Here are eight of my favorite blogs:

Pioneer Woman – I’m pretty sure we’d be best friends if we knew each other.  She is fun, down to earth, and extremely talented. She has a cooking, photography, and personal blog.  I mostly follow her photography blog.   I wish I would win one of her giveaways one of these days . . .

Dooce -  This is the mother of all blogs, right?  I’ve been reading her blog for years and David and I talk about what’s going on in her life like she is part of our extended family.  We’re LAME, WE KNOW.  She is a very witty, edgy writer.  She and I view most things very differently, but I enjoy her writing style.

Write Stuff – This blog is by my friend Melanie.  She used to be my assistant manager when I worked for the Limited a few years ago.  She is now following her dream of being a writer and has just completed her first manuscript.  Go buy it when it comes out!  (She has a publisher already, so really, buy it when it hits the shelves!)  Every entry is very witty, funny, and of course, well written.  She rocks.

C Jane – I love Courtney’s writing style.  Very thought provoking and sincere.  She is Stephanie Nielson’s sister (from Nie Nie Dialogues who was in a plane crash with her husband and over 80% of her body was burned) and the love and admiration she has for her family is amazing.  This blog will lift your day.

Mormon in Manhattan – This is a childhood friend who now lives in Manhattan.  She stars in Grease on Broadway.  She is fun, whimsical, and witty.

Navel Gazing at its Finest – This writer is funny, and raw.  She is so real, I started to cry when she blogged about going bankrupt, loosing her house and her car.  It sounds depressing, but she is hilarious!  (BTW, she worked out a way to keep her house and get her car back) She also has a book coming out soon . . .

Pulsipher Predilections – Okay, this blog is written by Kristina who TOTALLY CRACKS ME UP!  I laugh every time!  (Hi Kristina!)  Read it, you’ll get hooked.

A Little Sussy – This professional photographer posts her weekly photoshoots and other fun things.  It’s a light read, and full of great photography.
