WFMW - Backwards

I'm in a blogging rut - I haven't had time to find any new blogs lately because I'm working too much and homeschooling, thank you very much.

So I could use your help. I love to read in my spare time (when I have it) and would like to know who's your favorite blogger and what's his/her url? I need some fresh new reads.

Head on over to Shannon's - maybe you can answer her question. :)

(sorry if it seems like spam to leave a link to my blog. I am just being lazy. I mean efficient.)

Most of my favorites have been listed (Pioneer Woman, Boo Mama, Big Mama, etc)

Start with his story (kleenex), and then admire his photography & super cute baby.

Hello. My name is Kaye and I have a sickness...I read WAY too many blogs. But I love them all so very much that I can't seem to eliminate any of them. So I will pass them along to you. Check out my sidebar on my blogs Silencing the Stones (faith based blogs) and Riding Bicycles (mommy blogs and those I personally know). Also, I have a frugal blogroll (some are also crossover parent/family/faith but mainly frugal) at this site which is linked to my main blog. Of course, you can always read mine because they are awesome. =)

Just kidding...seriously, I hope you find some you enjoy in there. Love to share a good read with people1

By the way...all of the blogs that I told you (above) that I read? The list has just increased thanks to your commenters. =) I will subscribed to these comments for more suggestions (because I have nothing to do, you know?). Thanks so much!

Steph at Problem Solvin' Mom said…
My suggestion for quick a quick and easy way to check out new blogs is click through to the websites of the people you follow on twitter - like me ;)

Also, Allie's linkapalooza is a good way to find new blogs and carnivals like WFMW and MPM...right now I have too many blogs, too little time! :)

did you fix your granddaddy blog last night, btw?

hugs,
Steph

A couple of my favorites are already listed, so I'll share a couple of others. I read tons of multiples blogs since I'm raising just turned 2 year old triplets and their 3 year old big sis, but I think these two are pretty inspiring aside from the fact that they have triplets.
http://amazingtrips.blogspot.com
http://lotsofscotts.blogspot.com
Oh, and my new favorite non-multiples related blog is http://simplemom.net Sadly, I'm much more addicted to reading blogs than I am to writing, but mine is http://foursillysisters.blogspot.com Feel free to check it out too.

Karen,
I haven't had time to read through everyone's comments, but if you haven't seen the eBay Mom's blog: www.becauseIsaidso.com, don't miss it!

She's hilarious, and her blog landed her a book contract.

Another one I enjoy is waiterrant.net. His blog also landed him a book contract.

Very funny people.

If you want, deep, rich, incredible spiritual insight, another must read is author Marlo Schalesky's- http://marloschalesky.blogspot.com/. I could spend hours reading her writing.

What a great question! I had fun reading through your comments, seeing old favorite and several new ones as well. I enjoy www.pennyraine.com because she lives an honest, interesting life and ethos.com. Randy Elrod got me started on blogging and his is very cultural. Also please check mine out, I'm a freelance writer and vocalist as well as mom to three boys.

All good things come in Threes - a giveaway!

***If you're here via Bloggy Giveaways - please go to item #3 - that's the giveaway!*** Mondays are good days for announcing things, don't you think? It's long been known that I'm a maker of lists and enjoy the pleasure of accomplishing tasks and marking them off of said lists, if for nothing else than just the satisfaction of seeing something was actually completed. 1. My brand-spanking new Design Blog is finished. I am so excited about it - I coded it myself (which explains why some of you who have MSIE6 and FF2.0 will have viewing issues - working on the bugs still). You can visit it if you like, or not. I still have some work to do on it and there are still a few pages that are either buggy or not complete, but honestly? I just wanted to get it out there so I could announce part two of my list. 2. My order pad is open for business. Yay! I already have a wait-list of five people, but I will accept new clients as well - please go to my new Design Blog for the ne...
