I'd love for you guys to share some of the blogs that you read daily and love. As I get ready for another exciting day on the couch, it'd be nice to find some new favorites.
And Then I Was a Mom- written by my friend and soon-to-be BlogHer buddy Kate. Yes, she's a brave soul.
Amalah- I've been reading this one for years and I feel like I know Amy, which is going to be creepy if we ever meet in person.
Poor Lucky Me- written by my friend Heather, who is an incredible writer.
Stacy Grows Healthy- my friend is getting fit by going organic, growing her own produce and working out. Very inspiring for me.
Exactly Paradise- my high school friend now lives in Hawaii. I am jealous.
Everyday Revelry- my old Weight Watchers buddy Lauren, who is becoming a yoga teacher. Another inspiring one.
Is This All There Is?- Kim is dealing with her mother's dementia and she's also hilarious. Nice combo.
Never Trust a Big Butt and a Smile- yet another Kim who's getting fit and planning her wedding. She's lucky enough to live in Chicago too.
Organic Motherhood with Cool Whip: another hilarious blog from a very funny mom. Plus she has nice veins ;)
No Need for Things: My friend Davin has a neat brain.
It's a Beautiful Life: Becca is a former lawyer who now stays home with her adorable little guy Jacob Henry. He makes my ovaries hurt a little.
So typically I either read well-written and funny blogs or total train wreck blogs that make me feel good about my life. The ones above are the good ones. I'm not "Mean Girls" enough to link to the bad ones, but I certainly wouldn't complain if any of you did.
In other news, I drank a smoothie this morning made out of berries and spinach. It was delicious! I still would probably kill my dog for a cheeseburger at this point though. I'm sure 25 days will just fly by though, right? RIGHT??? Heavy sigh.
Thanks for linking to me!
ReplyDeleteSuggestion for a smoothie (while not a cheeseburger, it's pretty tasty!): frozen cherries, vanilla almond milk, spinach, some cocoa powder and a little vanilla extract. Pretty low-fat and you get to hide the spinach in the chocolate!
Ohhh I forgot--add a frozen banana in there too so it tastes like a milkshake!
ReplyDeleteYou are a better person than me. I think I might rather be toothless than go a month without chewing!
ReplyDeleteSome of my favorite blogs www.carrotsncake.com, www.bobbimccormick.com and www.katheats.com - all food blogs - what I love most, so maybe you should save yourself and not read them until you can chew.
Hey thanks Taryn! Very nice of you. I hope I can live up to the hilarious! :-)
ReplyDeleteA friend's son broke his jaw playing football and she put whatever they were having for dinner in the blender for him and served it up - a pork chop, mashed potato, applesauce smoothie. He liked it.
Oh, http://www.mommywantsvodka.com/
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks for the shout out. Other than friends' blogs, I read an odd mix. I'm fascinated with religious people, Mormons especially, so I read both nienie (nieniedialogues.blogspot.com) and her sister CJane (cjanerun.com). NieNie is one of my favorites - I started reading her before her accident because of her love of motherhood, and now she is an even bigger inspiration.
ReplyDeleteOther favorites include:
Kelly Stamps (kellyskornerblog.com)(Christian mommy blog)
Angie Smith (audreycaroline.blogspot.com)(Christian mommy blog - she lost one of her daughters shortly after birth)
MckMama.com (total trainwreck, but a lot of people seem to like her)
Dooce.com (used to be funnier but I still read her out of some odd sense of "I might miss something")
http://www.davidlebovitz.com (he lives in Paris and posts AWESOME food porn all the time...so on second thought I'm not sure you'd love this one right now)
I realize those aren't exactly what you asked for but I hope at least one of them is interesting to you!
Thanks. Also, I see an exclamation mark after sentences mentioning "spinach" and "delicious." I will tuck that away as proof of my earlier assertion about exclamation marks.
ReplyDeleteLet's see. Well, I do love this blog. I also enjoy http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/ and sweetjuniper.com. Plus others, but I'm too lazy to think of them at the moment.
I appreciate you pimping my blog ;) Guess I should update it, eh? Ha!
