Summer Blog Reading

My blog is now officially 3 years old! I love blogging now just as much (if not more) as when I started. Over the last couple of years around this time I have listed the most popular posts for the past year, but I am doing something different this year.

The last couple of months of 2010 were super busy for me and I read less blogs and commented on very few blogs. I missed the interaction. So this post is highlighting some new blogs that I have found and enjoyed reading even if I haven’t commented very much 🙂 .

Keep Cate Busy

Don’t you just love it when your friends start blogging???? Cate has been blogging since September and has managed to post every day – so impressive. Cate shares great recipes, craft ideas and ways to make your day a little bit more special.
My favourite post of the moment: Simplicity is the key

Maxabella Loves

I have linked to Maxabella Loves before, but had to include it in this list too. So often her posts make me reflect on what is going on in my head. Like my current favourite post in which Maxabella talks about her ‘career’ and wanting to be “a something” and not “in something”.

1000 Homes Of Happiness

Kell with the help of her kids is making 1000 origami homes of happiness and leaving them at their favourite places for a lucky person to find. Each home has a word on it. I have emailed Kell so I can release a home with my kids this holidays.

Sarah is having a little bloggy break at the moment as she has her fourth child, but there is plenty in her archives to check out though. A kindred spirit with love of lists and organisation!

A blogging type blog to end with. A very new blog by a friend Brenda looking at the growing power of the mummy blogging niche.

If you have a fave new blog (less than 12 months old) I would love it if you would list it in the comments and feel free to add your own if you have one!
