GTKY: What blogs do you follow?

I follow a few blogs regularly, but most are not pregnancy/baby/child related.  That got me to thinking...what blogs do you ladies follow?  What topic(s) are covered? The ones I follow most are (and, btw, I am not affiliated with any):
  • Fashion:  J's Everyday Fashion (https://jseverydayfashion.com/). The author is based in Orlando, so a lot of her styles fit well with my Florida climate. She's also good at doing budget-friendly recreations of celebrity outfits.
  • Fashion/Career Advice:  Corporette (https://corporette.com/).  The author is based in NYC, and is a former business litigator. Some of her career topics are law related, but most are applicable to any professional career.  Some (though not all) of her fashion posts are beyond my price point, but there are some good articles.
  • Fashion/Motherhood:  Corporette Moms (https://corporettemoms.com/).  This is by the same author as Corporette, but it is geared more toward moms.  It has good parenting articles and baby gear and fashion reviews.
  • Fashion:  Memorandum (https://www.memorandum.com/).  The author has my dream wardrobe!  I seriously don't think she's ever posted anything I didn't want in my closet!  Once again, some of the items are beyond my price point, but it at least gives me a starting point to search for similar items.  She also does good cosmetics reviews.
What are your favorite blogs?

  • Gawker. And gawker and gawker. I'm addicted to that site! Funny, biting news and commentary. gawker.com.

  • I read a lot of home decor blogs but to be honest, I feel like a lot of them (actually I'd say blogs in general) are getting to be so sponsored that it's not as fun for me to read them as it once was.

  • thebloggess, scary mommy, and I love the pregnancy calendar on alpha mom
  • mommyish. I loooove STFU parents.
    I also read some local blogs, which I won't share because they'll be of interest to no one unless you live here too :tongue:

    Bois de Jasmin, Now Smell This, and (to a much lesser extent; the writing isn't as good) Perfume Posse, since I'm perhaps a teeny bit of a perfume/fragrance junkie.

    https://antiquecufflinks.blogspot.com/ - doesn't update very often, but it's neat to look at some beautifully curated pieces, and the older entries are educational if you're looking for a primer on antique cufflinks or trying to place a hallmark.

    Lots and lots of dog training/dog sport blogs. I'm not as active in that scene as I used to be, but I still follow a few of them. https://www.patriciamcconnell.com/theotherendoftheleash/ is probably the most worthwhile for general interest and pet owners; https://denisefenzi.com/ is great for trainers on the more hardcore/sportsy end of the spectrum.

    I am not a big blog follower but I have enjoyed www.theuphill.com 
    She is a new mom (her baby is 6 or 7 months now, I think) and does a lot of posts reviewing the baby gear she uses and also just talks about all the weird/fun/unexpected things associated with pregnancy and having a newborn.

    I like elements of style. It's mainly about interior design but the writer recently had a baby boy (FTM) and posts about her baby gear, her experience of having a newborn, etc.
