Share the Blog Love: Non-Writing-Related

Since I'm posting my blogs out into the ether hoping that someone (anyone? ... hello? ... Bueller?) might read them, I though I could rack up some good karma by sharing some of the blogs I read regularly. Now, before you look at my long list and think, How on earth does she have time to write if she's reading all these blogs??? I'll dispel your fears by reminding you that I have Google Reader and I'm not afraid to use it. I don't ready every post. I'll check once, maybe twice a day, scan the new post titles, and decide which ones to read. Quite manageable, really.

And now, for the list ... arranged by category.

Foodie Blogs

Bakerella -- Omigods, she makes the most adorable treats. Like this Valentine's Day chocolate box cake. Or these spooky Halloween cake pops.

Coconut & Lime -- Wonderful original recipes. Everything from peppermint ice cream to corn, potato & leek chowder.

Lunch in a Box -- The main source of my bento obsession--and the reason I bought $80 worth of bento supplies in San Fran last summer. I can't even list favorite posts because I love them all. Biggie is my bento hero.

Organization & Design Blogs

Chez Larsson -- This blog is the one exception to the "I don't read every post rule" because I read every post. Benita's home is what I aspire for my home to look like (only with marginally less white). These are some of my favorite posts.

JuBella -- I found this blog through Chez Larsson (more points for Benita) and it's kind of a showcase for design inspiration and inspired design.

Unclutterer -- This blog could just as well go in the next category, but it's their Workspace of the Week feature that lands them under organization. I especially love the makeover posts.

Life Management Blogs

Stepcase Lifehack -- Tons of tips on how to basically make your life easier, on subjects ranging from starting your own business to being more productive. My favorites are their awesome lists.

The Simple Dollar -- How to save money. It's as simple as that. Some truly inspired posts.

Zen Habits -- Leo is kind of a demi-god among the blog-geek community. His posts on how to live simpler, happier, healthier, and more productive should be required reading for everyone.

I hope you found some new gems in this list. I know I get new ispiration from them every day. (Okay, maybe not every day...)

Hugs,
TLC

The only non-book blog I watch is Liana's Paper Doll Blog. She makes fantastic clothing, on paper! http://joechip.net/liana/

What an awesome (and unique) blog, Diana! I'm adding it to my reader. (It was Kaylee’s Pink Shindig Dress from Firefly that got me.) Thanks for sharing!
