I hang out on the web occasionally, you know, once in a blue moon. When I do there are certain sites that never disappoint me. I thought I'd share them with you. Let me know if there's any you haven't heard of and what you think! Share your favorite places in the comments.
Values.com - I saw billboards for this website on the way to Florida and went to check it out. Love the messages it shares. Inspiring.
The 4-Hour Work Week - Chris Brogan brought this up at Disney Social Media Moms. Cool website. Starting book soonish, as soon as I can find time in my 40 hour work week. Bahahahaha.
Healthy Child Healthy World - This site is loaded with information on how to navigate through this world full of chemicals and pesticides and keep your child healthy. Love, love, love this site.
Best Tools for Schools - ***Alert, Alert*** Blatant self promotion, but it is one of my favorite sites. If you live in Ontario, get your school on board.
Good Enough Mother - I met Rene Syler at Disney Social Media Moms and loved her. I wasn’t familiar with her site before that but am so glad I am now. Rene wades into every debate, not afraid to offer her own unique opinion. She values your opinion too, so go share it with her.
Speed Skating Mom - Sharon (Inside Scoop) started speedskating, then like all 40 somethings who start speedskating she decided it was worth starting a blog about. And she was right! It is so much fun. ***
Forever in Mom Genes - Lisa blogs here under Party Mummy, but also has her own website. She is witty, smart and full of heart. Lisa doesn’t know it, because I’m a terrible commenter but I routinely stalk her there.***
Awkward Family Photos - This is just good clean fun kids. Well, not for kids really because some of them are, well, awkward but so, so funny.
Damn You Auto Correct - Holy Duck! I love this site. I went to cut and paste the url for this and spent an hour there. My cheeks hurt from laughing so hard. Need a pick me up? Go here, regularly. So much fun.
Via Institute on Character - Go to this site to find out what your top “signature” strengths are. Take the survey, then surf around on this fascinating site.
Common Sense Media - Sometimes I get stuck. There's a lot of information to wade through when it comes to our children. Is this appropriate? How do other parents weigh in on this? I haven’t heard of it? I go check it out frequently and I actually ENJOY getting their newsletters in my inbox.
Allrecipes - I like to hang out here and lurk in the dessert section. Cookies anyone? How about 4,461 of them? Yum. Also, if I have leftover chicken for example, I can enter that in the search engine and get some help on how to use it up.
Globe Trotting Mama - Heather is about to start travelling the globe with her family. Squeeeeee and aaaaaaaaargh all at the same time. You'll want to follow this blog over the next year for sure.
The Boot Camp Blog - I’m not gonna lie, Carrie scares me a little. I am grateful for the distance between us because I think if she lived close to me she’d be dragging my sorry ass out of bed every morning. Carrie doesn’t hold back. She tells it like it is and for that reason, she’s got my total respect. I’m cheering from the sidelines Carrie.
Martha Stewart - I have a girl crush on Martha. In an alternate reality, I would be Martha. Glittering everything as I baked in my state of the art, spotlessly clean kitchen with organic produce out of my garden, all the while being impeccably dressed. *sigh* I want to live in Martha Stewart’s world, so I go lose myself in her website.....frequently.
***Note: Although some may see this as a form of favoritism among YMC bloggers, I can assure you it's not. These two women are simply amazing writers and you would not waste your time reading their blogs.
