Add YOUR Blog or Event Button to our New and Improved Fav Blogger Page! -UPDATE

UPDATE: After discovering that my Events Buttons section was causing so much confusion, I moved the Events Button section to the bottom of my blog. I will try to find a better location with more visibility later, but I needed somewhere to move it temporarily.

Add YOUR Blog or Event Button to our New & Improved "Favorite Blogs & Blogger Events" Page! Thanks to the new Linky Tools we now have a Self-Managed and Neatly Organized Blogger Button Page! Previously I would enter all of the blog buttons and event buttons myself, and the page got to looking a bit disorganized and messy, not to mention time consuming. Now Family Oriented Bloggers can add their own buttons to our page. If you have a Blogger Event button you want some extra exposure for...add it to Our Page!

I do have a few easy-peasy requirements before you can add your button to our page. 1.) Your blog must be family-oriented, No adult theme blogs [if you must be 18 to view your site, do NOT add it to the list.] 2.) You must post our button on Your Blog too. For Event Buttons, in addition to #1 and 2, you must also include the ending date in your caption/title. That's pretty easy don't you think?

Grab Our Button:

If your button is already on our "Favorite Blogs" page in the 'old section' (near the bottom in the messy, disorganized area, then you will still need to add your button in the New & Improved section because I will be deleting the buttons in the old section very soon.

Who is that Baby Store Lady?

While this blog is primarily for and about the store, filled with information that we think is of value to parents , grandparents, and caregivers, it is also a reflection of me and my values. In each post you get a small taste of 'me' sprinkled here and there. But do you ever wonder, "Who is that baby store lady?" What is she like outside of the baby store? I do have a life outside of the baby store ya know...not much, but I do have one, lol. This is my most recent picture...I don't like my picture to be taken, so once every few years is about all that I will stand still for.

In the nearly one year since I created this blog, I have gotten to know quite a few bloggers on a personal level. They started out as followers, but through their comments, responses to my emails, tweeting me on Twitter and/or writing on our Facebook wall, they have become virtual friends. We now follow each others blogs, communicate via emails, twitter and facebook. We have learned the names of each others family members and follow events happening in each others family lives. Sometimes we are even a shoulder to 'virtually' cry on when things are not going so smoothly in our lives.

If you would like to get to know me on a personal level, then I invite you to visit my personal blog. It is called "I am Nanny Anna". I think of it as my open journal of my personal path through the stages in my life. I am an Over 40 Blogger, about to be an Over 50 Blogger, so there are lots of things changing in my life right now. In my heading it says, "Life is Like the Changing Seasons. Walk with me as I leave behind my Summer Season and Enter my Fall." I wrote a full post that explains what that means to me. In the past I have kept my personal blog separate from my business blog, but I don't feel the need to keep the two separate any longer. I have even added a list of current posts on each blog in the left sidebar telling the readers what is going on at the other blog. So when you are visiting here, learning about a great new product to make a mama's life a little easier, then you can see what I am chatting about over on my personal blog.

Here is my cute new button that Sheila from Blog Designs by Sheila created for me. She actually just did a complete makeover on my personal blog to make it more Personal. I love her designs, and she is so easy to work with. She also designed this blog too.

So, if you would like to get to know the 'Woman behind The Baby Store Plus', lol, come on over and visit me at "I am Nanny Anna", I would love to get to know you better as well :)

The timing is also perfect for this Blog Hop...
