Ohana Mama’s Monday Mom Buzz Around the Blogosphere

It’s almost the New Year! We’re about to say adios to 2008 …but here is what the Mom Buzz has found around the blogosphere this last week!

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS:
Have you made your New Year’s Resolutions yet? Mine are to spend more quality time with the kids and maintain a cleaner house. You can read A Womb at the Innsane’s resolutions here : Resolutions for the Inn Keeper.

BUCKET LIST:
The Mom with the Brownies made a bucket list. It is a list of things you want to do before you kick the bucket. Read hers, then make your own. Let me know when you do! I want to read it.

BLOG MAKE-OVER: Blog Candy Designs has done it again! She gave Three Little Birds a crisp new look! Plus, if you head over there now you can see a clip of Shanna’s little girl singing. :meltinghearts:

CHRISTMAS HAS COME AND GO:
Here is a peek of Christmas from a few different mom-bloggers. Have you posted your pictures yet?

BABY ITEMS:
Learn about these awesome Chaleco bibs, that Jolly Mom believes to be the best ever.

EDUCATIONAL:
Matthew’s Puzzle reviewed Playtime with Zeebu. It sounds like an amazing DVD set for many children.

FOR MOM:
Have you seen the Rhetoric Tees that Ohana Mama found? Hilarious!

MEME:
Looking for a new Meme? Diana’s Daily Ramblings has started a Family Foto Fun Friday. Every Friday Diana will post a photo theme for the week. You will then post at least one photo that fits the theme on your blog along with an explanation.
