Hey all! We've been up and running for a month now and haven't fallen into the normal bump bmb rhythm. I was thinking of stealing the *read first* post from Oct22 and getting some regular threads going, but didn't want to unilaterally make that decision.
Thoughts? For my part, I think the various daily check in posts are fun ways to talk about all kinds of things and get to know each other better.
Thanks for starting this thread @portentosa!! I've been thinking it was time to get organized. My past bmb also pinned a spreadsheet with everyone's DD, sn, and other info on it.

@scoutkate I'm in the same boat. I was active on January 2013 and September 2014 with my first two and I love those types of threads.
@tamalahoops I love that idea. My Sept14 board had something similar.

I know I've just started chiming in on this board, but I've been lurking for a while and would love some organization! I loved all the weekly threads during my brief time on another bmb. I'm happy to help get some started if we want to go this route!
