Resource Round-up: Wednesday May 21, 2008

Today I’m going to stray a little bit from the normal kind of articles I include in our weekly Resource Round-up. While I’ve got a couple of cool fundraising-related sites for you to check out, I’ve also listed a number of fun articles I’ve discovered on blogs about parenting, motherhood, and fatherhood. Seeing as how I have four kids myself, I need all the help I can get!

I hope you enjoy!

First up, check out this fun video of Melissa over at USA Fundraising showing us all how to make the world’s best fundraising cookies. It’s definitely worth a look.

I also want to call attention to the great news that Marc Pitman’s (aka The Fundraising Coach) new book “Ask Without Fear” has just been listed for sale at Amazon. Take a peek, here.

Over at AllTop, I discovered a great blog called The Principal’s Page, written by a very funny school principal. Check out this article called “What’s a Twitter, and Should I Be Playing with it?” which is about learning how to cope with all these new Internet technologies without losing your mind. Here’s a quote from the post: “As I finish this blog, my wife is Twittering and my daughter is Skyping her grandmother. I am so confused. And my head hurts.”

Just recently, we here at Top School Fundraisers wrapped up our blog contest that had the theme of “My Favorite Teacher”. It’s fitting then, that I just came across an entire blog devoted to the subject. It’s called the Teacher Appreciation Blog, and it’s published in the UK. It’s a terrific site with some great articles. Check it out!

I have also recently become aware of a great blog for dads, called The Rebel Dad. Since I left my job as a school principal, I have joined the ranks of both the telecommuting and the stay-at-home dads. Sites like The Rebel Dad help me keep my sanity!

Even though I’m not a mom, we have a lot of moms who read this site, and I’ve found a lot of great information from a collection of mother-related blogs. There’s a really funny article called the Grandparent’s Gift Guide over at the Inside Motherhood blog. Give it a read and have a laugh.

If you have a blog you would like to share with me, I would love to take a look. Please let me know what you’re up to. Thanks!
