I cannot believe it’s already the middle of October. And here in Florida, it’s still in the mid-90s most days! It definitely doesn’t feel like fall. Yet, many stores around here already have their Christmas sections up. Unbelievable.
Anyway, I wanted to take the time to share with you some recent and upcoming events going on in the blogging community.
Article Republished
- My post on Latino terms of endearment and cultural differences has been republished at MyBrownBaby. Denene has shared my post with her readers and I’m so glad that there’s so many out there that can relate.
ModernMami part of Community Site Warming Party
- This Friday, there will be a #community site warming twitter party hosted by the queen of twitter parties, Amy from Resourceful Mommy. You can RSVP for the party here and join us on Friday night as my site is one of the blogs featured!
Tastemaker Challenge
- The U.S. Potato Board has partnered with nine bloggers, who have officially been deemed the “Tastemaker” Challengers. And guess what? I’m one of them! You can read all the details here, but just know that I’ll be playing Iron Chef a bit. Only thing is, we already know the secret ingredient…potatoes! Follow the conversation on twitter with hashtag #tastemaker.
Got any news to share yourself? Go ahead and let us know in the comments. I’d love to hear about it.
And don’t forget to join the twitter party this Friday! See you there.

Congrats on the tastemaker thing, that looks like a lot of fun. A combination of Iron Chef and Chopped, two of my favorite cooking shows. The seafood month tie in thing sounds interesting. This is the first time I actually know some of the bloggers in one of these events, so good luck!
