Meet the Blogging Boomers
If you are new to Fabulous after 40, you will start to notice that each week we write a post that has links to a Blogging Boomers Carnival. What’s a Blogging Carnival? Well, it is a group of bloggers who blog on a variety of lifestyle topics that are all “Boomer” related. Each week one blogger from the group acts as “the host” and puts up all of the blog posts up on their site.
This week it’s our turn to host. We’re thrilled to introduce you to each of our Blogging buddies, so you can see who they are and what they write about!
