Jess, over at Balancing Everything had rave reviews about a cookbook she used while on a camping trip recently. The cookbook is all slow cooker recipes and get this, gluten free

I ordered my copy just now and can’t wait for it to arrive! I’ll be back in a few weeks with reviews of my own. Until then,  be sure to click and take a look.

Since this blog is one of several I have and each one is on a different subject, I have decided to do some changing.

My main blog is Crazy for the Country. It is my family blog, where I post about anything and everything in our every day lives.

Besides my main blog, there is this one, Hugs by the Pound. Then, I also have Calling It Quilts, Oh Chicken Feathers! and Stepford Housewife.

I am going to make all of my “secondary” blogs into review or informational type blogs. I plan to post at least a couple of times a week on each of them, each post will be very specific. For instance, here on Hugs by the Pound, each post will be about special needs. Mostly Autism but also therapy aids, GFCG diets and lots more. This format will carry over to each of my other blogs, keeping Crazy for the Country as my main “what’s happening” blog for our family. All of Gregory’s progress will now be on Crazy for the Country.

So be sure to bookmark each one and come back often. This change will start tomorrow, June 1, 2010.

Enjoy!

Hugs by the Pound originated when I was making weighted blankets and selling them on ebay for those with special needs.

I sold so many of my weighted blankets, that I decided I would open an online store to get away from ebay fees, and decided on the name Hugs by the Pound.  After months of procrastinating, I decided instead of an online store, I wanted to do Hugs by the Pound in blog form.

While designing the site, I knew I wanted something fun and mostly for kids.  One day when we were out shopping someplace, my autistic son, Gregory, saw balloons and squealed with delight.  I knew then, I wanted the site theme to be balloons.

Some say it reminds them of birthdays, but after all, what child doesn’t just love balloons???

And by the way, I will have my weighted blankets available for sale again, soon.

My new blog will be up and running very soon.

Please bookmark this site or even better, add it to your own blog’s blogroll.

I’ll be posting on a regular basis very soon.
