When I entered the world of blogging, I hadn’t actually read many blogs on a regular basis. I’d catch a post here and there, but I couldn’t honestly say I was a “fan” of any particular blog.

Times have changed.

I have several blogs I love to read consistently and I make it a point to check out at least three new ones a day,  so I can continue to find fresh new goodies. Blogs are addictive like that. It’s great to see so many styles and perspectives. I literally learn something new every day.

I could go on and on about all the funny, talented, heart-touching bloggers I love, but I’m afraid my fingertips might catch on fire. Instead, today, I’ll shine a spotlight on five fabulous bloggers I just can’t get enough of.

Kelley from Kelley’s Break Room

This woman is F-U-N-N-Y! She has such a tight grasp on what makes a gal laugh out loud, it’s practically supernatural. From inviting her readers to make fun of silly CAPTCHA “words” to writing hilarious song parodies, this mama has a must-read blog. If you think I’m funny, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

Kimberly from All Work and No Play Makes Mommy Go Something Something

Whether Miss Kimberly is tugging at your heartstrings or making you laugh ’til you cry, you better believe she can tell a story. She doesn’t sugarcoat the less-than-awesome stuff or pull punches when she’s sharing the hilarious. There are just some bloggers you really connect with on a personal level, and for me, Kimberly is one of them. I love, love, love her.

Ponn from American Muslim Mom

Her site is rich with culture, business savvy and just plain ol’ American family fun. I love her site, because it’s the perfect blend of interesting, intelligent (and sometimes controversial) topics, classic family values and helpful hints on getting the most out of your blog. I tire quickly of blogs that keep reheating the same subjects over and over again. I don’t have to worry about that with Ponn’s blog. If you like to mix it up, you’ll adore her just as much as I do.

Mellissa from Getting All My Ducks In A Row

Do you ever read someone’s blog and just know it’s straight from the heart? Every post Melissa writes is like that. I think she’s fabulous, because reading her blog is like catching up with a dear friend. She throws in a little bit of everything from recipes to crocheting with her aunt and grandma…and there’s a whole lot of giggle-worthy mom stuff to boot. I love reading her blogs while I’m drinking my morning java. It’s just like sitting at a corner cafe and chatting with a pal.

Lauren from My Postpartum Voice

Not only is Lauren helping women who are going through or have experienced Postpartum Depression, she’s also a brilliant writer and always has something interesting to say. While I was fortunate enough not to have had PPD, I can’t get enough of her blog. They’re thought-provoking and positive reads for every woman and mother. She’s got a heart of gold and her blog really speaks to me. Definitely a fab gal.

I love all these ladies. They connect with me on different levels, which is important. Women are complex, and I, ladies, am a woman. If you trust my judgment, do yourself a favor and check these fabulous bloggers out. They all have so much to offer, I just can’t get enough of them.
