Blog Hunt

If you're reading this Monday, I have already flown to Utah to enjoy a little road trip with my oldest son. He's driving home from college, and I thought it would be awesome to spend a little extra time with him (ie have him all to myself), so I'm accompanying him on his trek home. This is especially important to me, being that 4 days after he arrives home we will be sending him off again! On his 23rd birthday! To far away places! For 4 months! AARGH! You'll undoubtedly hear more about that (ad nauseam) soon enough. But for now, let's talk about blogs.

During the next few days as I am doing everything humanly possible to avoid public toilets while traveling across the burning wasteland otherwise known as Nevada, I thought it might be a fun diversion to turn your attention to some of my fave blogs. 

It's true that I have been known to go through blogs like tissue. And I'm always on the lookout for new blogs. But I'm very loyal to the ones I love. As you can see, I already have quite a few listed on my right sidebar. I actually keep up with most of them, and appreciate each one for many different reasons - meaning I appreciate the creators of the blogs and their talents for many different reasons. Here are 10 of my faves - and why I admire them - to treat you to something fresh and new without overwhelming you with a huge list:

Is an activist by how she lives / Sabina from barefoot in the orchard

Takes amazing photographs / Maria from Maria Nissen's blog

Warms my heart with her story / Stephanie from the nie nie dialogues

Energizes me with her shop / Catherine from red shoes blog

A breath of fresh air / Melissa from Operation NICE
