What I’m reading…

June 14th, 2010 • Other

Welcome back! Have you subscribed to my email newsletter yet?

On a daily basis, I read 170 blogs. Seriously. From my 170 subscriptions, over the last 30 days I read 5,358 items, starred 15 items, shared 159 items, and emailed 10 items.

The blogs I like the most are:

ohdeedoh
The Kitchen
CRAFT Magazine
Unplugged
kottke.org
Curbly
Inspire me, now!
Seth’s Blog
whip up
Little Homestead in the City
Coquette

The problem is, lately I’ve grown disinterested in a lot of the other blogs. Either people have stopped posting, their posting things other than what I was first reading about, or my taste has changed.  I want to read more about cooking, sewing, canning, gardening, bread making, candle making, soap making, and crafting. I want to read less about cloth diapering and business.

I went through and removed all the inactive blogs (in google reader, there’s a trend report and you can see when the blogger last posted), which brought my subscription count down from 201. Yikes.

  • A beautiful kitchen island (finally!)
    Welcome to what I like to call THE LONGEST PROJECT IN THE HISTORY OF MAN. OK, a little dramatic, but really. It took forever. Serious. Serious. It started two and a half years ago when I took our builder basic kitchen island: And added some molding and paint: The sides of the island were made from that crapastic laminate stuff that you need to paint with pri […]

  • Disturbing. Distressing. Heartbreaking. Sad.
    A sense of sadness. Uneasiness. Distress. A memory of many decades ago. Back. Clear. Painful. Like it just happened. Just now. It involves a boy. A young boy… 14, going on 15. A boy I had in one of my Reading classes. A boy whom Barry had, too, in one of his Math classes. The boy was small.  Slight.  A shock of black, wavy hair a stark contrast to his pale s […]

  • How to Bring Peace to the Witching Hour
    Many parents notice that from roughly 4 to 5 pm, every day is a difficult time for their children. This rough spot in the day seems to affect children from newborns on up to adolescence.  To be honest, it’s the one time of the day that takes me to the brink of absolutely losing it. What is the witching hour? This hour that rocks and rolls in all the wrong wa […]

  • Emotional RICE
    Any good derby girl (that is, one who has had an injury) knows the importance of RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. Following these steps ensures a timely recovery from the breaks and bruises that come with the sport. I am an expert at these steps because I have suffered quite a few injuries over the past few years. I was thinking how nice it would […]

  • On geeking out.
    Yesterday was a day for geeking out. I posted a cute video of my 4 year old telling me a Phineas and Ferb bedtime story, swooning with mommy love at his creativity and may I just say, fantastic memory. It really impresses me how much of the show’s details he has absorbed and memorized – and this is a trait that carries through to many other areas. Songs we l […]
