		<description>Oh, I had sooo intended to post on this topic of firsts! But, as the mama of five kids and a busy business owner (whose husband is away for a week) - I didn&#039;t quite get to it.
As for my own first, I&#039;m looking for my first full night of sleep in eight years! :) I&#039;ll definately blog about that when the time comes right here:  www.blog.mabel.ca
Really enjoyed reading the posts!</description>

		<description>This was such a great thing to do.  It\&#039;s nice to stop and think about what you cherish.  Thanks for holding this contest!  It was like therapy.  :)  http://livingmybestlife-lisa.blogspot.com/2008/09/first-or-last.html</description>

		<description>Hi Shera, what a fabulous expose of firsts! This is Lisa Garrigues, author of Writing Motherhood.  I&#039;m so glad you made the excellent point that firsts don&#039;t end with  babyhood.  And I&#039;m thrilled you chose as your topic your son&#039;s first experiences in junior high...to this day, I still remember my rather rocky transition to junior high!  I&#039;m going to check out the other &quot;firsts&quot; posted by your readers.  All best, Lisa</description>

		<description>Am I really the first one to comment about the Firsts?!!  I loved your post - the firsts of an older child are fascinating to me, we are just in first grade with our oldest, so those days are coming in the future.  Reading your post was like glimpsing that future, thanks!

My Firsts post can be found here http://vamomof3boys.com/blog/2008/09/23/firsts/ - I hope you enjoy!</description>

		<description>Shera,
I am terrified to think that my son will one day experience his first football game!

Here is my post: http://chefdruck.blogspot.com/2008/09/firsts-writing-motherhood-post-chat.html

I have a copy of the book so don&#039;t enter me in your giveaway - but I enjoyed reading yours!</description>
