This week's Fine feathered Friend is Stacy at 

After 20+ years in the Corporate World, I welcomed a Miracle Baby (aka Princess Nagger) and became a SAHM – I love every minute of it.  I have a great husband (aka Hovering Hubby) who keeps me on my toes with his intellectual and literal personality, along with his dry sense of humor.  Still training him, of course – that always takes time. We have an eclectic mix of pets which include dogs, cats, birds, snakes, and fish.  I love to cook and try new techniques to turn ordinary into extraordinary.  Crafty by nature, I tend to take on a lot of unique projects and enjoy seeing the end result.  Of course my favorite craftiness is making wine.  Especially the drinking it part. My Blog is Random Thoughts on the joys of parenting, family, friends, life, love and anything else that strikes my fancy.

Stacy's blog offers posts about giveaways, reviews, recipes, crafts music and more.  Her posts often elicit numerous comments from the community of friends she's drawn. And who could blame them? She writes with humor, charm and humility, and creates a warm and inviting online environment. I hope you'll drop by and see if you agree. Maybe we'll cross paths as we engage in her post conversations!

This week's Fine feathered Friend is Becca at

I write this blog based both on the life of my childhood, as well as things I didn’t experience in my childhood but hope to share with my own children one day. While much of the aim is at parents with younger children, most everything is meant to still be relevant to all parents (and even those who aren't parents). Many of the tips and perspectives compiled come from my years as a middle child of nine. I love Jesus and trust Him to help me to write things that will encourage families.

Becca's blog is unique in that it is a lovely, well-rounded family/mom blog written from the perspective of an aunt! Her love for Christ, her family, and children shines in every posts. Many (certainly not all) of the blogs written by women her age are primarily about lighter topics, such as nail polish and fashion, so reading this blog is like taking a breath of fresh air. The posts are positive and inspiring and cover a wide range of family-friendly topics including homeschooling, movies, recipes,  scripture/devotionals, crafts and even giveaways. I hope you'll check out and consider following this lovely blog.

This week's Fine feathered Friend is Lee at

Hello everyone! I am a true New England Gal. I love the shoreline, sailing, fishing,and apple picking with my family. Some of my other interests include shopping, cooking, and traveling.  I started my blog "Love it or...Not" aka "Love It" a few months ago and it is going fantastic. The quote "Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate" embodies my blog's focus. My blog covers a variety of topics and includes product reviews and giveaways as well. I hope that you stop by and visit. 

I hope you'll stop by and consider following "Love It."  I'm sure you'll be impressed as I was by the many different giveaways she shares on her blog. She also shares freebie offers that she finds. Following this blog could be quite rewarding!
