Camping for Tuesday and Rock'n around the perfect tree

In recent months I might have turned into a total nut case if not for this lovely blogging community I've become addicted to had the honor to become a part of. I just love it. So now I'm going to jump up and down, pointing at a few of you who knocked my socks off this week (please picture that, but remember I don't jump very high anymore, and if I have to point at the same time as I jump, it would look pretty ridiculous because I'm so not coordinated.)

But I digress. We were talking about YOU:

Brooke at Life in the Sagebrush allowed her children to totally take charge of decorating the Christmas tree. All by themselves, just as they wanted to do it. (I think it turned out great.) I love it when Moms set aside how they'd like to do things and allow their children to create great Christmas memories. Brooke, you rock! Go check her out. If there were a "nicest person in all of blog land" award, she'd be in the running, I'm sure of it.

Because of Asher's recent medicalness (that's totally a word), I'm finding myself more and more touched by families struggling with chronic illness. So my attention was immediately grabbed and my heart skipped a beat over the amazing thing going on over at just like camping.

Please take a moment of your time and go camping...er, I mean, go over to just like camping (I LOVE this blog) and comment on the most recent post. T h a i t r a i t and her husband Boo Radley (wouldn't that be great if those were their real names?) are donating money to a little girl named Tuesday who's fighting cancer. For every comment left, there's a little more help for Tuesday and her family. That's all you have to do to help, just comment. Easy peasy. (And if I go check tomorrow and none of my blog friends have commented I'll probably flop down on the floor and kick and scream and who wants that, so you should just do it.)

More than anything, Tuesday's family could use your thoughts and prayers. They have a long road of procedures ahead. To read Tuesday's story, you can check out her mom's blog, go blog yourself. (But first go to just like camping (click on just like camping above, in red letters), there's a link to go blog yourself from there. So you can make your comment and then go read more about Tuesday (I explain too much.))

I have to drive this point home: These blogs are excellent. Have I ever steered you wrong?
Totally worth your time.

As you've probably guessed, these three blogs (and the people behind them) are who I'm honoring this week by telling them they rock. So here you are ladies:

Here's the deal with the big black circle:
-The purpose of the Moms Rock button is to give Moms some needed recognition for the loving things they do, big or small.
-When I give it to someone, I don't expect them to do much of anything.
-But if they feel compelled, they can put the button in their sidebar and pass it on to another Mom whenever they'd like.
-There really are no actual rules.

(the code is in my sidebar under the Moms Rock button.)

And remember, you DON'T have to receive the button to give it to someone. You know, grab the code and share the love and stuff.

Now get out of here and go tell these people they rock. Because they do. Happy weekend!
