Listable Life
Listable Life is a weekly meme where readers linkup list posts after choosing from two prompts. (see below) Listable Life will sometimes be introspective, sometimes silly and embarrassing (did you not see my pimpin’ blue glasses post? Ridiculous.) and they will be authentic and fun. It is my hope, that through this series, I’ll put more of myself into this blog, while learning more about my blog friends who link up and join in on the fun.
Here’s how it works – pick a prompt for the upcoming week (refer to dates below), write up your post by that Tuesday, grab this button and include it in your post so those reading consider joining in on the fun as well:
Which I totally made myself! **dusts off shoulder** I’m sure going to miss picnik, boo on Google..but I digress.
(You can also find the Listable Life button code on my sidebar)
Once your post is live, fill out the linky using the post url (not just your page url) here on my page – there will be a linky every Tuesday below my Listable Life post.
Then please leave a comment here and on one other linker’s page at some point so we can all get to know one another better!
When you tweet it, use the hashtag #ListableLife so we can all “see” one another and have the option to Retweet the posts.
Below you will find prompts options for upcoming weeks. The list will be regularly updated, so keep checking back to choose your prompts and fill in your calendars!
****Have a prompt idea? Email it to me at MTDLBlog@yahoo.com ~ I’ll make sure to credit you with a link back to your site if I use the idea!*****
Upcoming prompts for you to choose from include:
