Blog of the Week: Big Teeth and Clouds!
Anyway, it's time for another Blog of the Week, and this week's pick is Big Teeth and Clouds!
Joey is one of my newest bloggy buddies and she's had quite a week.
On Tuesday, she wrote a post about the apparent shortage of Eggo waffles. Have you heard about this? Apparently the plant in Atlanta flooded and there's going to be a nationwide shortage of frozen waffles until the middle of next year. Crazy, right?
Well, Joey blogged about it. And then some AP reporter called her at home and interviewed her.
Now, one of the things I love about Joey is that she's a bit sarcastic and funny, like me. But, apparently, not everyone sees it that way since she got quite a bit of heat for talking about the need to ration her Eggos. Here's the link to the msnbc article. And here's what she had to say about it.
It's amazing how quick we are to judge each other while sitting in the comfort of our own living rooms, mere feet away from pantries that are stocked with nothing but the healthiest and purest of ingredients. I bet not ONE of those well-meaning and helpful commenters has a single ounce of processed sugar or bleached white flour in their kitchens. So it's really cool that they felt the need to be so helpful and constructive in their discussion of Joey's parenting skills.
Anyways, I just love a good internet controversy and this one keeps making me giggle.
But when she's not busy feeding her kid "garbage," Joey also writes about raising a child with hearing loss, about life and things in the news. Her blog is varied and interesting and a good read.
So go check her out. And, if you're worried about the Eggo shortage, offer her a good price before she puts them up on EBay!
