NaBloPoMo

November was NaBloPoMo - National Blog Posting Month. A campaign organized by Blogher, bloggers go the month of November and write a post every single day. You can read an article HERE about the purpose behind the campaign and what bloggers get out of it.

I heard about NaBloPoMo last November when Creating Our Joy, a blog I designed and have been following for several years (since before Violet came home) started doing this. Kerri is a mom to "Violet", adopted from Ethiopia, and "Blueberry", adopted from Guatemala. Last year her NaBloPoMo posts circled around adoption, and this year on purging. You can read one of here posts HERE. I have a lot of respect for Kerri, the author, and hope I have a family like hers one day. What I really appreciated about this was all that I learned about adoption- how her daughters deal with questions that come up, how she talks to them about it, what her thoughts are on the corruption that exists within the adoption world. I will adopt my kids one day, and found this so valuable.

Thus, I knew I wanted to take part as well. November was a crazy month with We Days and the travel that goes along with that, but the forth and final We Day of the season is comlete, so now that I have more time, I want to dedicate my blog posts in December to NaBloPoMo.

Today begins my month-long blogging campaign. I haven't been blogging too much lately, so please feel free to comment and share posts to keep me going :) I am going to focus on the theme of special needs, as this has been on my heart lately and something I feel strongly about.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's post!

This post is one in a December series of National Blog Posting Month, where I am advocating for children with special needs. To make a difference in the life of someone living with special needs, check out THIS POST.
