Say It Forward - Week 1

I just love this new carnival 5 Minutes For Mom is hosting each week. For me, receiving comments and leaving comments is one of the very best aspects of blogging. It is how I've made some truly incredible friendships over the past year!

I always intend to reciprocate the comments left on my blog, but it just doesn't always happen. I visit, or read in reader, but I don't always have the time to comment as much as I would like. So from now on, I will be participating in Say It Forward each week. I love the idea of highlighting everyone who comments!

This week, I'd like to spotlight Jennifer from The Extreme Housewife. Jennifer leaves me the nicest, most encouraging comments at least a few times a week. In fact, her comments were what originally spurred me to start Cooking During Stolen Moments.

Jennifer is a devoted wife and mom of two little children, a boy and a girl. She runs her own Etsy shop as way to help bring in a little extra income. Her blog is a wonderful variety of her daily life. Here are a few of Jennifer's recent posts that I've really enjoyed.

• Do I Stress Too Much? Oh how I relate to this!
• Why I Want To Homeschool Such a great post with well-thought-out reasons. Jennifer will be (and already is!) A great homeschooling mom.
• Want To Help Me Donate A Breast Pump I love this idea and I think Jennifer's really onto something with her plans here.

Now go pay a visit to Jennifer and spend some time explore her site and her Etsy shop.

And thanks Jennifer, for being such a supportive and encouraging friend.
