Being in blogging, I stumble upon blogs a LOT. Most blogs if they don’t catch my eye immediately, I rarely return. I do not have an abundance of time, so it’s a miracle if I read blogs to begin with. Nonetheless, here are a few that I return to weekly…hoping for some down time reading.
Today I wanted to share some that I frequent. The reason I love these blogs, is because the ladies who write them are REAL. There is no fake mother taking over the world…or I can do it all, hear me roar. Some days are great, some days are not, some days are sweats and some are diva days. That’s me…and I think that’s why I love these. So, let’s get on with it! {side note, MOST of my time is spent over with the SIMPLE moms, sorry I’ve been neglecting my personal blog so much!}
DesignHER Momma
You know this one. I have mentioned Emily it here before and she is a fellow contributor over with the SIMPLE moms. I love her real posts. She is a momma to 4 little tikes, and her posts make me laugh. I love her writing and I think she is a fantastic person too. So, go read her blog. She posts a couple times a week.
Mommy Testers
This is a new blog for me. It’s very pretty to look at and has some wonderful ideas. I had the chance to originally “meet her” as we were both asked to be Step2 Test Drive Bloggers this year. We talked a bit in that online group about some photography editing tips and then I got to meet her at Toy Fair. She is lovely and GORGEOUS!! Her little one is adorable too. But her posts are very thorough and a good read. Plus the photography in her posts rock. Check her out!
Casual Chic Mom
You guys. You have to follow her. She has some pretty incredible blog posts on real mom fashion. I originally found her when I was searching for an Old Navy sweater and have been following her since. Great real fashion that any mom/woman can duplicate. Plus, she has gorgeous eyes LOL! If you are struggling in the fashion department, bookmark her blog so you can reference for ideas!
My Life As A Mom
Kate is a mom with a busy house full of three boys (well 4 including her hubby!). Her blog posts are not only real, but so so so funny most times. Lately she has been having more and more recipes too. She is a wonderful person and I know that you will love reading her posts and seeing her pics. Go check her out!
The Baby Guy Gear Guide
I have mentioned this guy before too…love him!! I have met him a few times, talked business a handful of times and just adore him. he is as real as it gets. He is very involved on Instagram, Twitter and his Facebook page (and blog obviously!) – you can get links to all these over on his page. He talks and answers questions and has a heart for what he does. You need to follow him.
Baby Gizmo
Another gal I have had the chance to meet…another great site with lots of great product reviews (many blogs!), recipes and just plain fun stuff. She is a very nice person and again, a very real person. Her videos rock people! Go check her out now too!
Ok, that’s it for today! I hope you like some of my favorites and you go and follow them now too!!
