Adventures in Blog Following

I have been waiting to figure out a little more about blogging and more specifically the program I use, Blogger, before I attempted this post.  I know think I have a little better knowledge so I can make the links look pretty.  When we moved to Rochester, extreme couponing was just starting to become all the rage.  I remember watching the Today Show and seeing Crystal Pain of Money Saving Mom describe how her life has changed since she became Money Saving Mom.  She also gave a mini coupon class on the show and I thought "wow, I could totally get into that!"  At the end of the segment they gave her blog address, and I wrote it down.  A few days later as I was cleaning up the counter clutter I came across that paper and decided to go to her blog.  I was hooked!  Not only did she have great tips and advice and deals, but you also got to read more about her and know that she has a crazy, not so perfect life to and she makes it work. 

You all know that Google is my best friend.  So I started looking for other blogs that would list deals and tips.  I came across Mary Beth Hamilton of Baby Good Buys and here is where I hit the jackpot in my opinion.  Not only does she post some amazing ideas and deals, but she puts everything in one place.  For example each week she posts the best Amazon diaper and wipes deals.  What is easier than that!  It gets better, you can have her daily posts sent to your email address every day and make sure you get all her deals everyday.  So many of you ask where I find my stuff and while I do a lot of research on my own I usually always double check with Baby Good Buys too to make sure I haven't missed something!

I often find blogs about regular people who are doing regular things.  My new favorite blog to follow is Kelly at Secrets of a Running Mom, because that's just what I am into right  now :).  Below is a short list of other great blog sites for deals and such that you all might find intersting. Do you have any favorites that you follow?

  1. http://blessedbeyondwords.com/ is my favorite blogger. She is a mother of 6 and blogs about how chaotic, but fun her life is raising 6 kids and although I'm 2 kids behind her, I feel like I can relate a lot to her... And the best thing is she can't cook either, so it helps me not feel so bad about burning eggs!
