Don&#39;t get me wrong, I have a lot of mommy lover friends, lots of them, but it is cool to find other non-child bloggers!Andihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00783652571241657386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29012168.post-37730340082902454332010-02-04T13:10:17.864-05:002010-02-04T13:10:17.864-05:00Ok, so my top 5 (that i haven&#39;t mentioned yet):<br /><br />1) soulemama (http://www.soulemama.com): a new england mom who homeschools her kids, her blog is more about knitting/quilting/creating/LIVING than about her kids. It&#39;s very inspiring to hear about all the stuff that she does!<br /><br />2) french for a while (http://www.frenchforawhile.blogspot.com/): a Washington, DC, family of 5 ups and moves to the south of france so that he can teach history in an international school. A &quot;family take&quot; on the expat experience. Often HILARIOUS!<br /><br />3) passive-aggressive notes (http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com): a collection of passive-aggressive notes from around the world. Often with snarky comments. I&#39;ve laughed many times (and can relate to a lot of them!)<br /><br />4) Food blogs such as smitten kitchen (http://smittenkitchen.com/), joy the baker (http://www.joythebaker.com/) and the pioneer woman cooks (http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/). who doesn&#39;t love food, especially when it&#39;s documented and photographed with such love?!<br /><br />5) 1000 awesome things (http://1000awesomethings.com/) ... a slowly, still-being-compiled list of awesome things. most of the time, they&#39;re things that you wouldn&#39;t normally think about as &quot;awesome&quot;, but this makes you realize just how great the little things are. a &quot;slow down and smell the roses&quot; type of blog.<br /><br />I also have a shitload of different expat blogs that i read (Jennie en France, Totally Frenched Out, C&#39;est la vie, etc) but I&#39;m not sure if you&#39;d be interested ...Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01540479473220038904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29012168.post-76519559353299274642010-02-04T12:39:29.911-05:002010-02-04T12:39:29.911-05:00Thanks, guys! Loving the new blog-ness... <br /><br />E, maybe your top 5 personal blogs that span any category. Think the 5 with the most quality. Can&#39;t wait to see what you recommend!Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17421817530549615923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29012168.post-43017065012253021872010-02-04T11:43:56.286-05:002010-02-04T11:43:56.286-05:00Lifehacker.org is a great blog about all kinds of little things you can do to improve your life. Creating a laptop stand out of a $5 shoe rack from Walmart or new (free) software to keep track of websites and references for a research paper, for example. I also really like neatorama.com, which is another &quot;random&quot; blog where they just post things that are interesting. I&#39;ve learned a lot (and been very entertained) since I started reading !!!Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01540479473220038904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29012168.post-45697044001227163942010-02-03T14:43:43.740-05:002010-02-03T14:43:43.740-05:00I only read a couple blogs on a daily basis:<br />1.http://anthony-bourdain-blog.travelchannel.com/<br />I love watching Anthony Bourdain&#39;s &quot;No Reservations&quot; on the travel channel- and this is his travel blog that accompanies the show- I really enjoy his snarky sense of humor : )<br />2. earthdoglife.com<br />-Written by Kym Collela of Nashville, TN. She and her husband Dave have a pack of dogs (12-16 at any given time) and also run a business (earthdog) that sells environmentally friendly pet products that they make! Her writing is often quite funny and I always love to see what antics the dogs are up to- As of recently, though, they have had two dogs pass away, so the entries have been sad.<br />3. http://drjekyllandmrshyde.blogspot.com/<br />This blog is more science related but I love reading it and knowing that my lab isn&#39;t the only insane place on the earth : )<br />-LindsayLindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12057152744849396146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29012168.post-82892511494396568972010-02-03T10:28:43.762-05:002010-02-03T10:28:43.762-05:00It&#39;s not a Blog-with-a-capital-B, spill your heart out to the internet blog, but I&#39;ve been really enjoying <a href="http://www.lettersofnote.com/" rel="nofollow">Letters of Note</a>.<br /><br />Like the title says, it&#39;s a collection of notable letters from or to famous people. Really interesting content. The most recent one currently is a fan letter that Normal Rockwell sent to another illustrator when he was 54. How cool is that?Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17740687193612520022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29012168.post-7762020507868201772010-02-02T18:03:57.934-05:002010-02-02T18:03:57.934-05:00Are you interested in expat blogs? I read a bunch from mainly americans, although some are from other english-speaking countries. <br /><br />I&#39;m also getting into food blogs (because honestly, who doesn&#39;t LOVE food?!) and am thisclose to buying myself some of the lovely knives/tools/stand mixers I see in the photos!!<br /><br />Just let me know and i&#39;ll pass them along ...Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01540479473220038904noreply@blogger.com
