Nice things about my blogroll buddies, part 7
B of Relaxed Alert is a mommy of two boys and teaches grade school in Massachusetts. I found her a couple of years ago when our little blog group bumped into her group of blogging friends. When I started reading she had been a widow for one year. Her husband had been stricken with an illness and died within days. She was pregnant with her second son when he died. Through her powerful writing she has grieved and ranted and come to terms with being a single mother, something that was never meant to be. She learned to cope with the loneliness and worked hard to preserve the memory of her husband for her boys. We cheered for her when she started dating again. B has shown an amazing strength and resilience through it all. She always seems full of hope for the future, knowing that she is living for her husband, as well as herself.

Heather of Roff Boy's World is a stay-at-home mommy of three boys and lives in California. Heather is a caring mama and great support to her friends. She always has good advice and ideas for those of us with younger kids. She has an addiction to strollers and is always trying out new products for her kids. She gives us the skinny on whether or not to spend our money. Her boys have model good looks and have been betrothed to many girlies on our mommy board. She's always coming up with activities for her boys and sharing their adventures with us.

Erin of Ruler of the Elves has a beautiful daughter Emma's age. We like to describe Erin as cute and spunky. She'd like to kick our butts for that crack ;) She's a big Buckeyes fan and loves to taunt all of those from "lesser" schools. Since I've known her she's gone from a stay-at-home mom to earning her real estate license. She's already selling homes and bringing in the big bucks. I admire her drive. She's also taken up photography as a hobby and takes some terrific pictures. I think she has a particular talent for working with light. She does awesome graphic designs and has been offered more big bucks for that work. She's a funny gal who will say just about anything and no party seems complete without her there. Girlfriend, where you been?
