August Blog Carnival

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Enola has the “Back to School” edition of the Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse up over at her site, if you haven’t taken a look yet, like me, head on over and get caught up.

This is the first time I’ve popped open my laptop since Thursday, after traveling for a family wedding, and even now I’m in Washington DC for the week to attend a conference for the day job, so I’ll have to find time to get over there an check out the post myself! Hopefully I’ll be able to do that, I know there’s always such great stuff in each carnival!
