I love the way she does picture/artist studies. I am going to be starting them with my own children this fall, mostly because of this Good Idea.

For the Inspirational Category

Besides the delightful tickle CentralianJen's Aussie accent gives my American ears, I truly appreciate her thoughtful commentary.

"The Washing-Up Window" is my favorite of hers... so far! :)

I'd have to say that inspirational goes to Missy Gray's blog. I sometimes can barely sign up here without thinking of Missy's family.

And funny? That's Jenig! :D

I want to nominate my mom.

She has a story about herself at 35 and how my little brother came to be.
It would be an Inspirational entry. The entry is The Story of Life and Not Death. There is also a little entry she did on my sister and her bedroom wall. It is called My Daughter's Heroes. It won the Mix-Pix Award from Margie and is posted on a site dedicated to our soldiers.
Mom's blog is www.homeschoolblogger.com/im4given
thanks, kal

Inspirational vote

It's so hard to pick! And actually, it's a series that gets my vote. Melkhi at Our Side of the Mountain has been posting letters from her grandma that are beautiful and definitely inspirational. Her grandmother's sweetness and great faith shines through each post.

Here's the link: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/melkhi/Letters+from+Grandma/
