Blog Love
Sharing some of the blogs I cherish…
Blogs belonging to my best real-life friends
Baconseed - Momma extraordinaire and gardening guru. Melanie has been my friend since I was 15 (more than half my lifetime).
thirtythreeandcounting - Dacia’s my BFF. She’s awesome, and if you don’t read her blog, you’re truly missing out. She mostly discusses health and fitness, life as an Army wife, and living better.
Landfill Films – Brian and I have been friends since I was a dark, brooding, poet in the 90s. He makes films in Georgia.
Blogs about parenthood
The Feminist Breeder – The name is descriptive without my help. But I’ll add this is one AP, opinionated, overachieving rocker momma.
From Tattoos to Tots – AP, tattooed, zombie movie-lovin’ foodie, blogging about her experiences as a first-time mom.
Good Day, Regular People – She’s the Empress. She’s an amazing mother & friend to all bloggers everywhere!
jana’s thinking place – Jana is super nice. Check out her blog. It is also super nice.
Life with Baby Donut – Rach is mom to a baby girl. A baby girl who sleeps like Jax sleeps. So Rach and I commiserate a lot on Twitter. Rach runs the Life Lessons blog hop each week, which is really fun.

Sometimes It’s Hard – Another sleep-deprived momma to one cute baby girl, with whom I chat (read: rant to) on Twitter.
