BlogosphereThere is, my friends, an absolute blogging paradise out there.  After spending some quality time with my laptop the last couple of days, I have been amazed at the number of blogs out there that are well-written and easy to relate to.  I thought I would share some of the ones that peaked my interest.  A nice leisurely blog post for a nice leisurely weekend.  (Oh and one side note:  Happy Birthday Grandma!!!!  You are rockin’ the 80’s like nobodies business and I love you very much!!)

First awesome blog I found:  The Mom Crowd

This is my new favorite blog! There is so much that I enjoy about this blog including their very cute and easy on the eyes format, the idea of a collaboration of four mothers writing a blog together that aims to help other moms, and their topics. I found this blog very easy to relate to and especially enjoyed the posts about Amanda’s Picky Eater, the competitive parenting that exist between moms, and a simple straw sippy cup review.

Second awesome blog: Diet Me

This blog was informative for me to read because it goes into different elements of exercise and fitness that I had not thought of before. The post, Facts About Body Temperature & Exercise, was especially interesting because of how it relates exercising to sleep. It’s crazy how many benefits there are to exercising and that post describes many of them. Another post that I found helpful was about tuna and it includes a recipe for a no-mayo tuna salad. I love a good tuna sandwich and I love even more that it is light in calories but full of protein!

Third awesome blog: Suburban Turmoil Reviews

I have fun reading the reviews of different family-friendly products. I’ve enjoyed reading reviews on different movies, cereals, health and beauty products, etc. There’s just something nice about knowing that a regular person is trying out the products and giving you the skinny on them.

The last awesome blog: Fitness for Busy Moms

Okay, any blog with a post titled The Fast Way to Get Rid of Jiggly Arms will make a believer out of me! This blogger demonstrates with video, a very simple exercise that specifically targets the backs of our arms. Now that’s something to write home about! I also enjoy the tips on this blog as they pertain to fitness and weight loss. The tips are short and laid out in simple formats, which is great for my sound-byte driven brain.

This concludes our journey through the blogosphere!

What a nice list of blogs to check out. I almost hesitate now to read posts recommending new-to-me blogs because it’s so easy to end up spending hours discovering new topics and writing.

Hi Julie! I am so glad that you like The Mom Crowd and thank you for including us on your list! :) It is such a nice write up about us. All four of us have fun encouraging and informing other moms from our own experiences. And honestly, thank you for your kind words about the design. I have worked really hard on it.

In the next month we will be coming out with our Video Podcast with McKenna and myself (Amanda). So stay tuned! :)

Hi Julie,
Thanks so much for the mention.

I try as best I can to give simple yet effective tips that really work. Unfortunately my industry is filled with scams and crazy promises…so with my blog I try to show what really works.

Best,
Stephen
