The Delicate Art of Blogging

I am new to this, I am not keen on blog etiquette, but I try and make this blog interesting and informative! I was re-acquainted with a good friend from high school about 2 years ago and she sent me the link to her blog. I had certinly HEARD of blogs, but rarely read any and definitely did not have my very own. Mommy Esq (www.mommyesq.com) was suh a great way to catch up without having to spend hours on the phone, while trying to corral twins on Mommy Esq's part and an HMB on mine. So I follow what's going on with her and make comments and look at cute pictures of her kids. I found out her sisters have their own blogs and started to occasionall look at those as well. It has been so nice being aa part of their lives through the blog, seeing pics of the kids, and reading about work and life challenges. Then I started my own and try to be good about posting. When I went gluten free, another friend suggested a blog and from there, you could say I became obsessed. I just kept reading and clicking links to other blogs and reading more and more!! This all happens after both HMB and my husband are fast asleep. Suddenly, I realize hours have gone by, precious hours of sleep I could have gotten before HMB wakes up! I thought I would give a list of my recent favorites!

http://www.theslowcook.com/ A DC dad who writes this blog but also went into his daugher's DC public school kitchen to check out how they do things.

http://glutenfreegirl.blogspot.com/ A GF mom and great cook!

http://www.elanaspantry.com/ She has AMAZING GF recipes, like lemon poppy seed bunny cookies today, uh YUM!

Then there are my friend's blogs and since I don't have many followers and you can't search for this blog, I don't think they will mind if I post them!

http://20lbstogo.blogspot.com/ A friend who is blogging about her quest to lose weight (she is prett hilarious).

http://mommyesq.com/ Previously mentioned blog written by a friend from high school and mom of two children with one on the way (did I mention she is also a lawyer!?).


http://staceysbloghasgotitgoinon.blogspot.com/ Blog by Mommyesq's sister, also a great blog about being a working mom (she has an adorable little girl about two months younger than HMB).

http://uncontrolledexperiment.blogspot.com/2010/03/who-am-i-kidding-theres-no-title-for.html Blog also by the sister of Mommyesq, also a working mom with two little ones.

OK, thats it for now, ENJOY!!

  1. Thanks for the shout out! I love blogging but since I found out some work people found it I have to be more circumspect on what I say about my job. Oh, well. It is more about the kids anyway. Who have become VERY high maintenance lately. :)

  2. I just added you to my blogroll so I can know when you have a new post up. It is really nice to keep in touch this way - that's why I started my blog (mainly so my grandmother would stop bugging me for pictures of the kids).

    We should try to get our families together sometime, too - it's been years since we've seen each other! Maybe when Kristin stops in the DC area on our way down to NC?

    Blog reading is definitely addicting, isn't it? I can waste way too much time doing it!!
