Massive Blog Round-up (Part 2)

....Continuing on with part 2 of our massive mailbox clean-up, here are blogs that were sent in from December 2016 - May 2014. If some of these are duplicates, my apologies! It's growing increasingly difficult to shuffle through our extensive blogroll. Now that the mailbox is all cleaned up, feel free to send any suggestions to us via nepablogs@gmail.com. We would also love to connect with you on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/nepabloggers/


Tim Maloney
https://maloneyofnepa.com/
Tim Maloney is a 20-something queer Muslim based out of the Wyoming Valley. As an activist and blogger, he has a passion for advocating nonviolence, sex positivity, and social justice. Tim graduated from Keystone College with a BA in Communication Arts & Humanities. In 2016, he received the Best Life Blog award at NEPA BlogCon’s Blog of the Year Awards. Maloney was also the 2017 recipient of the Susan Merrill Constance Kozel Award by the Interfaith Resource Center for Peace and Justice in Wilkes-Barre.

Deadicatedfans.com
http://deadicatedfans.com
Michael writes "I lived in West Pittston, PA most of my life before moving to DuPont, and now Forty Forty, PA. It's a website dedicated to die-hard fans of sports, movies, gaming or comics, with plans to expand into tech and music."

Oat and Sesame
Emily writes "My kitchen adventures take place in sunny Flagstaff, Arizona. By day, I’m a staff member at Northern Arizona University. My free time is spent cooking, gardening, enjoying the great outdoors + squeezing kitties! Oat&Sesame is a place to share recipes, promote conversation and conjure up some creative inspirations!" Emily wrote to us back in August of 2016. At the time she lived in Northeast PA (Scranton), it seems that she's taken her adventures on the road to Arizona!

Jenny Kile's Kardects and Mysterious Writings
Jenny has been a huge lifesaver with helping plan NEPA BlogCon over the last few years and she even did a few guest posts on our blog. The Kardtects blog focuses on creative ways to build structures (read: paper cards!) and her Mysterious Writings blog is about the art of treasure hunting.

Waverly Community House Archives
From the mailbag: "My name is Gia Reviello and I am the Comm Classroom & Archive Director at the Waverly Community House. I stumbled upon your website while searching for blogs in the NEPA area and thought it was a great resource! I started the Waverly Community House Archive Blog in February of 2016 and was wondering if you would take a look at it? I am attempting to gain more general interest and get the word out there to those interested in local history." As of this writing, the WCH Archive blog is still going strong!

Amy Fedele's Bullzeye Design & Pretty Purple Door
Amy lives in Old Forge, original from Moscow (North Pocono). Bullzeye Design focuses on small business startup and entrepreneur tips and tutorials. Pretty Purple Door is her DIY / Home Renovation blog.
 
Luke and Life
Luke writes "I'm from Union Dale PA.  I've just recently began following your page on fb, and have been reading some of the featured blogs.  I plan to attend the NEPA BlogCon this year.  I'd love for you to check out my blog." This blog appears to be mostly dead, but I'm linking it in the hopes that Luke will find his way back to blogging.
 
Henry Smith's Cottage
"A blog about photography with occasional rants on life"
Sadly, there hasn't been any activity on this blog since 2016. Come back! Blogging misses you! 

Victorian Wanna Be
Another abandoned blog, but there is so much charm in what is posted, that I couldn't help but to link it. "I work for a local Estate Sale and Garage Sale Company and have way too much fun with that! In my free time I enjoy going to auctions and searching Antique malls and flea markets for Victorian treasures. I am constantly trying to "Victorianize" my 1989 home with these treasures. I love to decorate, create vignettes and enjoy staging photos."

Berks Plastic Surgery
Dr. Reedy's is a plastic surgeon in Berks County. If you're looking into having work done, check out this blog for more information. *though TECHNICALLY Berks County wouldn't be considered NEPA*

C.T. Sneak
Chelsea writes "I was wondering if my blog might be able to be added to NEPA Blogs. I'm a new blogger, and I'm apprehensive to say that my blog is political. I write about what I think about current politics, but my underlining concern is social justice." This blog is still very much active.

