Week 1 — Featured Commenters:

First, we have Deb from Mom of 3 Girls.

Deb is a FANTASTIC commenter here at 5 Minutes for Mom. Her encouraging comments greet me on almost all my posts!!!

As the title of her blog tells us, Deb is mom to three beautiful girls.

Deb is a former ‘working’ mom. She worked full-time out of the house until she was laid off from her job. So at the moment she is job hunting, looking into all of her other options for bringing in an income, and taking care of her kids full-time.

About her new SAHM life she says, “It’s different from what we’re used to, but the girls and I are figuring this out together. And no matter what – things can still get crazy and hectic!”

Deb started a wonderful weekly carnival called, I Remember When.

Deb is also a loyal tackler with Tackle It Tuesday and she regularly shows off her beautiful girls at Wordless Wednesday.

And when she isn’t blogging, you can find Deb on Twitter.

Second, we have Nell from Casual Friday Everyday.

Nell is the definition of a LOYAL commenter. This girl ROCKS! I just love to read her comments on our posts — we appreciate Nell so much!

Nell is a married, stay-at-home Mommy of three little boys — the youngest being that adorable newborn all snuggled up with his mommy! (Ohhhh that photo makes me want another baby!)

Nell describes herself as “an internet entrepreneur, avid blogger & lover of life.”

The tag line of Casual Friday Everyday is, “live fully, live joyfully, live for today.” And that is Nell’s goal in life — to live in the moment. She says, “I work to set that example for my children and hopefully that reflects on my blog as well.”

Nell also loves to twitter, so make sure you follow her @casualeveryday! And if you live in Missouri, she is always looking to meet up with fellow bloggers in and around the area.

Make sure you click over and visit both Deb and Nell — I am sure you will enjoy getting to know them!
