June was the last time I did the no-frills blog round up. It’s not that I haven’t been reading your blogs – no, look at my laundry pile, evidence I read too much – I’ve been too lazy to piece the post together. I like doing the round up, I like the feeling of introducing my readers to others. Kind of like a meet and greet social club. I think from now on I’ll do this twice a month, so I don’t feel like I have to do it every week and get overwhelmed.

So from my Google reader to you, I give you my favorite summer content.

Writer-Mama’s back-to-school giveaway. Lots of books for the (mommy) writer.

Kristen of We are THAT family is helping a family who fled their Russian homeland due to their faith in Christ.
