October Round-Up: What I Loved on OTHER People's Blogs

Bench, Georgia Photo Walk by Neil Kramer

Welcome to the October edition of my monthly "What I Loved on OTHER People's  Blogs" feature. The place where I share what has caught my eye (and brain, and heart) on the internet over the past month.

As usual, I hope you will find old friends here as well as wonderful new reads.  

Also, as usual, I am featuring many photos from my friend and amazing intstagram photographer  Neil Kramer - of the blog  Citizen of the Month. October was a traveling month for Neil, so besides NYC we get his wonderful and unique view of Georgia as well as LA, his other home.

Enjoy!

Hope you found something new and interesting to read. Or re-discovered an old "friend" of a blog that fell of your reading list.

And if you come across anything in the course of your reading that you think "This is a fantastic thing that is just up Varda's alley, she should read this and feature it in her monthly round-up post!"? Let me know about it via Twitter - @SquashedMom.

  2. Hi Varda. Just found wifi for few minutes so read your blog. We are literally in dark from Sandy and going back into dead zone in a minute, but a big howdy to everyone out there in blog land. I've been AWOL anyway and missing everyone, but now more so, of course. But we have house and health so luckier than many.

  3. Hey, thank you for sharing my post and for your kind words. Now I can go to bed happy and when I pour my morning tea, I'll have a reading list set and a chance to "hear" new voices.

  4. Thank you so much for the shout out. I am a HUGE fan of LTYM (and Ann Imig, too.) When it comes to Atlanta, I am so going to audition. :)
