TGIF Round Up: Desperately seeking new blogs edition

by Karen on September 11, 2009

I’d like to get some cleaning and organizing done around the house, but the weather is supposed to be beautiful this weekend. So we’ll see what actually gets done. :)

I’ve been in an organizing mood, though. I just did some cleaning up in my Google Reader, and deleted blogs that aren’t updated anymore or that I haven’t been reading. Now I’m in the market for some new reading.

What blogs do you read? I’m looking for personal finance, simplicity, organization, and lifestyle blogs. I can’t wait to read your suggestions!If you write a blog, let me know, and if I don’t read it already, I’ll add you!

And now for some links from some of the blogs I already read:

Happy Friday! Don’t forget to leave a blog suggestion in the comments!

I keep a blog about simplicity and natural homemaking. I also have a page of other blogs that I enjoy reading which are about the same topics!

I would like it greatly if you read my blog.

Also, and I’ve mentioned this on my blog recently, but I love http://www.alreadypretty.com . This doesn’t fit in any of your categories, but you might like it anyway. It’s style/fashion/body image. She’s a great blogger.

And I know you didn’t say anything at all about fashion, etc., but academichic.com is style with a scholarly bent. Just look at it, k?

You probably already read Simple Mom and Small Notebook.

And http://frugalforlife.blogspot.com

Oh, and one more: http://failblog.org/

I don’t know what blogs you are reading, of course. If you come on my blog and look at my left sidebar, you’ll see Want What You Have. This is a great blog that mixes organization, frugality, and even lifestyle! I love Heather’s blog.

Have you read The Grocery Cart Challenge, $5 Dinners, or Organized Junkie? (Also on my left sidebar).

I don’t know if my blog would interest you, as I don’t write about frugality much. I don’t even know how to describe it as it changes. One day it’ll be a funny post and the next day a serious one, or a bunch of pictures. It’s sort of unpredictable, lol!

Let us know when you find some great blogs as I always enjoy finding a new one.

I haven’t been updating very much recently, but I just blog about my life with my husband and two dogs. One of my dogs looks so much like Howie, just smaller! :)

One of my favorites is called Conversion Diary (www.conversiondiary.com). She always has great stuff.

My blog (Happy Little Homemaker) has a little bit of whatever I happen to be doing at this particular juncture in life–couponing, cooking, pregnancy stuff (coming shortly), religion, book reviews, learning/kid stuff, etc.
