10. Mind Doodles
Things I like about this blog: I love the title and tagline, clever and creative use of words. Kris is seriously a great person and an awesome mother. She has A LOT to offer novice moms like me.
Things I don’t like about Kris as a blogger: We hang in the same circles a lot so she might beat me to good post ideas… :)
9. The Domestic Un-Goddess:
Things I like about this blog: She’s funny. It has adorable pictures and funny stories about my nieces and nephews, whom I love like crazycakes.
Things I don’t like about Gretchen’s blog: It’s pink and cute and mine is black and boring. (Not that black is bad—dude, stop being so racist.)
8. Jonathanbow.com
This is my pastor’s blog. He’s a pretty cool cat. Smart, great leader. Totally real guy. Devotes entire blog posts to his son’s flatulence—now come on, that’s funny.
Cons of Jonathan’s blogs: Hmmmm…. Not too much bad to say. (other than I am not a fan of the term “smokin’ hot” which he regularly uses to describe his wife, which, incidentally, she IS extraordinarily beautiful… I might just chose a different term to describe my wife if I had one.)
7. Greg Goebel:
This is my cousin, Vicky’s husband. I love this family. He’s a pastor of an Anglican Mission In America church in Georgia. I wish they were my next-door neighbors because I am pretty sure we’d be best friends. (Well, I’d like to think we would be.)
Things about this blog you might not enjoy: Greg is really wicked smart, so it’s a bit heady. You may, like myself, find yourself not really understanding what he is saying.
6. Confessions of a Tired Supergirl:
I don’t know this lady, but she could be me. My friend Adrianne pointed me to her blog. It’s really funny. Discusses the joys and perils of mothering from a very real place.
Things I don’t enjoy about this blog: She’s much funnier than I am and I find myself wishing I had thought of some of the things she says.
5. Confessions of a CF Husband:
If you haven’t seen this blog yet, you need to check it out. It’s an amazing story. The guy who writes it is named Nate, who is a worship pastor on the Outer Banks of NC. His wife is named Trish. She has Cystic Fibrosis and is awaiting a lung transplant at Duke. A little over a month ago he and his wife had a baby about 15 weeks premature. So baby Gwennyth is also at Duke in the NICU. This is his story about basically living in the hospital with his wife and his daughter.
Cons: Really sad stuff, but in a good way if that makes any sense.
4. HCH:
This is the Haitian Children’s Home blog—all the bi-weekly updates get put up here so you can find info about the day to day goings on at the home.
Con: Is only updated bi-weekly and you’ll find yourself wanting MORE!
3. Stephen Claybrook:
Steven is our worship pastor at Crosspointe. In addition to being a really, really gifted musician and vocalist, Stephen is a dad and a regular guy. His blog is a compilation of music tips, his Rubik cube obsession, and proud daddy moments.
Cons: Could stand to have far more photos of his adorable daughter, Darby.
2. The Life and Times of the Mangine FIVE:
Dude, this chick is a MESS. Totally insane stay-at-home mother of three. Never has a clean house. Yells at her kids a lot. Husband’s been accused of a felony.
Cons: Absolutely nothing. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry. You’ll thank God you’re not her.
