And Rightly So

"Raven" is an alias for the creator of And Rightly So blog, which has been around since October of 2004.

Raven is 41, divorced, with three daughters, four cats and a dog. She is an LPN working in a nursing home. She lives in Southern NH and loves it here. She thinks that Massachusetts "sucketh."

Raven is expressively candid about the many topics (including "New England," "Current Events," "Liberal Lunatics") she includes on her blog. I especially enjoy reading her "History" category.

She is entertaining, disturbing, and educational. What more could you hope for?

Sleepy Eyes Knitting

Gina House of Londonderry owns Sleepy Eyes Knitting blog. Her subtitle states: "A Knit, Two Purls and Only Three Winks...knit...yawn...knit..must keep knitting...and spinning!" She is a 33 year old mom and two boys, age 3 and 13. Working part time as a yoga instructor, the rest of her time is devoted to being a mom and wife.

She maintains a "Sleepy Eyes Yarn" shop online and a Yoga web site. While to the untrained eye, knitting and yoga don't seem connected, Gina believes that "knitting brings your mind and body into a special place that is conducive to meditation and relaxation."

Most of the posts are regarding yarn and handcrafts.

I must admit, being a "knitter" myself, I am impressed with the amazing colors of these home-dyed yarns.

Milkweed Hill ... And Beyond

Milkweed Hill was created by Kristen, a stay-at-home mom of two, aiming to parent with grace, patience, love and facing each day with a small bowl of caffeine. Kristen also happens to be Ernesto's "better half."

Kristen shares some very sweet, and greatly entertaining stories of the every day challenges of her family including their joys and sorrows, foibles and feats.

She writes with a sense of humor, and shares her obvious love of her family, which most of us can definitely relate with.

New Hampshire Bloggers to Meet - October 2006

A meeting of New Hampshire Bloggers is being organized.

The organizers are TJ of Better Living Through Chemistry blog, and JD from Grain of Salt.

Anyone who resides in New Hampshire and maintains a weblog is invited, whether you are a full-time blogger, or a casual blog hobbyist.

Our target date is Saturday, October 14th.

Our target location is Concord, New Hampshire (we don’t know where yet, so if anyone has any bright ideas, let TJ know).

Sarah Says

Sarah Says is a blog belonging to Sarah Dobb, a writer, web developer, and Chinese language enthusiast. A student in the Technical & Professional Writing program at San Francisco State University, she is temporarily in New Hampshire, helping her grandparents to itemize and sell their collectibles on ebay.

She arrived just in time to surprise her mother on Mother's Day, and to experience the flooding we had in May 2006.

She is performing a workathon to raise money for New Hampshire's Horton Center. That alone is a good reason to stop by her blog.

Mike's Blog

Mike's Blog belongs to Mike Pride, editor of the Concord Monitor. He recently celebrated his first year anniversary (May 2005), and 149th blog entry.

"My Year As A Blogger" will give you a good idea of his personal insights into the process of blogging, what works and what doesn't, for him. He maintains a local focus, even when national or international news is involved, i.e. "How does this affect residents of New Hampshire?"

What I find most interesting about his blog, is his willingness to share the "inner workings" of their web-based news.
