Look below for more info on these great blogs:

1. http://nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/ Stephanie Nielson, a stay-at-home-mom who celebrates being a wife and mom. It is very positive and uplifting. I started reading her archives after I heard about the small airplane accident she and her husband, Christian, were in in August. Both survived, the flight insructor died. Christian had burns over 30% of his body while Stephanie suffered burns over 80% of her body. Both were in chemically induced comas for months while they fought to survive. Stephanie is now out of the hospital and has begun to blog again about her new life.  I read this blog because it is so positive and uplifting, and helps me remember the important things in life. It is a true-life drama that unfolds everyday. Stephanie adds great pictures, ideas, and her own “vintage” personality to her posts.
   
2. http://blog.cjanerun.com/ Courtney is the older sister to Stephanie Nielson. After the plane accident, Courtney became mother to 3 of Stephanie’s children and updated Stephanie’s blog. Courtney is a great writer with a wonderful sense of humor. She wrote beautifully about her transition from mother of 1 to mother of 4 and the trials that their family was going through. She updated the progress of the children’s parents as they fought to come back to their family. Now that Stephanie is blogging again, I still enjoy reading Cjane. She also was voted BEST MAJOR BLOG for the 2008 Weblog Awards.
   
3. http://www.makeandtakes.com/ Marie LeBaron’s background is in Elementary Education and uses her talents to create simple, creative, and fun activites to do with young children. Often the crafts use normal things you would have around the house. She also suggest books and activies to go with them for enriching story time, etc.
4. http://www.designmom.com/ Gabrielle Blair is an east-coast mom with a great eye for eye catching classy-handmade crafts, toys, clothing, decor for Moms and children. Great eye candy, and is fun to look through. I have always found great links on her site.
5. http://thepioneerwoman.com/ Ree Drummond is a city girl turn rancher’s wife. She is hillarious to read and very entertaining. Her blog has amazing step-by-step recipes (with all the pictures to go with the steps), photography tips, home and garden ideas, and her on-going Romance novel of how she met and wed her cowboy husband whom she calls Mr. Marlboro. I belive she is in the running for “Best Designed Weblog” for Bloggie this year.
