Great American Blog Friday

Fourth of July 2004

Did I ever happen to mention that I am American??  No?  Oh, well, I am.  And in a bit of patriotism, I would like to highlight a few American Expat Bloggers who are here in the UK.  Show them a bit of Blogger Love and learn a few things about life as an Expat.

• Erin at American Mom in England has a lovely post about her son Nicholas’ Nativity play and what he may or may not have worn.  Did you know that at public schools in the US, there are no NATIVITY plays as there’s a separation of church and state…no God or Jesus…only Santa.  They have Christmas programmes instead.
• Melaina25 is Transatlantic Blonde who’s impending arrival, at 38 Weeks is the size of a leek!  Interesting.  I love finding characters like Melaina25!
• Kat blogs at 3 Bedroom Bungalow and has a touching post to share about The Fear.  Show her some support…2010 will be a challenging year for her.
• Noble Savage has been blogging successfully for a while now but I never knew she was an American expat in London!  Her post about the recession is an eye opener for those of us who think we’ve got it rough!
• Tanya can be found at Random Musings from a Pregnant American in London.  Guess what?  She’s a Pregnant American in London!  She’s got some great posts about the differences between the US & UK when pregnant.  Great stuff here.
• Finally, the fair Susanna, A Modern Mother, amongst other things, has turned British Parent Blogging into a firestorm of press coverage and PR attention.  Who’d have thought that an American from California would make the whole of the UK take notice of parent bloggers?  Well done you!

There you have it for this week!  6 of my fellow Americans for your reading pleasure.  Great New Blog Friday will return in the New Year!  Have a very Happy Christmas everyone.
