Day 12 - Three Blogs I Can't Get Enough Of...

I'm not a huge follower of blogs - & although I have a Live Journal from 2008 somewhere, I feel like a complete beginner when I look at some of the other blogs out there, with thousands of posts and hundreds of followers. I have 5 followers - and 4 of them are people I see at least once a week! Ahh well, starting small never hurt anyone!


First on the list is a lime less ordinary which was the very first (and actually, so far the only) blog I went back to the very beginning of to read it from the start.  Its creator is Dani, now a friend, but when I started reading, someone I'd met a couple of times at parkrun. I felt like I got to know her (and Baba Lime) a fair bit through the blog, & getting to know the whole family for real has been one of the best things about Saturday mornings! The blog is a lovely mix of photos and words, often, but not exclusively, featuring young Lime. I know that Dani occasionally worries that the blog is boring: It really isn't, it's one of the most loving, entertaining and endearing things I've ever read from a mother to her child - and it's an honour to be allowed to share in it!

Secondly, a blog which is largely a photographic extrazagana:   the happy daisy which is where the lovely Amy displays her photographic and artistic skill (she has plenty of this!) The blog always makes me smile as it is pretty, colourful and often a bit nuts - ever so slightly like the one responsible for it. Amy has the most rapidly changing hair colour I've ever seen - the photo shows an almost natural shade of red - currently it is 'lava red' but anything is possible!

There isn't really an obvious 3rd blog - I enjoy blog7t and papa7t, both written by Steve, (Dani's husband, Lime's Pa) one is all about running, the other is very much in its infancy (ha ha) and is all about the Baba. One day I'll remember to ask Steve what the '7t' is about! To put this as my 3rd blog feels like a bit of a cop out - I know all three of these people personally!

The only blog I currently follow which isn't by a friend is trudging ahead which is all about a family who have adopted a lovely but challenging 'internationally adopted' child. Holly, the mother of this family, has a degree of religious faith which is beyond my comprehension, but the situation she deals with on a daily basis makes me grateful for my relatively straight-forward existence.

I've recent started reading the blog which goes with the button on the left (must learn how to make one of those for myself!) so fawned is written by Desiree Fawn, it's beautifully put together, and she comes across as one remarkable woman. She's also the one responsible for the entire '30 Days Hath November' concept.




So there you have it. Maybe not quite what I was asked for - rebel child, me - but a list of all my blog reading to date - methinks I should do better!
