Blog Suggestions

What blogs are you all into reading?  I read a couple currently, and I really like a variety of them, ranging from fashion to home décor, to self help/uplifting blogs. Given the nature of my side business I always enjoy a good DIY blog. I just kind of feel like I'm in a slump with the ones that I read all the time... Any suggestions???

    Ohhhhh I don't have suggestions, but  I Iove Blogs. I never really stay with one, I just pinterest and read a post or two from each. the only one I have ever followed was several years ago. It's very sad, but so beautiful

    It's written from the perspective, I believe, of a baby who was diagnosed with SMA and it goes through her bucket list since SMA babies are normally given 2 years max. The blog was SMAvery. I don't have link because work won't let me view blogs. But seriously, ALL the TEARS

    Edit for link because I found it on my phone:

    I read the Joey and Rory blog and am still following it, and while it's extremely uplifting to me, and makes me feel very grateful for all that I have, and makes me realize what a precious gift life is, it has definitely made me have some ugly cries.  But all in all, it's an outstanding blog. I couldn't imagine going through everything that family has gone through.

    Ooh good question. I read blogs too and these are of varying quality. Sometimes they were good when I started reading (which may be a number of years ago) and aren't so good now. 
    *TW - some of these are pregnancy related blogs*

    Mommy/parenting blogs

    Amalah - she also writes an awesome parenting advice column on "alpha mom" which is a cool site. She also made a very entertaining pregnancy countdown that is available on that site. 
    dooce - the original mommy blogger. She wrote about her experience with depression and anxiety but now is sort of retired and doesn't post as much. 
    daily garnish - she had a really cute pregnancy countdown where she had the fruit for each week of pregnancy. 
    MODG - kind of funny mommy blog. She took a long break and recently came back. 

    DIY
    Bower Power and Young house love

    professional 
    Ask a manager - she answers so many workplace questions I love it. 
    Evil HR lady 

    I also read GOMI which mocks blogs but the site is kind of buggy so sometimes it's not worth it.
