Thank you to everyone who sent me messages of appreciation; while I was glad to read how useful the blog has been, I’m sad to be unable to continue it. Several people have expressed interest, though, in perhaps continuing it in some form or another, while others asked for my sources in putting the weekend lineup together.
To help everyone out, I’ve listed the links I check on a weekly basis to create the lineup. The list is in no particular order; it’s just how they appear in my Favorites folder.

Thanks for all your hard work. I will miss your blog. Best of luck to you!
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father and your possible breast lump. I have you on my blog roll and was actually coming by to let you know that I had posted up my summer fun guide and found your message about no longer posting. I will never be able to provide the week to week service you did and I tend to focus a little more westward, but some of your readers may be interested in the Summer Fun Guide I have up on my site, and perhaps by the end of summer you may be up to posting on this site again. My prayers are with you.
We’ll miss you! Just found this site that other moms might like: http://busynovababy.blogspot.com/
