Good Reading

Maybe you've noticed the "Good Reading" section of my blog, maybe you haven't. For those of you who haven't seen these or visited any of the sites, here's a brief intro to some of the blogs I follow.

• Abigail (Mamatouille): Abigail and I went to elementary school together and reconnected via Facebook. She lives in Japan with her husband and two sons and writes about their lives and food. She actually has a couple of blogs. You can access them all from one page, though.
• Ali & Dan: Ali and I were roommates in college at UF (Go Gators!). She writes about her and her family's daily happenings and is a whiz at producing videos. Dan is her husband and a friend from UF, too.
• Erin in the Real World: I have no personal connection to Erin. I happened upon her site when she was a guest blogger for Queen of Quirky (see below). Erin is smart and hilarious. I especially loved her collection of blog entries chronicling her romance with Mr. Perfect. See: You Shook Me All Night Long.
• Queen of Quirky: As with Erin, I have no direct personal connection to the Queen of Quirky. Abigail was a guest blogger for her, which is how I stumbled on to her site. She writes about food, especially wine, and her daily adventures.
• Sam: Sam is not quite 3 years old so I have a pretty good feeling that his mom, Jamie, has been posting photos and writing journal entries for him. Jamie and I go waaaayyy back to middle school.
• Small Notebook: Ahhh... simplicity. I like to read this blog and fantasize about what my house would be like if I could just be more like Rachel. Seriously, she has great tips for eliminating some of the craziness from your life. I usually feel refreshed after reading.
• Voodoo Lily: I found Heather's blog by snooping around some of my friends' blog lists. I've mentioned her site before, but thought she deserved a second spotlight. Her posts have not been as frequent lately, but they are still informative and entertaining. I usually get really really hungry reading her posts. Her photos don't hurt either.

Let me know if there are any other good blogs I should explore. I'm always looking for good reading material for at-desk lunches.
