In the Land of Swaying Green Grass and Wildflowers

This line is the opening line to one of Eva’s favorite books, or at least to the audio book version that she listens to every night. Eva loves Nana Star. Nana Star is a book that I received in 2008 from Elana Patrice of Laugh Friendly. The book was to be the first in a series of Nana Star and her friends as they help Nana help a baby star return to the heavens. Sadly I don’t think there will be any more Nana Star books. It looks like the laugh friendly site is now a blog and then the Nana Star shop site is not working. I’ve tried to contact the company but have heard nothing. It is sad too because these are such wonderful books with great life lessons for kids and they included CDs with songs. I even reviewed the two books that were published in the series: Nana Star and Nana Star and the Moonman over at Read To Me, Dad (remember that blog that I have and update so infrequently).

I keep saying that I will start updating that again. It seems that I really should do it because I’m getting recognized as a Daddy Blogger more and more. Although I don’t do too much Daddy stuff other than talk about our lives on this blog. Oh and take cute photos of my little Eva. I’ve pretty much included every other blog into this one, why not pull in Read To Me, Dad as well and then I can throw up a video of me reading to Eva and reviewing the book every once in a while. I was told way back when that if I wanted to make money blogging I needed to have various niche blogs and so I started to separate the different facets of me into separate blogs. I think it is time to bring some more back into the fold.

This blog here, this is me and everything I like: Good, Bad or Indifferent it is a part of me and I don’t think I should continue to separate those parts. I’m not sure, but we shall see what I decide. I do know that I won’t be bringing over “I’m Not A Famous Blogger” into this blog, that is starting to spark up with new life as I have opened it up to interviews with anyone who would like to be interviewed. That blog has a clear purpose to highlight other bloggers.

I joined up with the affiliate program that John Chow just launched for his new Blog Profit Camp. John Chow makes more money each month than most people do in an entire year. And he’s also one hell of a nice guy. I’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with him many times at conferences and he’s the real deal. You can download John Chow’s new ebook today, the new camp starts on June 29th. Get a jump on it today with the new 60 page ebook.

  1. Drew, I’d love to participate in an I’m not a famous blogger interview. Also as for a book why wouldn’t you do one based on the interviews you’ve conducted over there. Thre is some good content that can be repurposed and used for a book.

    1. Kevin,
      I’m thinking more about a children’s book than an overall book however maybe write something, who knows. I’ll send you the questions for the I’m Not A Famous Blogger site. Thanks.

  2. Hi Dino,
    You’ve dropped a comment here before. Sort of similar to this very comment. Thanks for the offer to do guest posts. I don’t do them on this blog but I could interview you for I’m Not A Famous Blogger. Send me an e-mail and I’ll send you the questions.
