What blogs do you read?

[LBW]

Just curious/nosey. I know there are a lot of great ones out there and I'd like to try some new ones out! I'd especially like suggestions for political blogs (right and left). I've tried a few out, but none have clicked with me.

Almost every day I check:

SouleMama: Amanda is a terrific writer, and I really wish I had the time and patience to do half of the wonderful things she does with her kids.
http://soulemama.typepad.com/soulemama/

Posie Gets Cozy: I love this peek into Alicia's life.
http://rosylittlethings.typepad.com/posie_gets_cozy/

GoFugYourself: Hilarious critiques of celeb's fashion choices.
http://gofugyourself.celebuzz.com/

and

PinkIsTheNewBlog: Gossip. I liked the old format better though.

Without fail, every day.

She's a popular one too - I read that she gets more than 56,000 hits per day. Have been reading her for years.

These are my "mommy blogs" that I follow. I got addicted a couple of years ago. Be careful, though, they'll suck you in!

I have about a gazillion blogs on my google reader.

Some of my faves:
celebrity baby blog - http://www.celebrity-babies.com/
project rungay - http://projectrungay.blogspot.com/
a year of crockpotting - http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/

Plus a bunch of local blogs, running/triathlon blogs, and friends' blogs.

[LBW]

Can you read any blog through Google Reader? Off to check it out.

[tylersmama]

Great question, I can't wait to see all of the responses!

Most of my blog-reading is friends' blogs, but I love the Pioneer Woman (http://thepioneerwoman.com/). It's four blogs in one, my favorite is the cooking blog. Lots of yummy recipes there!

Bookmarking the 365 crockpot blog...really interesting!

Ry, what running/triathlon blogs do you read? I'm a newly converted tri addict (did my first oly 2 weeks ago, and just signed up for another in 2 weeks!) and would love some reading to fuel my addiction! :p

One I read is my friend's tri blog (she's done 2 IronMan tris), but she just started business school, so it's all about business school now.

A fun running blog is Just Your Average Joggler http://justyouraveragejoggler.com/

Others are:
Running Jayhawk (she just did a 1/2 IronMan!) http://www.runningjayhawk.com/

The Marathon Mama http://themarathonmama.blogspot.com/

Excellent, thanks Ry! (I have a niggling little thought in the back of my head to do a 70.3 next year!)

Well, she is a mom to a four year old and she has two dogs. She is an ex-Mormon living in Utah. And she is freakin' laugh out loud funny. Every month she writes a charmingly sweet, touching and funny letter to her daughter that just melts your heart while you are laughing out loud.

Great thread. I love soulemama too.

I am spending most of my online time working on a blog of my own -- I've still got a lot of writing to do.
http://favoritechildrensbooks.blogspot.com/

I also like these blogs, I started blog reading with fashion blogs and now read a few others:
http://www.mywardrobetoday.com/
http://blog.wardrobe911.com/

http://likemerchantships.blogspot.com/
http://www.myfirstkitchen.net/
http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/search/label/decorating%20dork

The last three are a bunch of really neat women from NC who have nice blogs.

I found this one the other day, which I think is adorable:
http://isaacgracelily.blogspot.com/

Oh and I just started using Bloglines as a place to store all the blogs I subscribe to in one online reader. I don't think it's quite as fun as going to the main sites, but I do have too many bookmarks going also.

I regularly read these blogs:

http://blogs.parentcenter.babycenter.com/momformation/author/joyceslaton/
I've been reading since the author's daughter was a baby. Violet is a couple of months older than DD, so it's interesting to me.
