Hello fellow IBOTees! How are you on this fine Tueday? (I’m hoping it’s fine. I actually wrote this on Monday night, so it’s being very positive of me isn’t it?)
The faithful among you (and by that I mean the people who read last weeks post), will know that I put the call out for some #IBOT help. Our humble little linky is growing, and I can’t be reading and commenting on each and every post each and every week.
Well, I’m more than delighted to say that six wonderful IBOT faithfuls, answered the call, and #TeamIBOT has been formed.
What does this mean? I hear you ask.
Not much is changing. IBOT will still be here, at Diary of a SAHM, every Tuesday, live at 6:30am EST.
But instead of receiving a comment from me each week, you may instead get one from the lovely ladies of #TeamIBOT.
I will still, of course, be reading and commenting, but may only get round to say 30, instead of all of you. I do love this little linky. I love the community and the people and the content. I think it is a wonderful place, and I’m excited that I can share that with all of you.
So today’s post is just a quick introduction to the wonderful ladies who will be visiting your blogs on my behalf.
Make sure you thank them and show them some love, just like they are showing you. 
(The get extra love from me for acting as if my autocorrect fail was totally normal.)
So here they are….
#teamIBOT
Whats your name: Denyse Whelan
Where do you blog: www.denysewhelan.com.au
Blog is called Denyse Whelan. Education Specialist.
Do you have a favourite topic: Education – it’s life long…
Do you believe in love at first site: Yes, and at first sight too…..LOL…I met my hub that way, 42 years next year…
Which cartoon character do you most identify with and why?: Oh, Jess I can’t answer that…OK… Marge Simpson.
If you could have a super power would would it be: To predict the future (only if it’s good news though)
What food would you never eat: Mashed up RIPE bananas
Finish this sentence: #IBOT is….to the blog world as the logies is to the world of TV
My name is Rachel and my blog is Redcliffe Style (www.redcliffestyle.com). I have only been blogging for 6 months and loving it.
My favourite topic? I don’t have one. I seem to talk about everything but it tends to be positive and maybe a little funny (hopefully).
Do I believe in love at first sight? Nope. Lust yes, but I think you have to know someone to love them. I think you can feel a special connection at first sight
My cartoon connection would have to be Katara from Last Airbender. She is kind and controls water. I control water too, with a dishwasher, washing machine etc. and I like to drink water so we have a bit in common.
If I had a super power is would be flying. I hate road trips and this will really help. I could go overseas at the drop of a hat. Travel the world over and over.
I would never eat dog.
#IBOT is a safe haven for bloggers to share.
Whats your name: The newly Mrs Yvette Bowyer (Delightfully Tacky Little Squirts)
Where do you blog: http://delightfullytackylilsquirts.blogspot.com
Do you have a favourite topic: I do like blogging about my bento lunches – though wish I was as creative as the mothers in Japan who make amazing lunches for their children! But I have been known to make a ham & cheese sandwich have that wow factor!
Do you believe in love at first site: I believe in love at first sight (my husband was mine – who can’t fall in love with a guy that packs up his life in Perth and moves to the UK to be with you after a 1 week holiday fling!!) – as for a site – There has been a few I’ve been stalking lately because I am in love with the way they are so open, honest and make me laugh, cry, smile and feel all squishy inside!
Which cartoon character do you most identify with and why?: Pre-Children/Husband I would definitely say Betty Boop – but that was in the UK where life was completely different from now. I definitely relate to myself more of a Lois Griffen with hidden talents that pop up every now and then while trying to keep together my mildly dysfunctional family!
If you could have a super power would would it be: To pull a $10 note out of my handbag when it is needed.
What food would you never eat: Cooked Fruit *in a pie, cake, muesli bar etc.
Finish this sentence: #IBOT is…. what encouraged me to blog regularly and build up my site! If it wasn’t for a regular linky I would probably still have only 1 follower (myself!). It has helped me find other small blogs to read and build friendships!
What’s your name: Lyndal
Where do you blog: http://familyofkillers.com
Do you have a favourite topic: life! at the moment there is a lot of fitness and organisation stuff, because those are some of my goals for the month… I foresee travel talk, more fitness, nutrition, marriage, babies, house buying, uni finishing, random talk writings happening in the future
Do you believe in love at first site: Yes! I’m such an introvert, and I feel like your heart knows. I fall too easily and love too hard – with every area in my life!
Which cartoon character do you most identify with and why?: spongebob square pants – he loves to laugh, takes pride in his work, is such a loyal friend, optimistic, energetic and a little bit naive.
If you could have a super power would would it be: the ability to move things with my eyes… Imagine, I’d never have to pick dirty clothes up off the floor again!
What food would you never eat: if you had asked me a few months ago it would have been calamari – then it got added to my 52 in 52 list and I did it. So now I’m gonna say…. Haggis. No way, no how. And no, it’s not going on next years list!
Finish this sentence: #IBOT is…. A warm and vibrant community – it gets me through my hardest working day of the week, and has been the start of some of my greatest online friendships!
My name is Chantel
I have been blogging for about 6 months, I am a bit hit and miss with consistency, but really hoping to get into this as a regular thing. My blog is currently www.pinkelephantsandlemonade.com , but I am in the process of having a blog makeover, so it will be www.bossymummy.com so my screen name for most things is BossyMummy.
At the moment, I tend to write about our life, hopefully in the future it will be about pregnancy and newborns and then ultimately I would love to blog about ‘play’ which as an OT is one of my passions.
Love at first sight???? – I think true love comes from friendship first……but there has to be an instant connection for that to develop.
Cartoon character – Lisa Simpson – I am a bit bossy, a bit of a know it all, with major insecurities and really just wants everyone to like me.
SuperPower – mind reading
Food I will never eat – coriander/cilantro – devil’s spawn! No way, now how
#Ibot is knowing my Tuesday is going to be filled with good quality writing to read within a supportive community.
Whats your name: Rhianna
Where do you blog: http://aparentinglife.blogspot.com.au/ primarily but also over at http://makingtimetomakeitmatter.blogspot.com.au/
Do you have a favourite topic: I tend to share a lot of my thoughts as I try to be the best me I can be. I am of course by no means even close to the best me I could be. But that is okay. It means I always have something to work towards. Goals are important. I know that but I can’t actually set ones that are both achievable and meaningful. I want my life, and all that I do to matter.
Do you believe in love at first site: Yes and yes, but love can also grow.
Which cartoon character do you most identify with and why?: I couldn’t really think of one. I asked my husband if he had a suggestion. He asked me to get back to him. When I got back to him he apparently still needed time. Cartoons aren’t really my thing.
If you could have a super power would would it be: Yes well if I had a super power it would be the power to chose any super power at any point in time if I so needed to. Because when talking super powers surely you should be able to pick and choose.
What food would you never eat: Do you know I honestly couldn’t think of one. Even after reading everyone else’s I still can’t think of one. I am pretty sure I can recall having haggis as a child. We had some very Scottish friends…
Finish this sentence: #IBOT is…. Awesome. That is all.
You’re turn now. IBOT is….

