5 Blogs You Really Should Be Following!

In this fast paced world of kids, work, more kids, more work, more kids, and hubbys – it’s hard to find time to sit and read.  I haven’t read an entire chapter in one book in years! So, when I DO find time to sit at the computer or cuddle up on the couch with my beloved iPad, I want to make sure the time I have is spent with my favorite reads. Here’s a list of 5 blogs I really think everyone should follow and love and read often! {besides mine, which you can so totally follow here}   

1.  Brittney Herself Brittney makes me laugh at LEAST once every post.  If not a dozen times!  She’s random, she’s funny, she’s odd – and I kinda have a writing crush on her!  She’s the bomb!  I totally dig her!  Her latest post is worth your time.  She had to convince her husband to try the “review” yellow chinos that Land’s End sent her to review.  It’s pretty funny people! {He looks thrilled, right?} 2.  Little Miss Momma I don’t know Ashley, I’ve never met her, and she doesn’t know I exist.  However, I’m oddly drawn to this girl.  First off, she is cute as can be – and she’s a darling momma {as witnessed by pictures she’s posted} I know this because I stalk her on every social media site!   Second of all, she’s HONEST.  She pours her heart out in her posts and this is probably the reason why she comes off as my best friend.  She says things that often times I’ve felt like screaming about, but think that others will think I’m a wack job if I share, so I read Ashley instead!  It makes me feel all kinds of better!  Not to mention, I’m completely in LOVE with her blog design.  It’s just simple and cute -just like her!   Here she is right before giving birth: NO WAY I look that cute EVER! And, I totally love that she’s got the PEOPLE magazine ready to go!  My kind of chick!   3.  Chef In Training Nikki is new to the stay at home mommy thing, and she’s ROCKIN the job along with making new recipes what seems like EVERY DAY.   Seriously, it makes me feel very incompetent as a wife sometimes because there are days {more than one a week} when I realize it’s 5:00 and I have NO idea what I’m making and nothing has been thawed.  Yeah, I ROCK!  When I AM with it, Chef In Training is one blog I go to for some great recipes!

4.  Pugly Pixel Katrina is a blog design enthusiast – so her blog isn’t for everyone.  My mom, who doesn’t have a blog and who doesn’t have any need to design anything online – probably wouldn’t find anything interesting on Pugly Pixel.  However, I know that a ton of you are also blog “designers” and also love to pretty up your blogs whenever you have the time.  This site is one I often get lost in for hours.  She shares a ton of photo layout freebies, as well as a lot of blog design tutorials.  I also love that a membership {if you choose} is only $5 per month and you get access to everything you want in her marketplace!     5. Shugary Sweets I swear this girl makes a recipe a day, which makes me start to wonder what she does with all of the food she makes.  Her freezer HAS TO BE stuffed FULL of cookies.   If she was my friend, I’d “happen” to have to stop by daily – because I’m sure she has plenty of leftovers!  I feel like I pin everything she makes, just because it’s all so pretty – and delicious looking.  She’s at the top of my cooking blogs list that I have to visit!  

What are a few of your favorite “must read” blogs?  I’d love to check them out!
