This is your invitation to join the next Carnival of Breastfeeding!
For October our theme will be a little different than past carnivals. We're all going to write "This I believe" essays on topics related to breastfeeding and parenting.
This I Believe is a national project which encourages people to write personal statements of belief. Avid NPR listeners have probably heard some of these essays on the radio. Here's the project's description:
This I Believe is an international project engaging people in writing, sharing, and discussing the core values that guide their daily lives. These short statements of belief, written by people from all walks of life, are archived here and featured on public radio in the United States and Canada. The project is based on the popular 1950s radio series of the same name hosted by Edward R. Murrow.
As usual, we'll be looking for the following:
- Posts that are well written and grammatically correct
- Posts that are thoughtful and on topic
- For this month, posts that follow the "This I believe" essay format
- Posts from blogs that are on topics that are of interest to readers of breastfeeding blogs (parenting, breastfeeding, etc.)
Submissions are due by October 16th, and can be emailed to me. The Carnival will be held on October 23rd. You can see examples of past carnival posts under the category "Carnivals of Breastfeeding."
