At Hobson’s Choice, the challenge for the day is to hang a spoon on your nose (and send pictures!). Mars2Buckeyes asks readers to try their hands (and feet!) at pogo-stick jumping. Continuing last week’s trend, 21st-Century Mom offers a worry-doll smack down (complete with an awesome picture of her efforts). At Simple Bliss, Cat double-dares her readers to either make a snow globe or craft some antique paper. Blue Milk invites readers to try and beat her six-rock rock tower. And you might think that the author of a blog titled “Juggling Life” would challenge everyone to a juggle-off, but instead Juggling Life invited her friends and readers to play a game of pool (with some great photos of how it all turned out).

This week brings us not one, but two worry doll challenges. Production Not Reproduction features a great entry on worry dolls (with adorable photographic proof of her worry-doll-making prowess), and offers readers two ways to win a copy of the book: by leaving a comment, or by making their own worry dolls. At A Wrung Sponge, readers are invited to share their worries in the comments, and each person who writes about a worry is promised a hand-made worry doll in return!
Elsewhere, Jenn at Jenn’s Journal challenges her readers to get messy with marble paper. Sandra at Diary of a SAHM makes some beautiful paper lanterns and inspires her readers to make their own. Jen at Here We Go Again asks her readers to try a hand at making a rope ladder (and shares pictures of hers, which she made using some awesome blue rope). And The Crib Chick goes for a hoe-down throw-down, challenging everyone to learn to dance the Cotton-Eyed Joe (the pictures are fantastic!).

“April showers bring May flowers” — or so the saying goes. So what do May showers bring? Double-Daring challenges!
Our good friend (and author in her own right) Mel is throwing us a book shower this month, and all of the “guests” are blogging about the Double-Daring Book — with a twist. Not only are they posting about some of their favorite chapters in the book, they are also trying them out, and issuing a “double-daring” challenge to their readers to do the same.
Today’s challenges come from Caroline at Food For Thought, who attempts some pogo-sticking with her sons and challenges her blog readers to best their record of three pogo-stick hops in a row; and from Much More Than A Mom, who was so taken with the April Fool’s Day chapter that she’s challenged her readers to pull a prank this week (she performed a light-hearted prank on her own by taking the “little kid” cups and bowls from their usual spot in the cupboard and putting them in the bathtub — much to delight of her toddlers). If you’re interested in attempting either challenge, grab a copy of the book, check out those chapters, give it a shot, and post your results!
Stay tuned — there’s more to come!
