If you’re like me, you probably have way too many subscriptions in your feed reader. Every now and again I have to go through and purge my subscriptions, yet I still have over 344 unread blog posts!
Each time I unsubscribe from someone’s blog I feel like I’m losing a friend. In reality, I just can’t keep up with my 122 blogs in my Google reader! The scary part is, not everyone blogs everyday. Can you imagine how many unread posts I’d have?
Still I keep adding new blogs to my reader. I can’t help it. It’s an addiction.
I follow a lot of “famous” or well-known bloggers like Pioneer Woman. Today, however, I’m going to share some fabulous bloggers you might not have heard of. Add these ladies to your Google reader. You won’t regret it!
- Jenn of Not Exactly Bento and I attended high school together. In fact she’s the only person from high school (besides my sister) that I keep in contact with. Jenn, a self-professed non-cook, blogs about her cooking adventures. She makes bentos for her lunches to control her portions. Isn’t that genius? She also shares her amazing photography, especially of her cute dogs. While you’re there, check out her chicken and sausage gumbo recipe.
- During BlogHer this past August, CiaoMom of C.Mom A Day in the Life were finally able to hang out together, even though we don’t live very far away from each other. Nothing like bonding over a late night snack in a the supermarket freezer section. I love reading CiaoMom’s blog. She opens herself up to her readers about her parenting struggles with her daughter and as well as tender moments with her husband. She even showed us her before pictures as she has committed to becoming healthier. Now, that’s brave!
- Karen of Time Crafted is a new addition to my Google Reader. Somehow she discovered my craft blog and is a regular commenter. We connected on Twitter and she’s such a fun, supportive woman. She’s a scrapbooker but also a huge Seahawks fan as well. She’s also a writer. I envy her photos of the lush California vineyards. Especially since the DC Metro area is expecting over 5″ of snow today and tomorrow.
- Mindy of Under a Pink Sky is a true Artistic Mother. She is the creator of WishStudio where she and other creative women inspire us to find the creativity within ourselves. I was lucky enough to take a workshop with Mindy last year. She’s down to earth, fun, and a great teacher.
- I might be biased since she’s my sister but Kieu’s blog Day of Practical Awakening offers a glimpse into the world of book arts, something most of us have never heard of. You can see her beautiful art on her blog as well as other artists, places, and things that inspire her. My favorite is her postcard, I am not too busy for you. She’s also raising money for a 6 month book arts project in Japan, Bound in Japan. My sister is moving away from me so I’ll have to keep track of her via her blog once she moves to Japan. Sniff.
Who are you reading? Introduce me to some of your fabulous bloggers hanging out in your Google reader. I haven’t maxed out my subscriptions yet.
