It's how I (blog) roll...

The first one is fairly new. I began receiving the Faith & Family magazine a few years ago and is a great source of information for this Catholic family. The blog is like a live version of their magazine. Lots of discussions and fun things to read. http://faithandfamilylive.com/blog/


http://daniellebean.com/ is the very first blog I ever read. She is an incredible writer, woman and mother to 8! I was first introduced to her books "Mom to Mom, Day to Day" & "My Cup of Tea; Musings of a Catholic Mom" a few years ago. She's funny and it is easy to relate to her and the craziness she talks about in her household.


I came upon my favorite blog, http://mommylife.net/ about a year and a half ago and was able to follow a journey of a woman as she made some major life changes. I now consider her a friend. There is a huge amount of information on her site from politics, religion, parenting to dieting (which is where I'm a bit involved).


Believe it or not there is another mother out there that has more boys than me and she writes to about it. Visit http://www.testosterhome.net/ for a great laugh!

I began following the story of Nathan & Tricia Lawrenson a year ago and it has stuck with me and brought me to my knees countless times in prayer. http://cfhusband.blogspot.com/ It is an incredible love story and double miracle with the birth of their little girl at 24 weeks and then Tricia receiving new lungs just a few months later secondary to CF.

Elizabeth Foss is a parishioner of ours and local author. She has a wonderful blog on motherhood, parenting, Faith and homeschooling all intertwined and generously shared with readers http://ebeth.typepad.com/reallearning/.

Another blog written from a man's perspective and one that I stumbled upon via Google Reader, http://www.mattlogelin.com/, is another one that from the very beginning was heavy on my heart and what that I read to remind myself to pray for this man and his daughter. He lost his wife 27 hours after the birth of their first child and so the blog chronicles him getting on with life and raising his daughter.


Finally, the last blog is a satire written by a friend that lives in Maryland. He's funny (but I don't let him know that I think that!) http://votenomalley.blogspot.com/

So that's about it. I grab my cup of coffee in the morning and hop on to see what's new on these blogs through Google Reader and then usually again during nap time before it starts to get crazy around here. Which it is now about to do! The buses are arriving so it's time to start homework, come up with a dinner plan and then scoot the two oldest off to karate.
