Your very favorite all-around awesome blog?
*Gotta give it to Kelle Hampton. The pictures, the so cute you could eat 'em kids, and her general attitude about life really makes me smile.
Blog that inspires you?
*This one about a family with 4 little kids living in Peru: https://goodfellowfamily.blogspot.com/
Blog whose popularity confuses you?
*That Kelly's K o r n e r blog. I think it's a snoozefest and I don't get the hype about it, but I'd boycott on the abusive use of the letter K alone.
Blog that never fails to make you laugh out loud?
*MODG blog, now that she quit eating horse hooves or whatever. She kills me: https://www.modgblog.com/
Blog that annoys you, but you keep going back?
*I can't stand M c k M a m a, but it's like a trainwreck. I look once a week or so to see if she's knocked up again.
Blog you'd never admit (IRL) to reading?
*My SIL's ex boyfriend's wife's. I'm FB friends with SIL's ex's mom (she's good friends with MIL) and she posted something about her DIL's blog once, and it's a cute blog and her kids are about the same age as mine, so I can relate. So I read it. But I feel like a creeper.

Why do I always miss DDs?
Your very favorite all-around awesome blog? I don't know...I have so many. The one I've been following and reading regularly for the longest is Science Based Medicine.
Blog that inspires you? Conversion Diary it's written by a woman who converted from atheism to Catholicism. Her sense of humor is basically identical to mine, and I really enjoy reading her insights
Blog whose popularity confuses you? That MckMomma one. Deuce. Pioneer Woman. I can't get into any of them.
Blog that never fails to make you laugh out loud? Hyperbole and a Half
Blog that annoys you, but you keep going back? None. I dump blogs when I don't like them. I follow too many already!
Blog you'd never admit (IRL) to reading? I am an open book. Nothing to hide here
Your very favorite all-around awesome blog? pioneer woman

It was nothing awesome. Houston Nesties did a poll about favorite blogs, someone mentioned a certain one, owner of that certain one came running to the board and thanked them for the love, then spammed 25 other boards with a dumb linky post about her blog. The end.

I love Matt Logelins blog very inspiring. But I also love Pepper Design Blog, she is a new mother herself and out of San Diego but she does awesome interior design. She's big on DIY, she does beautiful stuff! And she recommends outfit looks, even decor for your backyard... check it out..

Your very favorite all-around awesome blog and blog that inspires you?
Kelle Hampton's for both
Blog whose popularity confuses you?
Pioneer Woman. I really, really like her cooking site and by extension her. While I have to admit that I haven't read the love story on-line, I tried to read the book and it was quite possibly the worst book I've tried to read in a very long time. I rarely give up on finishing a book, but I had to put this one down before I opened a vein. It was that nauseating. (But I don't know if that counts because I'm talking about the book based on her blog.)
Blog that never fails to make you laugh out loud?
Go Fug Yourself. I don't keep up with it regularly so when I read it, I'm usually reading quite a few posts at a time. Without fail, several will have me in tears.
Blog that annoys you, but you keep going back?
Unhappy Hipster. I love it, but it gets a little redundant.

All around favorite: IDK, I read a lot of them. I don't really have a favorite. I like Fly Through Our Window, Urban Grace, Young House Love, Whatever... those are the ones I probably read on a pretty regular basis.
Blog whose popularity confuses you: Heir to Blair, Bower Power, The Pioneer Woman. Blair just seems whiny and snarky, and I remember her being a total b*tch to everyone on the nest while pg, so I don't enjoy her site or get why people love her. I visited Bower Power by way of YHL, and they seem like a nice couple, but overly young and perky in a way I just don't relate to. The Pioneer Woman... the first time I visited, some people had complained about a breakfast burrito she posted, and her response was a massively bitchy post about the complaints. No thanks. I don't need drama over a burrito recipe, and I do not like blogs where the writer thinks she is the best thing ever. I've since read some very unflattering stuff on Ree Drummond, and now I can't stand her.
Blog that always makes me laugh: Hyperbole and a Half. I love it.
Blog that annoys me but I keep going back: When it was active, that Under1000amonth blog was a train wreck.
Blog I'd never admit reading IRL: There are a couple of political blogs I enjoy, but I don't generally talk about them IRL.

Your very favorite all-around awesome blog? I'm not good at picking favorites. I'm gonna say Baby Rabies just because it's important that she makes this list. Especially since she had her daughter the day before Olivia, I'm glued to her blog.
Blog that inspires you? I had an answer, but after spending the last hour reading Kelle Hampton's, I would say she tops the list.
Blog whose popularity confuses you? Pioneer Woman. Zzzzzz...
Blog that never fails to make you laugh out loud? Dooce
Blog that annoys you, but you keep going back? MODG. She drives me crazy, she's such a drama queen. I do not know why I can't stop reading it. But I think that's her point.
Blog you'd never admit (IRL) to reading? Ex boyfriend's wife's blog. I didn't even come across it in a stalkery kind of way. Someone who used to post here looked like his sister, so I looked him up to see if it WAS his sister (it wasn't) and found his wife's blog. They travel all over the world and have the cutest kid!