Sally Black's Vacationing Blogs
Sally Black, much like Jenny Kile (her blog is linked above), was a TREMENDOUS lifesaver for NEPA BlogCon over the years. She works primarily as a travel agent and has traveled far and wide. She knows a thing or two about vacationing with your family and has even published a book about it. She also spoke at NEPA BlogCon 2016 and has also helped along the way with guest posts. 

The University of Scranton SBDC Blog
The University of Scranton Small Business Development Center (SBDC) provides educational programs and no cost, confidential consulting services to entrepreneurs looking to start a small business or grow an existing small business in Bradford County, Lackawanna County, Monroe County, Pike County, Susquehanna County, Tioga County, Wayne County, and Wyoming County in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania French
"Re-Painted, Re-Purposed, Re-loved"
Pamela writes "If Mt Bethel counts as NE PA, would you consider adding my blog to your list?"
 
Brandon Lipani's Blog & Podcast
As you can tell from the titles of both the blog and podcast, the focus is technology driven.

And lastly series of Northeast PA authors with blogs....

“Giving History a Heartbeat” by Cindy Noonan, author of Dark Enough to See the Stars, soon to be published by Helping Hands Press: http://www.CindyNoonan.com

“Penned Without Ink” by Sarah Lynn Phillips, http://www.SarahLynnPhillips.com

“BUT-Kickers: Growing Your Faith Bigger Than Your ‘BUT!” by Sherry Boykin, http://www.SherryBoykin.com


That's it kids, the current mailbox is now at 0! I promise I won't allow it to get that out of control again!

Massive Blog Round-up (Part 1)

It's been a while since I've posted here. I'm not going to lie, I miss it a lot. Job commitments were the primary reason that I've stayed away as long as I have. Now that I have more time and freedom on my hands, I figured I'd ease in slowly by going through our mailbag which has been neglected for a while. I'm going to do this in two parts because there are a ton of unanswered emails to contend with. If you have emailed us, fear not! The email is still sitting (likely unanswered) in our inbox. I will be getting to it shortly! Without further ado....part 1 of my inbox clean-up.


Chris Bohinski's NYC Smile 4 Me
https://www.nycsmile4me.com
NYC Smile 4 Me's mission is to spread happiness, positivity, and joy by chronicling Boh the Smile Guy asking the same 4-word question to everyone he meets,“What makes you smile?” Chris (AKA "Boh the Smile Guy") currently lives in Wilkes-Barre Township (despite the NYC title of the blog) and has been featured on PA Live! and also in the Healthbeat segment with Mark Hiller.

Anthracite Unite
https://anthraciteunite.com
Anthracite Unite is a collective of working class scholars, artists, and activists from Pennsylvania’s Anthracite Coal Region. We’re focused on mending divisions within the working class and reimagining what is possible.

Henning's Local
www.henningslocal.com
This isn't really a blog, it's more of a website and it's TECHNICALLY in New York, but they have some cool stuff going on that they wanted to inform you about through us. So if you are vacationing or looking for something different to do that's within a short drive of Northeast PA, be sure to check them out. From the email: "Each week Henning’s Local will be screening favorite films about mothers, from the unforgettable evil villains to classic characters who stole our hearts. In addition to our regular menu, we will be offering a prix fixe meatloaf dinner, and blue-plate specials at the bar. Bring mom, and her dinner is on Henning. #eatlocal #momsmeatloaf"

No Time For Wine
https://notimeforwine.com
Brenda writes "I am originally from Susquehanna County and have been working on my blog www.notimeforwine.com  It documents my move from Single Mommy working a full time job, to now Married Stay at Home Mommy adjusting to my new life." 

NACL Theater
https://www.nacl.org/
Tannis Kowalchuk painstakingly includes NEPA Blogs on all of her press releases for the NACL Theater productions, some of which look very interesting. This is another one of those "not blog" submissions, but I feel guilty for not having given her a mention before. NACL (National Americal Cultural Laboratory) is a non-profit theater company in the southwestern Catskill region. If you are in the area or passing through, it's worth checking out.

Here's to Happy Endings
http://www.herestohappyendings.com
Kelly writes "I'm from northeast PA and have a book focused blog that I thought might be neat to have listed on your site! I've had the blog going since June of 2015, and it's updated pretty much daily and has a decent following. It features book reviews, discussions, giveaways, and other book and reading related things."

