Summer Guest Posts Wanted!

I'm going to be gone quite a bit this summer, and I'm not sure how much I'll be able to post while I'm away. With everything I'll have going on, I'm guessing there is not much chance I'll get around to scheduling posts for over 3 weeks. So I'm hoping some of you can help me out by writing a guest post for me!

Here's what I'm looking for:

• Thankful Thursday posts. Can having anything to do with gratitude, giving thanks, something specific you're thankful for, or, well, you have the idea. I post these every week, and sometimes they're more of a list, like THIS, and sometimes they're about something more specific, like THIS.
• Summer related posts. I'm pretty open here, but some ideas include: recipes, summer party ideas, seasonal craft projects, summer activities for kids and families, or pretty much whatever else you can come up with. 
• Travel posts. This could be about your own summer vacation plans, being a tourist in your own town, or family travel tips.

Guest posts would go live sometime during the following date ranges:

• July 6 - July 13
• July 22 - August 8

Ideally, I would love to have the posts by July 1st, so that I'll have plenty of time to look them over and schedule them. If this is a problem for you, talk to me and we'll try to work something out. Pictures are welcome, as well as links back to your blog and a short bio at the end of the post. I am definitely open to other ideas for post topics, besides what I have listed above. I'd prefer to receive the posts in HTML format so that I can just easily copy and paste. I like to keep the blog's content at a PG rating, so no profanity please.

If being a guest writer on MichiGal is something you might be interested in, please contact me so we can work out the details. You can reach me via comments on this post, Twitter, Facebook, or email -  see the links in the top right sidebar. Thank you!
