I Came, I Saw, I Blogged...Posted by Leigh in Untagged   |

Blogs. First of all, I don’t like whoever named them...I mean, blog, really? It sounds like ‘blah’, which is ironic if you use it in a sentence like, “I’m so excited to read so and so’s new Blah!” My mom says its sounds like ‘butt’...I don’t necessarily agree with this one, but she followed it up by saying, “like cigarette butts. I mean, who wants to smoke a butt?” (I’ll leave this one alone).
It’s been a long, rocky road for me and the blog. It wasn’t until this summer I even got past the idea of a blog as being anything but an online, dish-your-heart-out journal, a little like smog. But, as we all do at some point, I am finally opening up to this new (well, kind of) technology that has taken the internet by storm.
So then it happened, my first blog (let’s not get ahead ourselves, I’m still reading them, writing my own is a far off reality). It’s only natural to be drawn to a blog that aligns with your interests. For me, my first, it was 101Cookbooks - “exploring cookbooks, one recipe at a time.” I fell for it. I fell hard. And so begins my infatuation with this cooking blog, dedicated to healthy recipes using fresh, organic and local ingredients with the most beautiful food photography I have ever seen. I started out by searching for recipes, then checked daily for new recipes, now I a full-blown member and receive weekly e-mail with new recipes, recommended cook books and stories from Heidi, the blog’s writer.
From there I formed a new-found appreciation for the blog- The Budget Fashionista , PetSugar (on any in the TeamSugar family), PugSpot (I know...just go with it), The Shortest Blog in the World (another personal favorite), my best friend’s personal blog, My Cuppa Tea and my sister's blog, My Anthropologie . I’m still no blog-a-nista, (come on I’m allowed to make up a ridiculous word, I mean, blog?!, seriously), but to all you non-bloggers, the least I can do is share with you a few of my favorites, just to get you started. Turns out reading commentary, watching videos, and staying ahead of your favorite things online, its not that bad! Blog away!