The Green Dish
http://www.thegreendishblog.com
Welcome! I'm Caroline, the blog's author and I've been struggling for the past few months with the decision of becoming vegan after watching a few documentaries (Food Inc, Forks Over Knives and Vegucated), and the more I think about it, I know the best decision for me is to become vegan. Changes are not easy and that's why I decided to create this blog as a way to encourage not only myself but also others, to share my journey throughout this new year and new lifestyle. I'll be sharing many vegan recipes and I hope you'll join me here at The Green Dish - One Healthy Dish at a Time!

I Heart Direct Sales
http://iheartdirectsales.blogspot.com/
Rebecca wrote me and asked if I would include her blog in our blogroll last March (as in 2017). Eeek! Sorry, Rebecca, I'm bad at emails. After revisiting this blog, it appears to have been abandoned. Who knows, maybe she'll pick it back up after seeing this post.

Lovely In Gold
https://lovelyingold.com
Kelli writes "I am a NEPA fashion and lifestyle blogger and would love to submit my blog to your site. My blog is called Lovely in Gold."

Mark's Bike Tock
http://marksbiketock.blogspot.com/

I ride 3000+ miles per year and so far have been on over 70 trails across 9 states. I ride in temperatures from 10 degrees F to 105 degrees F."



That is the inbox from March 2018 back through January 2017. Tomorrow, we'll dig even further back in time!

From the Mailbag: Pocono Talk

I received an email from Andrea Kimes, one of the founders & contributors to the "Pocono Talk" blog. 

http://www.poconotalk.com

(from the sidebar of the website)
 
What Is Pocono Talk?

From the Mailbag: My Invisible Camera

We received this email a few months ago and I accidentally misplaced it! My apologies to Tanya for the delay in writing about her blog. 




My name is Tanya King and my blog is www.myinvisiblecamera.com. I joined the NEPAblogs Facebook group a few weeks ago and have been very happy with the sense of community. I only just looked at the website and was wondering if I could have my blog linked here as well? Thank you very much for all your efforts. It's really nice to see a healthy community of bloggers growing strong in NEPA.

Thanks again,
Tanya


From Tanya's words:  "My invisible camera is a personal evolution of how I capture moments. When I first began this blog I was a photographer first and foremost. After being diagnosed with lupus I began to explore different ways to ‘save’ moments. I equate this blog to being ‘my invisible camera’–a way for me to take a snapshot of something amazing/brilliant/dear to me, whether with photographs or words, preserve it in all its glory, and share it here."  Tanya really does have some beautiful photos of her family on the blog and her Instagram. You can read more on her about page, or follow her on Twitter.

You too can join our NEPA Bloggers group on Facebook to network with others from the local blogosphere.


Speaking of networking....do you have cabin fever? Restless for Friday?

Why not head out to the Vintage Happy Hour happening tonight from 5-8pm at Trax Platform Lounge?  For more details and to RSVP, check out the Facebook event page.

Let Me Eat Cake

Megan Baringer is new to Northeast PA.  She moved here last May and is looking for some camaraderie from other local lifestyle bloggers.

Mailbag Round-up

It's no secret I've been neglecting my duties on this blog for quite a while.  With more responsibilities in my work and personal life comes less free time.  I'm hoping to turn it around with better time management.  Harold and I have talked about devising an editorial calendar so that the blog is not neglected for long periods of time.  Please accept our apologies for lack of posts!

We've received a ton of email with new blog additions and I figured it would just be easiest to lump them into one post to play catch up.

Email #1:


Hello. Was wondering how to get my blog registered on your awesome site?

From the Mailbag: The Lake Region Something

Happy Labor Day NEPA!  We all know that blogging can be a "labor" of love and one of our bloggers just started a third....you read that correctly....third blog!

NB-
I have a new monthly blog/online magazine titled THE LAKE REGION SOMETHING at http://lakeregion.blogspot.com/.

The LAKE REGION SOMETHING is for those who live in the region and those who visit, or would like to visit, the region.

