Related: do me a quick favor?
If you have a blog of your own, or a Tumblr or some other platform where you share things with the public (including a public FB page), would you share the link in the comments here? Even if you know I already know the link. š (Other readers here may not.) I’d love to make sure none of my blog-friends are slipping through the cracks of my feed reader. Ever since I switched over to Feedly, I feel like something’s missing—even though I imported from Google Reader and all my subscriptions should be intact.
Feel free to tell us a little something about you and your site. But no pressure! I hereby declare Bonny Glen a certified Pressure-Free Zone.
Updated to add: your comments will probably get held up in moderation because of the links. Don’t worry if they don’t show up right away; just means I need to move them out of pending.

Lissa … my blog is tied to my website (which is primarily for my knitting stuff) but I also write on homeschooling and family stuff …. http://www.marygildersleeve.com/blog
I also have Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mary.gildersleeve.9
and Twitter (which I rarely use): twitter.com/MaryGknits
and LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/mcgildersleeve
There. Now you should feel more “in”!
Sending hugs and congrats on the bevy of books you’ve got out … loved Prairie Thief!

I’m happy to declare myself. I’ve been reading your blogs for years, since before your trip west, since Wonderboy was small. I’m so inspired by it, the homeschooling, the writing and reading, everything!
My blog is on-again off-again, nowadays mostly little stories I want to remember. I’m girding up my courage to write more openly about my thought life, as I used to when I started the blog.

I”m happy to share as well. I came to your site when we were on the Cybils Graphic Novels panel together. Though the bonny glen didn’t end up having as many GN reviews as I had expected, I just love it. Thanks for sharing your life and insights!

My name is Dell, and my blog is: PrairieFrog Blog http://prairiefrogs.wordpress.com/
It’s just a little family blog, and has been quite lately. I blog about homeschooling, family life, adoption, d-i-y health stuff, and just a hodgepodge–it’s not monetized or well targeted to a single demographic, just a slice of our quirky life. I’d love to have people hop on by and maybe it will motivate me to get out of the blogging slump and get posting again!
I can’t remember when or how I first found your blog (It was Bonny Glen at the time), but I’ve been enjoying your posts for more than a decade.

I started reading your blog before you moved to California. Many thanks to you for introducing us to Journey North. We have 5 years of a JN homeschool co-op under our belt. My 16 yo son blogs about cars at http://unmuffled.wordpress.com/. I think so many years spent reading your blog inspired me to suggest blogging to him!
On a separate note, could you send me a link to your homeschool blog? My computer was stolen today š and I had never put your blog through a reader, but just kept the tab open and typed the password. Needless -to- say, now I can’t! Thank you.

Blogging these days mostly about books, poetry, what works in our homeschool, writing, books (did I mention that already?), how weird it is to have a daughter in college and a daughter who’s a senior, and to know that next year I’ll be homeschooling just Ramona ….
Did I mention that I like to blog about books?

I’ve missed you, Lissa, but haven’t quite figured out if you are mostly blogging now at the newer homeschooling blog or if life has just been busy elsewhere!
I’ve just moved my longtime Bower to my new Rosehip Bower at http://lesleyaustin.com/blog
and will continue to post there about life, tho’ the slant is from that of a no-longer-homeschooling-or-caregiving woman in a large, lovely, sometimes too-empty house figuring out this part of the journey.

Melissa Wiley says:
I’ve been posting at the homeschooling blog two or three times a week, usually just quick updates about what we’ve done/read that day, but sometimes longer ones like this week’s geocaching notes. I continue to waffle over whether or not what I’m writing there could or should go here. š The quick daily notes sometimes feel reductive, since they sum up a day largely by a list of high-tide readings and such, and of course the day is so much fuller and richer than that. And yet I do find the quick list useful as a shorthand record of our readings. (Albeit an incomplete one! I can’t begin to keep up with everything the kids are reading.)
At any rate, you (and all reading here) are welcome over there too! Feel free to ping me for the login info, anytime!
Thanks for sharing all these wonderful links, everyone.

I don’t know if I count, but since I’m reading this I guess I sort of do: I blog at http://rockinlibrarian.livejournal.com though I’ve been avoiding it lately because of Too Many Other Things to Do (and yet, I STILL waste so much time online). It’s mostly just whatever (and whenever) I feel like saying something to the (theoretical) public that’s longer than a Tweet (or FB)– which is usually either something very philosophical, library/book related, or occasionally fannish. I DO have a Tumblr but it’s mostly just reblogging and commenting. My FB is generally friends-only, but I think you already follow me on Twitter.
I found you, since other people are saying that, originally on GeekMom, and then it was neat to see how many Kidlitosphere contacts/followings/etc we had in common, too.

Hello Melissa, I’m a fairly new reader here; been spending bit of free time catching up on all your ‘Tidal Homeschooling’ posts. Plus I told my daughter that a homeschooling mom writes some of her newest favorite books so you might get some page views from her as well.
You can find me at http://thisaintthelyceum.org where I try to write humorously about everything I’m not doing well: mothering, getting dressed, cleaning, teaching, chauffeuring, crafts, etc.

I too suffer from Google Reader-related issues. What a lovely invitation to share links! I’ve been reading what you write ever since we became GeekMom colleagues.
On my author blog http://lauragraceweldon.com/blog-2/ I write about homeschooling and learning, creative living, poetry, and other things that fascinate me.
On our farm blog http://bitofearthfarm.wordpress.com/ I occasionally post updates about our rural existence which have recently included the saga of a goose in love with my Honda and what cows like to do with leftover Jack-o-Lanterns.
On my Free Range Learning facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Free-Range-Learning/144797732198536?ref=hl I share way too many inspiring links, silly photos, and marginally relevant videos that have to do with learning and parenting.
On my Subversive Cooking facebook https://www.facebook.com/SubversiveCooking?ref=hl page I share some food drollery, often vintage images.

I’ve enjoyed seeing various other bloggers I “know” (at least one in real life-hi Jamie!) here. Melissa, I’m so grateful for Bonny Glen, your writing. and I’m still sad we were never able to have you as a virtual guest at the girls book group we hosted at our house many years ago. I blog at http://readingcatholic.com . It’s a mix of a books column/page I write for the local Catholic newspaper, and various other topics when I get the chance.

What a marvelous collection of links. Sometimes it pays to inexplicably miss a post for an entire week – now I have lots of happy blog-browsing to do this weekend!

I do appreciate that you put “don’t be shy” in imperative voice right there in the tags, but it’s not really the kind of thing you can just *choose* not to be, you know? Or the world would be a different place for a whole lot of us, I’d say. And I wouldn’t be the absolute last person at the party. (Or the first person to leave.)
At any rate, I have a little blog over at http://www.mother-bird.com that I love sometimes and hate sometimes and write on sometmes about homeschool and sewing and kids and gardening, and oh, trying to stay sane amid it all. And I also appreciate your site and your homeschool hand-holding and your joie de vivre as well. When I think the phrase “we’re all in it together” you’re one of the folks in it with me.
