There are maybe 150 bloggers writing daily in the merry month of May as part of the third annual WordCount Blogathon. A few days ago, I mentioned a few of the gems I’d found. I’m more than halfway through the alphabet and have another batch I’ll keep visiting or subscribe to after this month is a fading memory.<\/p>\n
First is Life and Times of a Preacher Mom<\/em><\/a>. 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’t overtly religious — it’s more about getting through the day, the same as any other single mom. She writes well and thoughtfully.<\/p>\n I’ve been a member of Freelance Success for several years and yet somehow, I didn’t know about the associated blog<\/a> written by Jennie Phipps, who can’t possibly be a single person, she does so much. She must be a room full of clones. I’ll be subscribing to the feed.<\/p>\n Pretty pictures and great recipes. What more does one need? Check out My Morning Chocolate<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Some of the prettiest pictures I’ve seen, and great writing about life in Japan are in Popcorn Homestead<\/a>. I love the emphasis on things that grow.<\/p>\n All word geeks need to subscribe to About English Idioms<\/em><\/a>. That’s all. Just do it.<\/p>\n I don’t know that I’ll read it daily, but when I want a dose of local nature, I can’t do better than On Mount Hood<\/a>.<\/p>\n Parenting blogs are a dime a dozen. Good ones, not as common. Natural as Possible Mom<\/em><\/a> is one of the good ones. Good writing, insightful, and thoughtful.<\/p>\n
