Secret Santa Spin Cycle - Merry Christmas Sprite's Keeper

Every week, week in and week out Jen from Sprite's Keeper sends out a call for us to participate in the Spin Cycle. This week was a Secret Santa spin. She did this last year also. The concept goes like this; you send her a list of your favorite bloggers and she picks one for you to write about. You write a post about why you like to read that blog. All without the other blogger knowing about it. You know, all secret like.

This year I didn't send a list. Why? Because of something I noticed last year; Jen didn't pick anyone to be her secret Santa and none of us picked her on our own. Hey, it's okay, we were all new to the concept. Totally understandable. And, how can you pick yourself? Then it wouldn't be a secret.

So, this year I picked Jen from Sprite's Keeper to give my Secret Santa spin.

Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas, Jen!

Jen is the wonderful mother to the adorable Sprite. Who Jen has graciously allowed us to watch grow up. I get to be that eccentric aunt virtually. How much does that rock!

She blogs about all those things that new mommies go through, and some they don't, with honesty and candidness. Whether is it creating new traditions or blending old ones for your new family, potty training, daycare issues or the ins and outs of princess management She shares them with us.




She introduces topics that encourage critical thinking or instigate snarkiness with her weekly Spin Cycle. Whether the weekly spin is about thankfulness, recipes, guilt or confessions Jen's post is always interesting. This is one of my favorites.




You can't talk about Jen without talking about poetry. That girl can really turn a phrase. Go check out some of her terrific poetry. She can write one about about just about anything.

Though she found flying
to be a bit trying,

At Blogher this summer she seemed just fine.
She was even tempted once to drink a little wine.

If you haven't gone to Jen's blog please go check her out
You won't be sorry
Without even a doubt.

Okay, I'll stop already.

What I want to say is;

Merry Christmas, Jen, John and Sprite and a very happy New Year.


Love,
M
