Blogs by and about teens and adults with Down syndrome

So life has been keeping me busy - too busy to blog! But I did do a guest blog post on A Perfect Lily - check it out if you have time and let me know what you think about it.

I also have had the thought in the back of my mind that I should put together a list of blogs by and about teens and adults with Down syndrome.  So, I've finally started! I'd love to hear from any friends or bloggers with other good blogs to add to the list!
