The stuff bloggers are made of

What makes us read blogs? Well, I started out with just a couple friends who had blogs and I would check them every once in a while to see pictures of their families and see what they have been up too. Then I found more friends who had blogs, then neighbors and ward members- some of which I barely knew- and I started reading their blogs. Some people who I don't usually say more than hello to in person- in the blogging world I have a friendship with.
But recently I have entered farther into the blogging world. One of my friends,Cristin, has an awesome blog, Tales of an Ordinary Housewife, you should click on it! Through her blog I started clicking on other people blogs and was completely entertained. So then I started searching for blogs of girls like me... And it's addicting! Why do I like to read about random strangers lives? Who knows, but it's nice to know I'm not alone..
Then this Sunday I caught a glimpse on a headline in the daily Herald- "Bloggers unite..." I quickly picked up the paper and read the article. Many of you have probably already heard about Stephanie Nelson and her husband being in a plane crash...I didn't know that she was famous in our blogging world! I went right to her blog and fell in love with her! Her blogs are sweet and insightful, and she is an awesome photographer. Now I feel like I have a friend who is going through a horrible injury. And I want to help! So if you haven't you should go to her blog-

You will love her too- then click on the link to her sisters blog to get updates on Stephanie and Christian, and hear about all the awesome things we bloggers can do to help a fellow blogger in need!

  1. I love Cristin's blog also and find it very entertaining to read other people's blogs. I've even found people we went to BYU with when we were first married!

    Plus we found you guys :)

    P.S. The link didn't work for some reason - I'll have to google her name some time :)

  3. Thanks for the nice "shout out" - I clicked on the link and felt an instant kinship to Stephanie because she had a homebirth. Anyway, what a touching blog she has...
