Looking for some new reads? I have a few for you today. It’s the first of the month which means it is time to go blogtipping. It’s easy - you can do it. Just find three blogs you like, tell us what you like about them and leave a small constructive tip for the blogger. Be nice - it’s fun.
My favorite new read of the month is Busymom.
- I love her tagline - better parenting through coffee - yep, that’s me!
- Great use of colors and fun graphics.
- She always writes with such a fun, tongue in cheek style guaranteed to leave you smiling.
Small tip: Um, don’t have any - you are doing great!
Helping me get back into healthy habits is, Live Life…Organics & Your Health
- Her blog’s focus is on a subject that was near to my heart and needs to become a priority again.
- Very crisp design.
- I like the calendars for the date.
Small tip: something funky is going on with the alignment on the right hand side
And I’m also tipping Step-by-Step, Gayla’s blog on blended families.
- While I am not in a blended family situation, Gayla’s blog gives very good insight into the dynamics of a blended family which is helpful to me when dealing with my kids friends who may be.
- I like that it is a team effort - giving the reader more diverse insights.
- Very soothing colors.
Small tip: the BYOB graphic is stretched in the sidebar and a fun header would make the blog more inviting.
And I have a new gig! I joined the b5Media team today as the blogger for the Weary Parent blog. Come over and say hi - better yet, if you have kids that fall into the teen or tween age group, subscribe and join me on my daily journey into raising tweens and teens.
