I love blogging.  It is truly such a joy in my life.  Seven years and counting for this little peach!  But the largest reason I love it so dearly is because of the sweet women I have met along the way.  I told you here how I started blogging.  And I often mention that my Bestie has a blog.  But today I am going to share five of my current favorite reads.  I have so many more on my must read list so this is just a little sampling.

Katie.  I love this girl!  If I ever decide to move to Colorado (I do talk about that frequently with Little), I swear we will become besties and walk the dogs together.  She's sweet and honest and down to earth.

MCW.  I live vicariously though MCW.  She has the absolute best dating stories.  And she fills every minute of her weekends with fun activities.  She is so great at taking advantage of life's opportunities- large and small.  I want to do so much more of that in life!

Mavis.  If you are into gardening and sassy writing...go read Mavis' blog!  She has chickens and a dog named Lucy.  Plus she grew 2000 lbs of food last year in her large suburban backyard.

The Sammons Family.  I follow a lot of adoption bloggers.  And stumbled upon Mary's blog after they brought Lexi home.  Right now they are fighting for the life of sweet little Ivy Joy who has had five or six open heart surgeries since coming home a year ago.  I am fascinated by their journey and while the blog posts are not daily, they are well-worth reading.

Mermaid.  I've read her blog since her earliest days.  I've had the joy to follow her journey to motherhood.  Plus she frequents my old neighborhood on the Hill, which always makes me smile.  Her blog is private but trust me when I tell you she is adorable and very fun to read.