It will feature lots of interesting "stuff" on entertainment and popular culture, taxes and personal finance, travel, etc, etc, etc, as well as information on local events and activities.

Please pay us a visit.

From the Mailbag: Pocono Record Blogs

We received this message earlier this week from a reporter at the Pocono Record Newspaper.

Hi,
I’m  a reporter here at the Pocono Record who also handles digital matters. We have some great recurring blogs by local folks that I was hoping you could pick up and add to your site. One focuses on running, the other on weddings and another on Pike County. Let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks.

These are our most frequently updated blogs:

Running the Poconos

Yesterday’s Photos (Vintage and archival images of Monroe County)


Pocono Wedding Talk


 I like Pike


Camilo H. Smith
Reporter

Michael Sadowski also had a popular blog at the Pocono Record called "Pop Rox" which has recently slipped into our 3+-Months-since-last-update blogroll.  This blog fell to the wayside after he left the newspaper and area (he and his wife appear to be working from the Harrisburg area now).  Hopefully, these new blogs will fill the void that Michael left behind.

Enjoy, and happy Sunday.

From the Mailbag: PA Media Board

This was message board was originally linked to on October 23, 2011 by Gort, but I'm reposting it again.

Bob Quarteroni: I had a blog site for a while but shut it down when it got to be nothing but flames and insults.  It focused on NEPA media. I just saw that nepamedia proboards has been shut down.  Add that to the fact that Joe Butkiewicz was ousted/quit at the TL today and I have a personal thing going with him, I'm going to restart it.

 It's http://pamedia.proboards.com and if you could mention/list it that would be great. Any questions you can always reach me here. Thanks in advance. Bob Q

Unfortunately, Bob doesn't know the different between a message board/forum and a "blog site".  He's running a message board...not a blog site.  At any rate, in light of the NEPA Media boards being shut down, I figured this would be worth mentioning....again.

I've been watching this site for several years and it's never gone anywhere.  Maybe now it will finally take off.

Good luck and happy flaming.  Play nice kids.

From the Mailbag: 3 from Tom McGuire

This morning, we have three new blogs to share with you from Tom McGuire of Scranton

Hello,

I write several blogs and was wondering if I could get one or all of them listed on your page.

Some are for commercial purposes but it did not look like that was an issue when I saw your page.

Here are a list of my blogs

I talk a lot about bullying, weight loss, confidence and things along those lines.  If you ever wanted to be a guest blogger feel free to let me know.

Thanks,
Tom

Welcome to the blogroll, Tom!  If you'd like to tip us off to a new blog in the area, drop a line to nepablogs@gmail.com.

From the Mailbag: Iron Reels Review

Some time ago we received this message in the e-mailbag:

Hi,
I've recently started a blog reviewing underground films from NEPA & the surrounding areas,
as well as posting info about various local film shows / events.  Could you add us to the NEPA
blog listing?  http://ironreelsreview.wordpress.com/

Thanks,
Kyle Rebar

It's taken a while, but we're finally posting the link!

Iron Reels Review

I actually had the opportunity to meet Kyle at last month's Third Thursday Open Mic Poetry Night at the Vintage in Scranton, presented by the Northeastern Pennsylvania Writers' Collective. (The next one is coming up June 20 - the last day of Spring! - so be ready.) Kyle writes more about the blog in the introductory post:

…The Iron Reels Review is the brainchild of Scrantonite camera-toting madmen Kevin Vogrin & Kyle Rebar, who curate film shows and work on a myriad of artistic projects.
We’re looking to review films from the Scranton area and abroad.  We’ll review any genre, but we especially enjoy experimental films.  Some of our favorites are Kenneth Anger, ‘Eraserhead,’ ‘Clockwork Orange,’ Mike & George Kuchar, Monty Python & The Holy Grail, Dancer in the Dark, Shadow of a Doubt.
We’ll accept DVDs or web links.  Send submissions with a log line and contact info to krebar@m.marywood.edu. 
Kevin and Kyle just started this blog a few months ago, but already have numerous reviews and movie clips on the site. Head on over to the Iron Reels Review and see what it's all about!

