Does anyone not love The Chronicles of Narnia? I think my favorite scene in all the books is from the Magician's Nephew, the world-between-the-worlds full of an infinite number of magic pools. Jumping into any one of the pools leads Polly and Digory to a different world, and their adventures go from there.
I love the book, but I always thought it was a pity that they didn't get to try out more of the pools. Imagine the possibilities!
And just lately, I've been thinking about those pools when I come across new blogs, or, especially, gatherings of interesting blogs like
Elizabeth Esther's Saturday Evening Blog Post roundup or
Jen Fulwiler's Friday Quick Takes. So many great blogs! Such an amazing, intimate peek into other people's lives! It is so cool to read someone's blog and feel like you've just had a cup of coffee, getting to know them. This digital age of ours is an amazing thing, no?
Here are a few fascinating blogs I've stumbled upon recently:
Joy in this Journey - Joy's courageous struggle with the loss of her dear daughter.
Making Home - this one is sweet--really interesting young lady
11 on my Own - Large family mothering, single-mom style.
Large Family Mothering - now THAT's a big family, and a really fascinating blog, I think.

I think there are a few more and I'll add them later when I think of them. Yes, I need to get a life. I know. I'll do so...any minute now.
