It may seem strange that a nice Jewish girl like me is finding joy in the writing of an actual preacher. But her blog isn&#8217;t overtly religious &#8212; it&#8217;s more about getting through the day, the same as any other single mom. She writes well and thoughtfully.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been a member of Freelance Success for several years and yet somehow, I didn&#8217;t know about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freelancesuccess.com\/blog\/\">associated blog<\/a> written by Jennie Phipps, who can&#8217;t possibly be a single person, she does so much. She must be a room full of clones. I&#8217;ll be subscribing to the feed.<\/p>\n<p>Pretty pictures and great recipes. What more does one need? <a href=\"http:\/\/mymorningchocolate.com\/\"><em>Check out My Morning Chocolate<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the prettiest pictures I&#8217;ve seen, and great writing about life in Japan are in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.popcornhomestead.blogspot.com\/\">Popcorn Homestead<\/a>. I love the emphasis on things that grow.<\/p>\n<p>All word geeks need to subscribe to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aboutenglishidioms.com\/\"><em>About English Idioms<\/em><\/a>. That&#8217;s all. Just do it.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know that I&#8217;ll read it daily, but when I want a dose of local nature, I can&#8217;t do better than <a href=\"http:\/\/onmounthood.com\/blog\/\">On Mount Hood<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Parenting blogs are a dime a dozen. Good ones, not as common. <a href=\"http:\/\/naturalaspossiblemom.com\/\"><em>Natural as Possible Mom<\/em><\/a> is one of the good ones. Good writing, insightful, and thoughtful.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been a subscriber to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.attainable-sustainable.net\/\"><em>Attainable Sustainable<\/em><\/a> from the start.
