a list of blogs you should definitely read

So right when I was starting this blog, switching from Blogger to WordPress, I also had this idea for a blog that would be a sort of daily showcase of the top blog posts that I found on the web every day. I put it on hold because I wanted to be a legit blogger for a while so people wouldn’t think I was just trying to take advantage of other people’s blog posts, but I still have the website name and hope to someday get it started.

So in that vein, I was thinking today I would just tell you a bit about some of my favorite blogs. I go through phases of keeping up with them and not keeping up with them, but they’re pretty solid, as evidenced by their large readerships. So here goes!

Food Loves Writing – this is my friend Shanna’s blog, she lives in Nashville and we were in a small group together for a while. She posts awesome recipes and writes wise words along with them. I’m never disappointed when I hop over there.

Kath Eats Real Food – a blog my friend Laura Lea told me about (she has a blog too!), apparently she was one of the first bloggers to record all of her meals online. She has great photography of yummy food, and now she has a baby so she’s started a Baby Kerf blog, which I know will be helpful for me once I get closer to my little one’s arrival! It’s even helpful now, as she started the blog during her own pregnancy. Another food/fitness blogger is my friend Sara, you should check her out too.

Apartment Therapy – duh. This is just a great blog for home owners/renters/design lovers, and they post several times a day which is nice. Always feeding the addiction. It’s nice too because they aren’t always posting about huge expensive houses with outrageous accessories, it’s a lot of real homes (and apartments–surprise!) that are designed by their owners, on their own dime, by gathering beloved pieces over the years, expensive, inexpensive, or free. Basically, it’s about real people and where they live. Also Design Sponge is great.

Joy The Baker and Shutterbean – back when I had a job that allowed me to have headphones in 8 hours a day, I listened to these ladies on their podcast, and they are hilarious. They also both happen to have amazing food blogs with great photography. They are fun to read.

Young House Love – I have to say I haven’t read this blog in a while, but I remembered it just a second ago and read back through some of the most recent posts and have already found some great DIY ideas that I pinned.

Style Me Pretty – I mean, why should I have to stop looking at pretty weddings once I’m already married? It’s too hard to stop, so I’m not gonna.

I’m sure there are more that I’m missing, but that’s all I’ll tell you about for more. Hey, do you have any blogs you think I should add to my list? Particularly baby blogs! I really need a good baby design blog to give me awesome nursery ideas. K thanks!
