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. 🙂

Kaye
September 3, 2008 at 9:42 am (15 years ago)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
Kaye
September 3, 2008 at 9:55 am (15 years ago)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
September 3, 2008 at 10:50 am (15 years ago)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

September 3, 2008 at 12:00 pm (15 years ago)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.

Kelli Standish
September 3, 2008 at 6:23 pm (15 years ago)Karen,
I haven’t had time to read through everyone’s comments, but if you haven’t seen the eBay Mom’s blog: http://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.
