I am taking advantage of using the first day of February to talk about our February blogging challenge. Last year, Angie suggested the idea of blogging every day during the month of February. February was chosen because it was the shortest month (although it ended up being a day longer because it was Leap Year). Ten bloggers initially took up the challenge and three more joined in mid-month. Although it was a little stressful coming up with a post every day, especially on days when I stayed late at work and when work was crazy and I came home exhausted, I am so glad I joined the group. I made some really good friends by joining the challenge. And if blogging every day in February was not enough, we ended up continuing blogging every day in the month of March, with more bloggers joining in the fun.
This year, Annie brought up the idea to blog again every day during the month of February. Twenty-three, Twenty-five, Twenty-six bloggers are now taking up the challenge. I am looking forward to reconnecting with some bloggers and getting to know other bloggers. Thank you Annie for starting this challenge!!
Thank you Kim for making this very cool logo!! You will see it on the sidebar of many of the bloggers below.

Happy February! I can't believe a year has gone by since the last time we did this. Hope this year is just as much fun.

I must get in touch with Kim and see if I can get that logo too, I see it on everyone else's site but don't have it yet myself. Also want to make a widget listing the participants, but...maybe won't carried away with grandiose plans, will at least try to get the logo up for now!
