How would you like to make a difference in the life of a public school students?
For the second year in a row, Six Apart is participating in the DonorsChoose.org Blogger Challenge. The challenge runs all throughout the month of October, and we'd love for you to participate along with us. Just as we did last year, Six Apart is sponsoring the award for the bloggers who reach the most kids.
The Blogger Challenge is a friendly contest amongst bloggers to raise money for low-income public schools. Here's how it works: teachers from all over the country post items for which they would like funding, such as writing supplies for a journalism class, equipment for a science lab, or music instruments for a band class. Bloggers choose their favorite projects and link to their challenge page in a post or via a giving widget on their blog. The bloggers who raise the most money or reach the most kids will win an award.
Here's how you can participate:
- Go to the Donors Choose Blogger Challenge page and find a blogger's giving list you'd like to support.
or
- Set up your own challenge and let your readers know in a blog post or by installing the widget (it just takes a few clicks).
No matter which way you choose to participate, you should feel incredibly proud of yourself for helping to bring resources to students in struggling classrooms.
Donors Choose will announce the results in early November, and we'll reveal the winners of the Six Apart award for bloggers who reached the most students shortly thereafter.

It was a short day-trip and naps were needed by the afternoon. But it was good to see Cara, April and their kids. I was glad the twins slept the entire trip home!
Also, take note that Tate is sporting his Florida State gear for the football season! Sorry the bib is obstructing the view of the FSU symbol.
6 month update (a little late). The kids went for their 6 month check-up and Tate is now 16lbs 1oz and Campbell is 15lbs 10.5oz. Growing by leaps and bounds!
The BlogWorld & New Media Expo in Las Vegas on September 20th and 21st is the largest blogging conference in the world and Six Apart, Vox's parent company, will be there in full force. The only question we have is: Will you be joining us?
If so, we hope you'll be sure to attend the opening keynote where Six Apart's CEO, Chris Alden, and VP, Anil Dash, will speak on "The State of the Blogosphere." Considering over 12 million American adults currently maintain a blog, and over 57 million Americans read blogs, we're very curious to find out what they have to say!
There are so many amazing speakers and panels at BlogWorld, we know you'll be incredibly busy, but we'd really love to meet you, so please take time to stop by the Six Apart booth and introduce yourself. While you're there, you can meet other Six Apart Voxers, learn more about our new website, Blogs.com, and get any questions you may have answered.

See you in Vegas!
We survived the Labor Day weekend. We were completely exhausted after all the wedding festivities. (which you can see the exhaustion on my face) Lisa and Kyle tied the knot! Campbell and Tate had new outfits to show off at the wedding. Tate seemed to love his ensemble, while Campbell finally tired of her look. The family portrait shows Josh's frustration of keeping up with babies at a wedding while I took pictures. I look pretty frazzled as well. But, we enjoyed seeing old friends.
Lisa Carroll is getting married on Labor day. We have been celebrating all weekend long. These pics are from her Bridal Luncheon. Congrats Lisa and Kyle!
Shout out to Emily and the Butterfly Garden Cafe. The food is always amazing!
