Read MoreDoes Your Kid Have a Lovey?
Welcome to the new and improved ADM Blog Hop (you can read more about the roots of this Blog Hop here). Our host this week is Sara over at Fred-n-Sara. Anyone can participate! Just post on the week’s topic and add you link to the Linky at the bottom of the post.

I’ve had some of these thoughts in my head for a while but was really prompted by a couple of other bloggers’ posts on the subject that made me feel I should talk about it. First, Grumbles and Grumbles and Grunts blogs about blogging in the top 5 ways this is going to be the most meta post ever.
