Some Favorite Sites and Blogs

I am putting these in a post so that I can make one link to them on the sidebar instead of showing an entire list. This is an experiment to see if I like the sidebar looking less wordy. Click on the link to this post (which will be on the sidebar) later if you are curious because I may add to this at any time!

Ten Thousand Villages (fair trade store)

Allrecipes and Tammy's Recipes (my go-to cooking sites)

Wholesome Baby Food (directions, charts, recipes, etc.)

Nicki's Diapers (cloth diaper store)

And now the fun stuff...

I looked at my Google Reader the other day to see how many blog feeds I am subscribed to and the number keeps climbing! I wanted to highlight just a few that I enjoy... and I think you might, too (if you don't already)!  Totally random listing.  I know none of these people personally.

Passionate Homemaking
(A great natural living resource.  I have learned a lot here.)

Modobject at Home (She has great style and eye candy photos.  Plus, I love her Sunday scriptures.)

The Pioneer Woman (Who doesn't read this? Just fun. And funny. And yummy.)

The MomAdvice.com Blog - The Motherload (Practical recipes and child tips.)

Adventures in Mercy (Makes me think and I like that. Also, it reassures me that it is okay to think.  Sporadic posting.)

Whatever - I so want to schedule a family photo shoot with her!  Plus I love her house pictures.  It just looks so fun; you want to live there.

Young House Love (formerly This Young House) - Inspiring design ideas... You must check out their house tour as well as their wedding album!

The Crafty Crow (crafts for kids - beatiful and easy to look through - the posts are uber short - basically a collection of pictures with links)

Clover Lane (Mostly parenting stuff.  I don't agree with everything she says, but I do frequently.  And I like hearing her opinions anyways.)

I like some variety. Too many on one kind of topic tend to overwhelm me.

There are many, many more... chances are, if you are reading this, I read your writings too! :) Thanks for opening up and enriching the rest of us by sharing your life. I love that about the blog world. You don't have to have everything in common in order to connect with someone, just a few similar interests or aspirations. Let's keep learning and growing, together!

PS - Feel free to recommend some new blogs you think are a must-read!
