Free As A Bumble Bee
20 Aug
Recently, while casually perusing my favorite blogs via Google Reader, I realized that a lot of the blogs I am reading are (how do I say this nicely?)…not interesting or entertaining to me anymore.
Don’t worry I’m not talking about your blog.
At some point these blogs were interesting, right? One day there was a blog post that inspired me enough to add it to the blogroll. But now? Not so much.
Really, I promise I’m not talking about your blog.
I’ve been cutting some ties. Auf’ing some blogs from my Reader. Telling them to pack their knives and go, if you will.
But now I’m in desperate need for new entertaining blogs to read and I need your help! I need you (yes, now I’m actually talking about YOU) to recommend your favorite blogs!
To encourage you to hand over your favorite urls, I’m going to turn this in to another giveaway!!
For each blog you recommend, you will gain one entry to win a Trio of Philosophy’s Award Winning ultra-rich 3-in-1 shampoo, shower gel and bubble baths (which despite the schizophrenic-ness, are truly amazing).
One lucky person will win 3 – 16 ounce bottles of Vanilla Wafer, Spiced Apple Cider and Orange Chiffon.
THE RULES
* Each blog you suggest gains you one entry to the contest.
* For each blog you suggest, please visit said blog and comment on a post letting them know that you recommended them to me as one of your favorite bloggers! Let’s show some blog love, people!
* Contest will run until Wednesday, August 26th at 9 p.m. I’ll announce the winner Thursday, August 27th.
* I am looking for funny, entertaining blogs such as Mommy Wants Vodka, Lulu and Moxley and/or The Bloggess.
* I am not looking for blogs centered around arts & crafts, God, cooking, and/or scrapbooking.
* For every blog you send me that sucks, I will send an email virus to you. Just kidding. I’ll just send you an envelope of herpes in the mail. (Shut up, it’s totally possible. That’s how my ex-boyfriend said he got it…)
* There could possibly be a prize for Best Blog Suggestion…so keep the good blog suggestions a-coming!

Ha! We are totally on the same page with this. I just purged a bunch of blogs out of my reader. Although, to be fair, it is summer and a lot of blogs die a slow death in summer.
I’m going to recommend my friend Jen over at Maybe If You Just Relax. It’s an infertility blog turned MOMMY! blog, but she’s very sarcastic and entertaining.
(I’m also going to snag any suggestions people give you. I need my blog fix!)
This blog is hilarious and right up your alley I think

Purging blogs rules. Makes me happy to eliminate people from my reader. Because I am a bad, mean person.
Not that I would win two giveaways in a row or even be so greedy as to want to… BUT, i have to rec this blog… http://www.alittlepregnant.com/alittlepregnant/
She cracks me up even when her subject matter is serious. And and AND, her writing is SOOOOOO good. I wish I had an ounce of her writing talent and wit. I seriously spent an entire evening reading her blog from post one to current. It reads like a fantastic book. I dont understand why she doesnt have a book deal.
My favorite is http://www.daringyoungmom.com/ Always fabulous.
These are two of my new favorites:
http://charm-school-reject.com/
http://yellow-trash-diaries.blogspot.com/
Same page exactly, that’s how I came across yours!!!
Looking for new Blog lovin’ & now I can poach all your reccommendations! Cheers!

I’d recommend Jill @ http://www.scarymommy.com

I didn’t see All & Sundry (Linda) on your blogroll–she is an AWESOME writer and hilarious. http://www.sundrymourning.com/ And she has a yummy one-year-old.
Hi again.. I just went to see the movie Julie&Julia (it’s about cooking and blogging), this is Julie’s real life blog:

I really like http://www.princessmelissa.com
she was on the real world like 6 years ago and her blog is hillarious!
Okay, I have another one (Sorry, I freaking want to win!)
I also love http://www.cookinagoonie.blogspot.com
Her sense of humor is just like yours, although you are way funnier, DUH!
I know you said no cooking, but what about a blog that combines hideous professional cakes with sarcastic commentary? =) My sis introduced me to this one…