So lovely to “meet” all the lovely members of TeamIBOT!! Most of you are familiar, but there’s a couple of names/faces who I haven’t “met” – and look forward to checking out your blogs.
Debbie @ Aspiring Mum recently posted..Motherhood and The Empty Room.
They are lovely ladies, and definitely worth a read.
Hi Jess, I am so happy to be part of team IBOT. Rachel x
Rachel from Redcliffe Style recently posted..Looking for Gold nuggets and finding fools gold
I’m so happy to have you! I really appreciate your dedication in reading and commenting. Xxx
What a wonderful, supportive community you have created Jess! Team iBOT are some of my favourite bloggers – a great idea to help share the workload. I try to read all of the iBOT blogs each week but now it has become so big it is harder … a real shame as they all have so much to offer. No wonder iBOT is growing!
Misha @TheBlingBuoy recently posted..The unassuming geraniums
I really want ibot to be a community link, and not just my thing. There are so many wonderful bloggers, and they should all get a chance to shine. I love that Tuesday is providing that opportunity for them.
What a great little team you have there Jess!
I was waiting to see what autocorrect fail you were talking about and Lol’ed when I seen it.
Amy recently posted..So I want to be a 50′s housewife…
I didn’t even notice till they started emailing back!
Had to laugh at Yvette talking about blogs she loved at ‘first site’
Yay for Team IBOT!!! Lovely to see a couple of new faces in there – must get visiting! IBOT truly is awesome

Hellllloo Jess and #TeamIbot members,

Denyse Whelan Education Specialist recently posted..Writing The Truth.
We are so very happy to have you back Denyse! Xx
Damn, should have put in a real photo – but all the other women look fab in their photos and I really haven’t had a nice photo taken for the last few years. I will have to rectify that I think….hmm, now I think my whole post for today is going to change BRB
I’m planning on making a #teamIBOT page so if you want to email me, I’ll put your new pic in. Xx

Dear Baby G recently posted..Bad habits caught on Instagram
It is difficult! I find I don’t get round to anywhere near as many blogs during the week as I would like.
But we all understand.
OOh can I join your team too? Will force me to be a good commenter . . . great word right? hehehehe. Hope your having a delightful Tuesday and IBOT is awesome . . .duh!
Lauren @ The Surprise Beginning recently posted..My Motherhood Poem
Absolutely! If we have some more weeks like this week, I will need a few more helpers yet! I’ll keep you in mind for sure!
Trying to figure out why I missed last weeks post…. brain cells not answering my Q…
Hello Team iBOT!! *Waves*

miss.cinders recently posted..5 Things – That is my Life Right Now.
Ha ha! I hide in the toilet, not that it works!
If you want to be a part of the team, we may need to expand it soon. Especially of we have more weeks like this one! 60 links!
Hi and welcome team IBOT!
Miss Pink recently posted..The Unnoticed Blogger
Thanks Miss Pink! Xx
Great idea Jess!! Lovely to meet you all, Team IBOTers, especially those I haven’t met before

