My Sister's Cottage: A New Blog

A New Blog

Today I received the most wonderful Comment on one of my posts from a new blogger named Sue. Seems she had spent the weekend reading It's Always Something, the blog that my sister, Nancy, and I wrote together from 2008 until she lost her cancer battle in November. I mean Sue read the WHOLE THING...she's practically a member of the family after that!

Anyway, Sue mentioned that she has become a "blogaholic" over the past few months and has recently started her own blog. So, of course, I had to click right over to it and pay her a visit. Her blog is called Lil of This, Lil of That and you can visit it here. In her blog, Sue invites us to "join me on this journey of outfitting a new house and all the little ups and downs that go along with it".

We all know how hard it is to get a new blog started and how discouraging it can be at first when you write your heart out and get no Comments. When I started My Sister's Cottage I really appreciated the traffic that other bloggers, like Brenda at Cozy Little House, sent my way. So, I was thinking...how about if we all pay Sue's blog a visit and leave a Comment or two to help get her started? What do you think?
