Here is a sample of several local women who blog. I've closed comments here so as to encourage readers to comment there:

In the 1930's, my great-grandparents owned Iverson's Grocery. Amy and I visited there today!!! The girl that was working there showed us pictures, and an article from the newspaper in 1999.

Meanwhile, Whirligig, that wonderful shop in downtown Olympia where Ms Re-Usable not only displayed her upcycled art work but also offered recycled art workshops, is closing this month. We are heartbroken, since there is no where else in town where Olympia Dumpster Divers and other indie/green artisans can gather to sell their unique wares and also teach their crafts.

Amanda and I went to Alex's school yesterday for an assembly. It was the second grader's turn this month. The school has certain values they are trying to teach the students, and each month, they learn about a word. March's word was "honesty", so the second graders put on a little program about honesty.

In traditional Byzantine iconography, there is little room for personal expression, which is not a bad thing–it’s a different type of energy that works through prayer and fasting. You get out of the way to serve the Mysteries.

Funny little tidbit... My 4 year old is fully starting to appreciate all holidays. However St. Patrick's day was perplexing to her. She didn't quite understand why there was a day to celebrate Sponge Bob's best friend, Patrick, and why we had to wear green.
