to list just five :)
Thank you for hosting this - it should be fun... and with all of the post that you have... You have your work cut out for you LOL
Sweet Blessings,
DeeDee
P.S. Since today is Tuesday ... my blog post will go up tomorrow :); March 17, 2009 2:39 PM

Meredith said...: My blog currently shares a little of everything, photos, family, funnies. It is my personal blog and was started in an effort to share, encourage, and glorify God and his Word. Some recent and future topics would include deployments and infertility. I am also the mother of a one year old.

I am new to blogging, so to pick 5 faves is hard, as I am still in "Bloggy Euphoria" ....

And I don't know how to paste the button correctly (yet), but I will get someone to show me!:)

Sometimes I add in info about websites that I've found and think would be worthwhile for other moms to check out. I have a fitness blog which is about my Beachbody business, but Kitchen Table Parenting is what I would like promoted here!

Raye Ann @ Heart of the Home said...: My blog is about the heart of the home the woman, wife, mother, etc. and what should be the center of her heart our Messiah and King Jesus Christ. It is a fairly new blog where I want to cover all issues about being a woman, from Biblical Submission, to cooking, sewing, and all the practical things of being a homemaker. I also want to cover child training, babywearing, and homeschooling. Most importantly I want to cover the woman's daily walk with our Messiah.

At this time most of my post are responses to two online Proverbs 31 bible studies.

I have a list of far more than 5 blogs on the left side of my blog. Since I can only list 5 here I will list the ones that are truly speaking to me at this time.

1. "Aspiring Homemaker" is written by a young woman named Mia who is the type of young woman I wish I had been way back then.
http://aspiring-homemaker.blogspot.com/

2. Is by a friend whom I met through the Radical Debt Elimination Yahoo group. Her blog "BIG FAMILY, SMALL INCOME, NO PROBLEM" is a journal of there families journey from debt to finical freedom.
http://www.bigfamilysmallincome.blogspot.com/

3. Is one of the blogs by Sunny Shell. I have found her post on "A Damsel No Longer in Distress" to be a true inspiration.
http://jesusrulzme.blogspot.com/

4. Sherry the mother of 14 at "Large Family Mothering" is the mother I want to be.
http://ladyofvirtue.blogspot.com/

5. For this last blog I will go with Sunny Shell's other blog "A Wife's Biblical Submission" This is a topic near and dear to my heart.
http://biblicalsubmission.blogspot.com/

Blessings Always

We have a caringbridge site: www.caringbridge.org/visit/cripe
It mainly is about our daughter's journey who has developmental delays, apraxia, seizure disorder, and sensory integration disorder. It also has my journey of dealing with stage IV liver cancer with mets and the trials and tribulations of dealing with an illness and special needs child. It also is to give others some inspiration on other issues in our lives, like miscarriages and successful pregnancies/births, type I diabetes x 34yrs (my husband), lupus, and to let others know they are not alone. I guess you could state our site is a garden variety of life's journeys!

Even though, I know, you didn't know I was missing. I don't remember if I ever commented on your blog, but I have been a lurker I know, for sure.

Anyway - my blog is appropriately titled : My Ramblings. That is exactly what it is. My thoughts and concerns and quick vents and things are dealt with in my life as single mother of a three year old daughter. I work. I play. I love. I live. And somewhere in there, I find time to blog. When I grow up (I am 28 yrs old already) I would love to have a FOOD BLOG!!!! Someday...Someday....

September said...: Lynnette,

I am a "late blogging bloomer!" I hesitate to do things like this because I am not always sure I am going to do this correctly. I am giving this a try.

My blog is simple, and defining of what a day in my life holds. I started my blog to journal memories for my children, but have found that I end up sharing my heart and my daily thoughts.
My blog also carries the hope of the Lord to those who have a burden they are carrying. I write about the loss of our babies, and God's incredible sustaining strength.

