Vol. 1 - Blogs
Seriously...I wish I had time to read books but the littles (that's no typo) are small enough that it rarely happens. I think the last book I made it through was when they were still young enough to nap twice a day or actually went to bed at a decent time. Neither of which happen anymore. So until then, blogs will suffice.
---> Yes, you're getting a shout out on this blog! This blog belongs to Nikki who lives in my hometown. I started following this blog a few months ago. The first blog I mention goes to her because reading her blog inspired me to finally get this one started. She's a small town woman/wife/mother who shares her journey through live, her love of philanthropy, her love of classic films and so much more. She is candid and keeps it real with her readers. She shares the bad as much as the good when I love that about her blog. I have a great amount of respect for that kind of honesty!
Some of you might know him without even realizing it. He had a great blog article that went viral last year called "16 Ways I Blew My Marriage". He spoke a voice you don't often hear in divorce. But besides that he tackles everything from his views on morality to strange confessions from readers. I love that he encourages reader participation!
I have one particular sister-in-law in mind when I read some of these posts. I sometimes envy that my kids don't seem "blog worthy". I haven't figured out yet if that's a blessing or a curse. And it may just be a matter time. You all will be the first to know if that's the case. She's also got me convinced that I am absolutely right when I say I'm done having children!
This is the newest blog I follow and simply because of the intrigue surrounding his journey. It recently went viral in the last week or so which is the only reason I even know about it. He's breaking the mold that he created for himself and since he's pushing some controversial societal boundaries it will be interesting to see how people react. The short story: this blog will chronicle one pastor's life as he spends the next year without God. Although I'm a pretty private person, I'm a pretty liberal one too. My lines on morality when it comes to things such as love and religion aren't as rigid as more conservative people. I like to see how society reacts to people who challenge these lines.
Also another blog that went viral this last week. Anyone recognize this picture from this week's Facebook feed, twitter, etc?

This picture holds a special place in my heart. It reflects the kind of man that I was lucky enough to marry. Although my husband has a few duties that belong strictly to Mommy when I'm home, he is completely hands on. We have a system that works for us. For instance, I absolutely hate cooking. Not because I don't know how to but because it's something I don't even remotely enjoy. I can't even tolerate it enough to process the thought of having to do it every evening. I have no problem telling that to the world. For my husband, he can spend all day in the kitchen. He enjoys it. He REALLY enjoys it. And some days he needs a break so I'll cover. There are plenty of other things we split to but you get the point. I will depart this blog description with a quote from one of his news interviews this week. "Memo to the small pocket of male haters I have: Why don't you put big boy shorts on and get in on the revolution of good fathers? It's not a good look to tear down dads for doing the work your wives wished you were man enough to do on your own. If you don't believe me, just ask your spouses. They'll tell you." You hear that? The sounds of you cheering from your computers...Lol
Just a few other things that this week will bring:
- Netflix, binge watching commence: Breaking Bad is a new favorite of mine! Yes, I'm terribly late but that happens when you don't have cable
- Amazon Prime: All 3 seasons of Veronica Mars. Just in time for the movie in March.
- New Season of FaceOff on SciFi starts this week! Thank you to my secret websites for streaming these shows not available on network websites!
Maybe some of you will check these sites and maybe you won't. But regardless, thank you all for your support and the time you take to visit my blog!
