We love our sisters and we know you do too. Here’s a little taste of what’s up at each of our sister sites. Click over and enjoy!

We are thrilled and honored to welcome our newest Contributing Editor, Cassie, to 5 Minutes For Parenting.

Cassie has just published a touching post about proving herself as young, single mom. Read about how a bake sale taught Cassie What Makes A Good Mother?

Teresa from Samuel’s Miracle will give you goosebumps with her guest post at 5 Minutes for Special Needs.

She tells about a tragic accident where her youngest boy fell into a canal and almost drown.

She says “It was at that moment that I was whisked out of my normal life and thrust into a world I only thought I knew existed – the world of special needs children.”

Click over to read how her road has taught her to “appreciate every miracle of life – from the miracle of breathing to the miracle of hearing your child speak your name.”

Jennifer is in the Dominican Republic spreading the wonderful joys of child sponsorship, but her team of book-loving writers are still turning pages over at 5 Minutes for Books.

Carrie shares how she discovered Barefoot Books through a comment on the site. She’s reviewing some fantastic musical children’s books from Barefoot Books .

Our Managing Editor Kerri Ann from 5 Minutes for Going Green reminds us that there are only a couple more days for you to shoot and enter a video in Home Depot’s Save Money. Save Energy. Win Big! video contest. Entries are accepted until midnight PST on Sunday, November 9th.

Jennifer (The Eco Chic Organizer) has started an interesting discussion about the wasteful consumerism that occurs at Christmas. Click over and tell us what you think about the The Undertow of Materialism.

Do you think shopping (online and locally) helps drive our economy or that it is all just a waste that sends dollars floating into oblivion and garbage into land fills. Or maybe is that consumerism is a necessary evil that must be tamed on our road to a better, greener world.

What do you think???
