There are so many amazing blogs out there, and we love sharing them with you. This week, Rachel Sarah is doing a giveaway of our book on her site, Single Mom Seeking. You have until December 1st to leave a comment for a chance to win. And Leah has guest posts up on two blogs this week. On Savvy Auntie (an ingenious blog for aunts!) she has a post called “In Praise of Wild Aunts,” and on Scary Mommy (a brutally honest and hilarious blog about motherhood), she asks: “Am I Driving My Kids to Drink? (Or Are They Driving Me?)”