This is great! I missed your post last week Jess, but it’s good to see you getting some great people to help out
I love seeing how your #ibot and your blog in general has developed. You’re doing a good job xxx
Robyn (@slightly_deep) recently posted..It is time….
Thanks Robyn. I’m amazed at now this little link has grown, but my favourite thing about it is the sense of community. Such lovely people so generous with their time.
I think we are all really blessed.
Welcome Team iBOT! So nice of you to take on the challenge of the fastest growing link in the blogosphere
A special shootout to Chantel – I HATE coriander!!!!
Erin @ Eat Play Bond recently posted..Honey, It’s Just Not That Simple: A Case Study In Shoe Shopping
I hate coriander too! Worst herb Ebber!
what a gorgeous team! I love IBOT!
Mum’s the Word recently posted..Why Don’t You Learn to Bleat?
So Do I!xx
You are a victim of your success! Ha Ha! You know I’ve struggled to keep up these past couple of months so I totally get this. What a great idea and a lovely team! I’ll keep popping in and out when I can and try to do the linky justice!
Veronica @ Mixed Gems recently posted..“I’m not racist, but…..” – Let’s test your prejudice
Thanks Veronica. It’s hard to find the balance.
I love how these guys have stepped up to the challenge, and IBOT is becoming OUR linky instead of just mine.
Hi again everyone…hey Jess, and #TeamIBOT, thanks for the posts, I have visited, read and commented. What a great and growing community. Loved meeting some new bloggers, and adding them to my reader..Love Denyse
Denyse Whelan recently posted..Writing The Truth.
Team IBOT rocks!
First time I’ve ever missed an IBOT post last week too. My Internet lifeline was severed on holiday.
You picked a great bunch!
Jayne recently posted..Holiday Nonsense, or Why I’m Not a Travel Blogger
Thanks Jayne.
I’m sure in the future we will be expanding the team so if you want to join, the door will be open!
What a brilliant idea Nx
Thanks Nathalie. It was lovely to have you. Xx
thought i would join in on the fun.
Salz recently posted..My choice, My Hijab!
Yay!
So glad that you did!
What a great team you have there. Yay for team iBOT
<3
Melissa recently posted..Term 2 starts with a chart or two…
They are very awesome people!
Wonderful to meet Team IBOT … I don’t know about anybody else but I don’t expect everyone (including you Jess!) to come visit my blog & leave a comment each time I link up … I know I don’t have time to do everyone’s either. But I always try to visit and comment on half a dozen at least. Some days are harder than others. Today is difficult as it’s been full on at work all day and now hubster wants some attention, I know, what’s THAT about??!!! LOL
Janet recently posted..Is the Lord here – or not?!
Talk about rude husbands!
Actually the team idea was Boatmans as he could see it was becoming too much for me, but knew that I really wants everyone to be visited and read, and to show my appreciation.
I think it’s going to work quite nicely
Thankyou Jess, for letting me be part of #teamIBOT – I love that no one will get left behind on Tuesdays and I know we are all so passionate about that. I’ve had the best day finding new blogs, laughing with old friends and learning new things x
Lyndal recently posted..ten things you really should know about us….
Thankyou so much for wanting to be involved! I love that!
It’s great that everyone will get some comment love. Thats what makes the blogging world go around!
Welcome Team IBOT! Such a fun thing to initiate, Jess. I look forward to Tuesday’s linky (whether I get comments or not!)
Tam recently posted..How to dump your brain
Awww thanks Tam.
It’s nice to have so such support! Xxx
Awesome team you have there Jess. Awesome.
Lee recently posted..29/52 Huffy
Thanks Lee. They really are fantastic ladies aren’t they? Xx
man it took me ages to get to the bottom of this page to comment!!! YAY Congrats on such a wonderful #IBOT !!!!!!! I was all comment crazy today! Such great blogs to read!!
And I forgot to do one important thing when it comes to #teamIBOT and normal blogging!
Comment here!!
I hope you are doing a happy dance tonight! Such a great achievement!! Well done!
And thankyou for allowing me and the other #teamIBOT to be apart of this.
Yvette @ DTlilsquirts recently posted..What happened to my New Year goals..
Thank YOU Yvette for your willingness and enthusiasm! It’s that kind of attitude that makes blogging so wonderful.
It was a huge day for links, and I’m sure that’s thanks to you girls! Xxx