From the mailbag: I Choose A Clean World

Nicole Karr from Springhouse Shop and Studios recently sent us a suggestion for a new blog she discovered:

Please visit our new site. In our continued effort  to protect our world:
  
I Choose a Clean World site has been developed:
Choose to take this action. Choose a clean world.
 http://ichoosecleanworld.wordpress.com/
I Choose A Clean World is a project of the Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition (GDAC), Luzerne County, PA.

In a world where finite energy resources are dwindling, and methods use to extract the little that is left is causing more harm than good, GDAC is taking steps to make people aware of real sustainable energy.

Each of us needs to make a choice – to continue down the path of dirty fossil fuels, or to stand up and choose a clean world.

We can clean up our world, the first step is in choosing to do so.

 GDAC Team

Take a moment to breathe in the fresh air and then check out "I Choose a Clean World" which is now added to our sidebar.

From the Mailbag: Indraloka Animal Sanctuary Blog

Another day, another mailbag entry.  It seems that between our PA Live! BOTW segments, BlogFest and my recent appearance on ComputerWise TV, we have been getting a lot more attention than normal.  We are reaching people that may have not otherwise known our Blog was out there.

Today's letter comes from an Animal Sanctuary blogger in Wyoming County:


Indraloka Animal Sanctuary is home to over 150 animals who were sentenced to death or lives of pain and misery and had no where to turn before they were saved and given the gift of a peaceful forever home.  Indra Lahiri, the santuary founder, blogs many of their stories here: 


Some are sad and some are full of hope, but all are touching and relay the mission of Indraloka Animal Sanctuary.

We would love for more people in Northeastern Pennsylvania to be aware of the sanctuary and its purpose.

Thank you for your consideration!

-Jeanie
Indraloka Animal Sanctuary Volunteer

From the Mailbag: The Slavic Kitchen

Here's a letter we received today for a new blog focusing on Eastern European cooking:

Hello! I am venturing out into the wide world of Blogging and looking to network with locals. I was wondering if you could help me out by listing me, or helping me introduce myself?
My website is www.theslavickitchen.com
I intend to use it to list and experiment with eastern European cuisine as it were, also known as 'local favorites' :) I may even use it to drum up support to open my own foodservice business of some sort. Its not entirely all tidied up yet, but I should have just about everything where I want it within the week. Thanks!
-Deb

I can't wait to see what kind of recipes Deb will have to share with us.  Keep checking back for more updates!

From the Mailbag: Mommy & Me: Finding and Losing Myself in Motherhood

TIPSTER:  Our Pal, Your Pal, APal


I received an email at work from Andy that pointed me to a new "Mommy Blogger".  From the original email:

My reticent wife joined Facebook and started blogging on WordPress a mere 3 weeks ago, and she's already friends with FB's COO Sheryl Sandberg and had a blog post on her "Lean In"  book go viral and get on CNN's homepage because Sandberg posted it on her FB page with this ringing endorsement:
"Of all of the things that have been written about Lean In, this post is one of my favorites. Thank you, Jennifer, for understanding that the point of Lean In is for each of us to make deliberate choices about what is right for us, and then go after our goals ambitiously and unapologetically. Your example is a great example for women of going through that process and making the best choice for them. Thank you for leaning in to your goals - and sharing your thoughts with all of us."
Cool story, no?  
More info can be found here: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/evolutionary-entertainment/201304/why-my-wife-is-bloggings-rookie-the-year
-Barry Kuhle


Personally, I've always had a pet peeve with the term "Mommy Blogger".  Just because you are a Mom who blogs, doesn't necessarily mean you are a "Mommy Blogger".  There are a bunch of Moms out there that blog about things other than Mommyhood.  Jenny's blog delves into this theory more deeply, as discussed in her about section:


I love, love, love being a mother and all that it entails. I love it so much that it oozes out the tips of my fingers and the ends of my hair. Aside from marrying my wonderful husband, I have experienced no greater joy in life than becoming a mommy to my baby girl in 2009 and my baby boy in 2012. But I am coming to realize that there is danger in defining ourselves primarily through and by our children. Do I really want motherhood to encapsulate all that I am? Does that mean that I have lost part of myself? What about that person I used to be before I was a mother? I truly have found myself in motherhood, but I am also losing myself in it, and this blog is my attempt to find myself again.

