4th Annual 31 for 21 Blog Challenge

Have you missed me?

Ok. Maybe you haven't. Although, I know at least my dad has. He told me so on the phone today!

Well, get ready, because you won't have time to miss me in October. I will be coming to you LIVE EVERY DAY (or, maybe not LIVE, per se, but you know, DAILY). It's that time of year again...the 31 for 21 Blog Challenge to Raise Awareness of Down Syndrome!

We'll see if I can make it every day for a month. I've never been able to do it before, but man, do I need to start posting more often.

[RK]

I think I can...I think I can. I'm sure going to try. And I WANT to do better about actually talking about the DS and it's relative involvement in life... we shall see.

[Qadoshyah]

This'll be the first year I do this! I think I can do it . . . I'm definitely going to try :).

[Mary]

Count me in. This is year three for me and the kids are busier than ever so we'll see how I do.

[Michelle Adams]

Yay! I'm in!!!! :)

[Hapagirlhapafamily.blogspot.com]

Well, I'm not sure what happened to my comment..but Yes I'm in again! My third year!!!

[Laurie]

Wow! It's October already again?

[Beth]

I'm in, definitely. Now to find stuff to blog about for 31 days....

[starrlife]

I'm there man! It's the month when I get my stats soaring only to watch them dwindle as I write less after it's done! Looking forward to it- nice button!

[Phoenix's mom]

i look forward to this every year!

[Michelle Z]

Oooh, this might be tough! I'm so out of the habit of blogging ... but it should be fun! :)

Thanks for putting this together again!!

[Leah Spring]

ME ME ME! I've been terrible lately! It could possibly have something to do with having 3 blogs going at once, and the fact most of my attention is going to my adoption blog. LOL But I'm going to give it a shot!

[Cole]

I was just asking about this on BBC! I'm in. Hopefully my button is working- I have the hardest time adding them to the blog for some reason.

[Michelle]

Although I am feeling blogged out right now, I can't miss this. So of course I'm in!

[Tina]

AWESOME idea!!!

[Jen]

I will try, scouts honor, though I'm exhausted in just thinking about it.

[Kristin]

Hopefully this gets me back blogging!

[Solveig]

I'm in - this year, too! :) Will try my best to post every day!

[maya]

And I am IN!!!
Like the new button!
And thanks as always, for organizing this (and for being one of my first inspirations to start a blog!)
xxoo

[Lisa Connally]

We are in for the challenge this year, I hope we can do it.

[Kris]

I am going to try not to miss a day, it can get challenging, but I think it is important.

The new button is great!

[Tracy]

I will give it a shot!! Never have even come close to posting everyday, but I am proud to be a part of Ds awareness!

[Renee]

Hi! I found you through another blog. Yesterday I actually decided to do the same thing. I wasn't aware that someone had the whole linky thing together with a button and such. Very cool!

[Laura]

Thrilled to be apart again this year! Now off to blogging ;)

[Amy]

This will be a challenge but I really want to be a part of it!

[Beth]

I'll try! I'll try!

[Karen]

I don't have kids but know lots of people with ds so thought I'd join in to raise awareness. Is that okay?

[Tricia]

Of course!! :)

Sent from my iPod

[Ria]

First time to do this. It'll be a challenge!

[jan]

Going to try to do it this year!

[Liz]

I'm in, too! Can't believe October is here already!

[Meredith]

Looking forward to October! I should be traveling for our adoption later in the month (I HOPE!) so we'll see how the every-day thing goes, but here's hoping :)

[Bambi]

I'll give it my best shot! I don't have a child or any family with DS, but I've worked with kids who were blessed with that extra 21 and they hold a large part of my heart. Anything to raise awareness is good by me!

[cindy]

I'm going to try!!

[Cheryl]

I'll try :)

[Cathy]

I made it last year. Hope I can do it again this year, but not as confident...lol

[Christie]

I am easing back into blogging so this is the perfect reason for me to jump in with both feet!

[Sherry Perez]

This may help to jump start me into blogging. Thank you! Cheap therapy.

[Jenee]

I can't believe I just excepted the challenge. It will be hard to find the time, but I am so excited to be apart of it!

[Penny]

i'm in....my first time to participate! excited to raise awareness about our awesome kids!

[erin]

All linked up! Thanks its my first time and I can't wait.

[A'yani's Mommy]

A'yani's Journey is an ongoing blog about the life of our angel A'yani. Starting October, daily updates will now be posted. Blog also includes recent news stories of those living with DS as well. Thanks ;-)

[Beverly]

hope I can keep up but I will give it a try!

[JoAnn Torres]

Hoping some children get adopted from Reeces Rainbow from the awareness!

[Kim Fish]

Joining the blog-a-day gang . . . let's see what we can do!!

[gillian]

I'm in...nervous, but in!

[Suriyah Fish]

I just joined. . . we'll see! I think I can do it...

[Kari]

Sorry... #69 Was a typo. Looking forward to another year; maybe this year I will make it the whole month :)

[Lara]

BIG challenge for me..let's see if I can do it! :)

[Sweet Pea's Mommy]

Looking forward to it!

[Ecki]

I've been a blog slacker of late, so hopefully this will get me in gear!!!

[Suzie]

Hopefully I can do this everyday!!!

[Maggie Mae]

Honored to be part of it... This challenge, 2 years ago, was the catalyst that got me blogging in the first place. Looking forward to taxing my brain for the next 31 days to help raise awareness of the needs of all people with Down syndrome.

Read about me and my pursuit of happiness raising 3 kids -- including 5-year-old identical twin boys who happened to have been blessed with an extra 21st chromosome.

[Laura]

Holy crap. I don't know how I will do this. 3 nights a week I go into work and come home 11PM. Still I'm going to give it a try! What a great idea.

[Linda]

I am going to give it a try. But of course, Olivia comes first! And I think she may just decide to start "creeping" during the challenge!

[Kristen Faulkner]

I am in again! Love the new button!

[Kacey Bode]

I'm in! I think I have failed miserably in the past so hopefully I can stay committed : )

[Hanunyah Fish]

My blog is about gluten-free baking for a big family, and doing it cheap and easy. Ready, Set, Go, do 31 posts in a month!

[Kayla]

I'm excited and looking forward to 31 for 21! :)

[Julie]

I'm in! Hopefully, I will remember! Thanks :)

[Lauren]

I love doing this every year!

[Andi]

This will be my first year as part of the challenge - my son, Nathan, is only six months old. I also have a 7 yo daughter with cerebral palsy, so although I'm knew to the Ds world, I'm not new to the special needs world. My blog is titled "Double Dose of Special".

[Kristin Montgomery]

wonderful idea!

[erika]

woohoo!! i can talk (type) alllll day long about ds... or at least i think I can.. we'll see!

[Liz]

My daughter is 7 months old. This is my first time doing the 31 for 21 and I will do it! For her, for us! thank you for the great button and wonderful blogs.

[Tina]

I'm definitely going to try my best, last October I actually managed!!! This is a challenge I really want to be a part of!

[Theo & Zhen's momma]

Oh my gosh I'm crazy!! I just got home from adopting two boys with DS from Ukraine life around here is INSANE!! I'm always up for a challenge though, thanks!!!

[Susan]

So thrilled to be part of this challenge. This is year three for me. I am the proud SuSu (grandmother) of two Delightful Special brother and sister.

[Zoey's mom]

Oh boy ...the pressure is on!

[Andrea]

I have been reading your blog for at least a year....I started mine this March. This is an amazing idea you had to spread awareness!Last year I was only a reader> I wasn't "ready" to be a blogger. I'm going for 31 for 21! :)
