This week marks the one year anniversary of the launch of Simple Living Media! In some ways, this year has just flown by, but in other ways, I can’t believe it’s only been one year. Simple Mom started in mid-February 2008; Simple Kids was January 2009, and the other three launched a year ago this weekend.

SLM Contributors and editors hang out, Blissdom style! Top, L to R: Maya Bisineer, Jamie Martin, Kara Fleck, me, Shaina Olmanson, Katie Kimball. Bottom, L to R: Emily Carter, Mandi Ehman, Nicole Bennett, Aimée Wimbush-Bourque, Katie Clemons.
SLM would not be what it is without the fabulous editors and contributors to each of those sites. In today’s weekend links, I also wanted to share some of my favorite posts from each of these channels, in no particular order:

Hi, Tsh! I hope you don’t mind, but I mentioned Simple Mom on my last blog entry: http://daintymom.blogspot.com/2011/02/5-job-ideas-for-potential-work-at-home.html Happy Sunday from the sunny islands of the Philippines! Thanks for making SM so wonderful! I especially look forward to anything your write about productivity. Hopefully I can find a way to order your book and have it delivered to Manila! God bless you, always.

Meeting all of you was one of the highlights for me at Blissdom! Thanks for letting me be a part of such an amazing group. Hope you don’t mind if I use this picture? I didn’t get one with my camera.