I would like to share some teaching ideas that would help students - research about what usually works and what does not work. I like recipes and making stuff - so I might talk about that - I have been talking about all the neat giveaways that I have found on peoples pages. Some of my favorites are:

Jaclyn said...: I'm not really sure that I have a blogging "style" per say...I really just blog to remember stuff...kind of like a journal. Most of what I blog about includes infertility, my recent miscarriage, shopping (shoes or clothing), and other day-to-day life events.

Mama J said...: Well, I have a new blog on Blogger. I used to keep a running blog on another site, but recently started one here. I don't really have a specific blogging style. I have three children a husband, and I am a full time student, so I mostly just journal things about our lives. I love to brag on my kids. It's also easier for my family to keep track of us. :)

For some reason, Lynette, I THOUGHT I was already on here!!! Like, months ago! I've been visiting as many of your featured blogs as I can and I have found some dear friends in the process (thank you, thank you) but I did think I had already commented.

Maybe my comment didn't post??
Who knows.

Well, here goes again ^_^

The tag line of my blog is "making His heart my home" and that is what I truly desire to do, to crawl up inside the heart of God. I blog about loving Jesus, loving my husband, and loving my three absolutely beautiful kids.

drahdrah said...: My blog is about my family, and our life, that right now is in transition. My 10 month old daughter and I live in Canada with my 74 year old terminally ill mother, and we take care of her. (I say we, because I take care of her physical needs, and Baby J always manages to put a smile on her face). Unfortunately, my husband currently lives in the Carribean and cannot be with us right now. We are hoping he will be able to join us in the coming months.

I have found so many great blogs just going through these comments! Yay!

My blog? Hmm....it's been a long awaited passion of mine to have a place to "write" my stuff down. Blogging has allowed me to do that.
I'm married to a minister and a mom of 3 teenagers. I write family stuff, devotional type posts, current event biz, recipes and even what I'm struggling with at times. It's just my take on life.....and in that I try my best to honor God with what I say.

Megan said...: What a good idea. My blog began as a way to keep family and friends updated on my husband and my journey through medical school (not me! him.). After 3 years of infertility, I decided to share it with those I loved. Until that point, no one even knew we had been trying. It has been amazing to experience the love and prayers of our readers as we travel through this journey. I still update readers on our life, but I also post things that God has shown me through our journey of infertility, work, etc.

Megan said...: What a great idea! I began my blog, originally, as a way to keep my friends and family updated as my husband and I began our life together as he went through medical school. However, after three years of infertility, I decided to share it with my readers. Until this time, no one even knew we were trying. It was then that I introduced us as "Party of Two...praying for more." The love and prayers from my readers has been overwhelming. The blog world is such a great way to reach out to others! I also share whatever the Lord is teaching me through our journey.

Kim said...: My blog documents our homeschooling adventures, my walk with God, the funny things my kids do and many pictures. It's a little bit of everything... basically whatever I feel like posting at the moment or whatever God lays upon my heart. I love blog surfing and I think blogs are the greatest thing since sliced bread! I love exploring new ones and laughing, praying and crying alongside others, as I read of their adventures as they journey through life.

Christy said...: My name is Christy and my blog is called www.mccauleykids.blogspot.com. I mostly love writing about raising my three beautiful children and living in Montana. I am pretty new to the blogging as I just started mine in May. I feel like I have discovered a whole new world - it so much fun! Of course, I love reading mckmama's blog, but I also really enjoy these ones:

Coloradolady said...: What a fun idea! I love it, this will be a lot of fun to find new blogs to read!

My blog features a Vintage Thingies Thursday meme, lots of vintage goodies here. Some tutorials, recipes, family, and my two dachshunds shake things up a bit. My love for vintage, mountains, cooking and home is the theme for my blog.

I enjoy the following blogs:

Shop with Me Mama said...: What a wonderful idea! My blog/website (I have both connected into one :) is about my life as a Mommy of two BUSY babies. I talk about my life, my funny mishaps and my not so funny moments. I have Mommy Made things (from other Mom's) on my site, so we can support the SAHM and buy from them. I also have a forum (though not many have posted there yet..). I guess you could call my blog/website a "mixed bag" :) I also do product reviews and host many contests!

Lucky Ladybug: http://theluckyladybug.org/
