Some of My Favorite Blogs & What Really Makes Them Special




Recently, I posted on my top 5 criteria for the blogs I follow. Today I wanted to share with you some of my favorites. These are the blogs that I read regularly, as in daily. I also read other blogs through Bloglovin' and follow many great blogs on Facebook, but I don't subscribe to all of these blogs via email, my preferred means of following a site.

Some of my favorite blogs boast a very large following while others cater to a smaller audience of devoted fans. Some of these blogs have regular posting schedules while others are a little more erratic. Still, all of these blogs are successful in my book because of the people behind them, their passion and commitment to their blog and its followers. 

I hope you find some new favorite blogs from my list.

Note: Some of the blogs fall into multiple categories; I have categorized them by my personal favorite aspect they represent.

    1. You're welcome. I tend to over-subscribe and then pare down as I go. Like a little diversity :)

  4. You've got two of my favorite book blogs mentioned, so I'll have to check out your third pick. I also love A Spirited Mind. She writes occasionally about homeschooling as well, but most of her posts lately have been about books. Her reviews are always very thoughtful and well-written and give me a clear idea whether or not the book would be one I'd enjoy.

  6. Love this list! I often find I've subscribed to too many blogs and have to decide which ones are most important, it's nice to find new ones that are recommended so I can pare down more... thanks!

  7. A terrific list, Keri! I read or check in on most all of the blogs on your list. I like the way you have them categorized. I'm weeding through my own subscriptions lately to be more focused in my reading. I appreciate your input as I work through it.
    Have a wonderful week!
