I've discovered that the blogging world is a whole lot bigger than I originally thought it was. I've started subscribing to my favorite blogs via Google Reader. It WAS just my friends and family, but every time I log in, it gives a few "recommended" feeds that they think I might enjoy. While lurking around on all these different sites, I find myself inspired. Inspired to be more creative, to be a better mom, to do amazing things with my home, and to buy everything that moms are selling. I find it absolutely incredible the way that stay-at-home moms are finding ways to make money for their families by creating interesting blogs and selling advertising or by creating something special to sell on blogs and on etsy.com. I also love that they use giveaways to get the word out about their products. There are so many talented people out there. And I learn so much from their tutorials, recipes and the stories of their endeavors. I really don't have time for it . . . but when both kids happen to be asleep, I decide the dishes and laundry can wait and I find myself lost on the internet, writing down ideas for games, crafts, gifts and dinners.
Anyway, here are a few of my favorite blogs . . . by people that I don't know.
Tip Junkie: I think most of the blogging world has come across this blog with the great giveaways and ideas and tutorials. I could stare at this site all day long.
Light Refreshments Served (may it nourish and strengthen us): This is a random ramblings blog written by some amazing and hilarious LDS women.
Bakerella: I am using her cake pops as a basic recipe for something creative I'm making for our Halloween party next month.
Cool Mom Picks: I can't afford anything on this site, but I love to look
Noble Pig: Okay, so I don't drink wine, but she entertains me. And I am so interested to see how she is going to turn this beautiful land that she bought into a home and vineyard.
c jane enjoy it: Is anyone else captivated by how the blogging world is raising money for the Nielsons?
I Never Grew Up: Great ideas for entertaining my kids
Spraguelab: Photoshop Hints
A Feathered Nest: Fun ideas for kids and home
my happy little life: I love the pictures that she takes. Photography blogs are my newest favorite things to lurk on.
And I already mentioned Virtual Organized. See the post below.

My friend here has a bro-in-law who is one of the siblings of Stephanie Nielson. We think it is more than amazing what everyone is doing. A lady paid over $800 just to have one of the brothers write a blog post about her. Hilarious. It is wild how many people find support in the blogging world.
