Gluten Free Twitter Party

Gluten Free Twitter Party

The Gluten Free Twitter Party is TODAY!! There are three panel discussions and tons of prizes to win, so follow the #gfree hashtag to participate. Good options to follow a hashtag are search.twitter.com, tweetchat.com or tweetdeck.com (the last one is a desktop client).

This party has been created and organized by Bonnie at Autism Family Adventures in honor of her birthday, so be sure to thank her and wish her a happy birthday!

The start date of the 31 Days to Build a Better Blog challenge has been moved to April 6th, so there is still time to sign up for the emails. In the meantime, Darren recommends doing a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) on your blog.

Root & Sprout


The April edition of Root & Sprout, the monthly webzine for gentle, hands-on parenting, is up now and there are some great articles this month (as always)! There are also several giveaways, which you have until April 8th to enter.

Gluten Free Twitter Party

Bonnie Sayers, who brought us the awesome Autism Twitter Day back in December, is celebrating her birthday on April 3rd by organizing a Gluten Free Twitter Party.

The hashtag to be used is #gfree, and Bonnie has lots of information on ways to follow the conversation in her RSVP post, which also has a Mr. Linky where you can put in your Twitter ID to sign up.

There will be three panel discussions throughout the day, with prizes given out during those times. The party is not just about being gluten free, but will include other food allergies and intolerances as well. Some of the topics to be discussed are:

  • preparing lunches for school
  • implementing a diet or lifestyle change with the whole family
  • how to handle birthday parties, school parties, holidays, visiting relatives
  • how to inform other parents at school if contamination is a life threatening issue
  • where to get recipes
  • how to cook from scratch
  • which sites sell the mixes and other food related products

I was frankly amazed at the amount of information shared during the first twitter party Bonnie hosted, and at how well organized it was, and I am greatly looking forward to this one. Another bonus is getting to connect with other Twitterers who are also dealing with special diets in their lives. So go RSVP today!!

Autism Twitter Day Recap

Autism Twitter Day

I had so much fun Tuesday on Autism Twitter Day, even though I wasn’t able to really participate until after my little guy was in bed. This was the first time I had followed a hashtag conversation (it was #asd), so that was a new experience as well.

PF Anderson of Emerging Technologies Librarian wrote about it and put together a slideshow with some highlights. I even won a prize – I’ll definitely post about it after we try them out!

The best part about the day for me was the opportunity to connect with so many other individuals, parents and professionals whose lives are impacted by autism. I followed everybody I could from the RSVP page although I haven’t had a chance to check out their blogs/sites yet.

Huge thank yous and kudos to Bonnie Sayers from Autism Family Adventures for creating and masterminding this awesome event!

For those of you who took part, what did you think about Autism Twitter Day? And if you’re visiting me from Twitter, please leave me a comment so I can return the visit!
