You didn’t know you had a Fairy Blog Mother? Of course you do. You may have more than one. You very well may even have a male Fairy Blog Mother. Your Fairy Blog Mothers are those people who first inspired you to begin a blog of your own. Since today is Thank Your Fairy Blog Mother Day (yes, I checked the calendar), I’d like to tell you a little about the ladies that pulled me into this wonderful world of blogging with their lovely words.

I have three:

1) Emzeedotes - This was the very first blog that I ever laid eyes on. My cousin began this blog during her pregnancy and as I slowly began reading it on a daily basis I became hooked. She is a very talented writer, so although I never missed an entry she posted, I did not really see myself beginning a blog of my own at that time. I did not think I would ever have anything that creative to say - or be able to say it as well as she does. Not having done any blog surfing at the time, I just assumed that this was some elite writers club that I was better to just observe and enjoy.

Since I began my blog, she has been the one, real, live person that I can actually chat with about blogging. Our long phone conversations are currently on the tippy-top of my ‘favorite things to do’ list.

On the day my cousin delivered her sweet baby boy (or the day she posted about it) she was chosen as Michele’s site of the day. That is how I came to meet my next Fairy Blog Mother.

2) Michele- As I read all of the comments sent to my cousin by Michele’s readers, I thought…”who the heck is Michele??”. I began reading her blog and many of the others that commented that day and in no time I was craving a blog of my own. I wanted to express myself in this wonderful, new way, with all of these cool & interesting people.

Michele sets such a fine example of charm, eloquence and grace on her blog. She is warm and welcoming and always friendly. I was thrilled to join this new club that I had happened into and I know that I could not have landed on a better doorstep than hers.

3) Short and Sweet- I found Cori’s blog totally by accident. I read that she was a mom of kids around the age of my kids, she lived in an area that I used to live in and she made me smile every time I visited her. I loved her design and the fact that she always lists the exercise that she does each day. With Cori, it was the little personal touches that inspired me. I yearned for a blog where I could add some style and personality of my own.

I also have two Sweetie-Pie I.T. Fairies that I want to thank, Mary and Tammy. Without them, I would not be posting today.

I want to take the time today to express my gratitude to all of these ladies for reaching out to me, making me laugh and introducing me to so many new & interesting people. Most importantly I want to thank them for showing me that we each have something unique and wonderful to say.

I love my blog and truly value so many of the new friendships I have met through blogging. So today, I raise my glass to all of the Fairy Blog Mothers out there, especially to the 3 of my own and say many, many, many thanks.

**Now it’s your turn. Please post your Fairy Blog Mother list on your blog and tell us how they have inspired you. I can’t wait to read all of your lists.
