More Benevolent Bloggers You Ought to Visit on Mother’s Day

Please don’t forget to cruise by here and say “howdy” on May 14th, Mother’s Day. For every commenter who drops in and leaves a comment on my Mother’s Day post, I will be donating $1 to FINCA International. If you ever needed an excellent excuse to de-lurk, here’s a great one, *hint-hint*.

Here are some more wonderful folks whose sites you’ll want to visit as well:

Brandon, the maddeningly talented writer behind One Child Left Behind will be donating to Heifer International for every comment left on his Mother’s Day post. Heifer International seeks to “change the world” by offering people economic means to sustain themselves. To accomplish this, clients are provided with food and income sources via livestock, education, and training. Brandon’s one of those authors who can make me laugh or make me cry. Often he manages to cause both at the same time, which is surprisingly painful, because it hurts to guffaw when you’ve got a big old lump in your throat. In my wildest dreams, I will someday grow up and be able to write like him.

The Soap Blog is written by Heather, who is the proud owner of Eie Flud. She hand crafts her products, all with a level of care that no line-factory produced product can ever be made with. This becomes quite evident after reading even just one of her posts on her blog. The time and consideration she clearly gives each and every item she sells is inspiring. As a reader and a consumer, I can’t help but wish every businessperson were more like her. Heather has long been a staunch supporter of Unique. Unique has a mission “to inform, support and alleviate the isolation of anyone affected by a rare chromosome disorder and to raise public awareness.” I think reading the aims of this organization poignantly demonstrtes how much help and support are needed for those individuals and families affected by rare chromosome disorders. Heather will be promoting Unique on May 14th, and I strongly encourage you to say hello to her, discover her lovely line of fragrant goodies, and learn more about Unique!

Yankee Family goes South may sound like a self-explanitory title, but its about so much more than simply a move. Who knew there could be real estate problems because of diverging accents? Who knew anyone would ever get into their head to not only deep-fat fry a Snickers bar, but to actually serve it others? In a restaraunt. She even covers a hairstyle nearly as horrifying as the dreaded mullet, and certainly more dated than the Dorothy Hamill: the bouffant. Please visit this charming lady to read her stories on Mother’s Day, when she will be supporting Orphan Foundation of America.

That Obscure Object of Desire is a relative new kid on the blogging block, but it’s already off to a fine start. Pretty clothes? Check. Pretty decorating ideas? Check. Pretty toiletries and cosmetic goodies? Check. So many lovely objects, so little time! The author Jennifer will be supporting FINCA International to celebrate Mother’s Day, so please pop in and say hullo!

Mother Hen’s Place is… well, you know, it’s just flat out cozy. The kind of place where you want to pull up a good chair, sit down with a nice cup of tea, and chit-chat with one of the most charming and kind individuals you’d ever get the chance to listen to. Her topics of choice vary from post to post, and even the things she swears aren’t interesting become interesting the way she tells it all. On May 14th she will be supporting Aga Khan Foundation Canada, a non-profit international agency that supports social development programs in Asia and Africa.

Shannon, the author of A Girl’s Gotta Spa, has such a fun enthusiastic way with all manner of self-pampering and girly routines. She’s written some great product suggestions, ranging from those found in the big department stores to those of the very cute line she reps for called Country Bunny Bath & Body. She’s also inspired me with some nifty ideas for making over my own bathroom after seeing the pics of hers.

SmellyBlog is the personal journal of Ayala Sender, the amazingly knowledgable perfumer behind Quinta Essentia. Her practice of natural perfumery is thoroughly rooted in her deep appeciation and love of the natural world. Her blog’s reflections and information about the smells of the world around us are both touching and engrossing. Please stop by and visit her on Mother’s Day, where she will be supporting FINCA International. For one lucky commenter that day, she will be giving away a bottle of Altruism, one of the signature scents she created for Quinta Essentia.

Blogdorf Goodman is THE essential fashion and beauty site for any would-be style maven. As many of its readers have already agreed, “Blogdorf Goodman is better than Allure.” And better than Vogue, too, I might add. Annie’s snarkily hilarious when she disapproves of a product, and sometimes even when she likes it. Her passion for the subject of fashion and beauty is infectious, so please don’t miss out on all the fun there! She will be supporing FINCA International.

The full list (thus far) of participants is viewable at BenevolentBlogging.com.

It’s not too late to participate just yet! Please just send me an email before noon (PST) on Friday, so that I can include you in the full link list I will be sending out to everyone that’s contributing.