You can follow along with Jenny's journey through her blog located at:

From the Mailbag: The Last Dinosaur

We received another mailbag entry last Tuesday for a new poetry blog.  Check it out:


Hello:


     My name is Dean Robbins.  I have recently begun a blog, under the advice of an author/publisher who is familiar with current publishing trends, to showcase my original poetry.  It is titled "The Last Dinosaur" and can be found at dfrobbins.blogspot.com.  Please feel free to add my blog to your current listings.  Thank you for your time and consideration.

Dean Robbins

According to the first post, the name "The Last Dinosaur" is due to Dean's avoidance of the use of technology.  From the author's mouth:  "...I proudly referred to myself as a Luddite, refusing to join the rest of the world in its excitement over what seemed to be daily innovations in our rush to achieve the inevitable conclusions of our most foreboding science fiction"

Stop by the Last Dinosaur and deliver some words of encouragement to Dean for joining the 21st century :)

Also.....
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

From the mailbag: Abingtonian Adventures

Today's blog addition comes to us from Jennifer Deinlein, a NEPA transplant originally from SouthCentral PA. Jennifer is using her blog "Abingtonian Adventures" to document her adventures as a new NEPA resident and equally new mommy-to-be, as well as the not-so-new adventures in freelance writing and other activities.

http://abingtonianadventures.blogspot.com

Hello!
 
I have recently started a blog called "Abingtonian Adventures." My husband and I are fairly new to NEPA, now living in South Abington Twp., and I like alliteration. :-)
 
I blog about getting to know NEPA, organizing our house, being a new mommy-to-be, freelance writing, and anything else I deem "adventure." I'd really appreciate being listed on your blog!
 
Thank you!
Jennifer


Jennfer's "adventures" could be as simple as going on a drive or organizing her house.  They could also be complex like adapting to a new area or preparing for a new baby.  We are glad to add "Abington Adventures" to our blog roll and hope that you'll take a moment to follow along with these adventures on her blog!

From the Mailbag: Blogs by Robert Flach

Good morning!  We hope that you all had a wonderful holiday. It's back to business here at NEPA Blogs.  We had email submission with several new blogs that we'd like to share with you - especially timely since tax season is looming right around the corner!

Dear NEPA Blogs-
I recently moved from Jersey City NJ to Hawley PA (after having come to this area in the summer for almost 50 years) - and am especially happy I moved when I did because of SANDY.
 I have been writing the popular tax blog THE WANDERING TAX PRO (http://wanderingtaxpro.blogspot.com/) since June of 2011.  It provides advice, information, and resources on federal income taxes and is written for the average middle and upper-middle class taxpayer.  I also write the blog THE TAX PROFESSIONAL (http://thetaxprofessional.blogspot.com/) for professional tax preparers.
 I would like these blogs to be considered for inclusion in the NEPA Blogs.
Thank you and Merry Christmas

All of these blogs will be listed in the side bar for your reading pleasure.  If you are new to the area and would like us to list your blog, send us an email at nepablogs@gmail.com!

From the Mailbag: Mug Mouth

From the mailbag this morning, we have a new blog offering out of Monroe County.  It is called "Mug Mouth".



http://mug-mouth.com






Hello,
         My name is Jay, I live in Stroudsburg, PA, and I have a crime blog. I was wondering what I have to do to get listed on NEPA Blogs? The site address is http//:mug-mouth.com. Any information you could provide would be helpful.

Thank you! Jay Watt

What is Mug Mouth?  Here is what the About section had to say....

They say a picture says a thousand words. Sometimes that is not enough, and that is were I come in. Over 2 million people are incarcerated in the United States. All of those people have had their mugshots taken. I am going to make fun of all of them one mugshot at a time. Please enjoy this page and take it for what it is worth… nothing.
Mug Mouth was the brainchild of months of Facebook posts identifying and then analyzing interesting mug shots from around the country.  After encouragement from friends and family, Mug-Mouth.com became a reality.

It's an interesting concept and the first blog of it's kind in this area. It kind of reminds me of The Smoking Gun website.  Head on over and check out Mug Mouth, and get a chuckle at a criminal's expense.
