My mom and her husband run their own business as artisans.  They sell glass and copper pieces, mostly hummingbird feeders.  It's really beautiful stuff.

My mom surprised me a few weeks ago by announcing to me that they'd started a blog.  She wanted to know what words of wisdom I had to offer, so I sent her to Scott Hanselman's 32 Ways to Keep your Blog from Sucking.

So, now I'm confused about the nature of blogging.  Does it mean that blogging is no longer cool when your mom starts to do it?  :)

Seriously, though.  If you're shopping for a unique gift or you just like hummingbirds, please do check out my mom and step-dad's shop and blog.
