I have a blog roll, but I haven’t updated it in forever.  Some of the people listed over there aren’t even blogging anymore.  I keep meaning to make a new list, but it’s just one of those things that just doesn’t happen.   So when Clever Girls and Tropicana asked about my favorite bloggers, I jumped right in.  And you know what?  Narrowing it down to five bloggers is hard. I have met so many great people through blogging and there are so many amazing writers out there!   And, in typical Bridget fashion, my top 5 tends to change every day.  But today…here are a few of my faves.  I hope you’ll take a few minutes to drop by each of these sites and say hello!

Emily at DesignHerMomma – I met Emily through Casey(see below) at BlogHer ’09.  She is a mom of three and I find myself nodding in agreement to almost every post she’s ever written.  Being a mom is hard, yo.  But it’s also wonderful.  Sometimes I feel like she’s in my head and can see the secret things I always want to say but don’t know how.  (Also?  I wish I could be a tenth as thrifty and stylish as she is!)

Casey at Moosh In Indy – What’s not to love?  She’s adorably pocket-sized and one of my absolute favorite photographers of all time.  There is emotion in her work – writing and photography – that you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere else.   Plus she has the most beautiful curly haired munchkin and a snuggly new love, too.

Stacey at Is There Any Mommy Out There? – Also a mom of 4 small people, she makes me laugh. A lot.  She also makes me cry.  She makes me think.  (It is possible that I’ve actually snorted a time or two while reading some of her tales of life with with 4 littles plus a horse-size dog.)  This one brings tears to my eyes every time, but also makes my heart smile.

Kim and Donyale at Coffee Cup Ramblings – Ok, so this is a new blog.  But it is wonderful and funny and smart and witty and written by two of my favorite people.  I grew up with these lovely ladies and I am so glad they are sharing their writing with zee internets.   Go read a few of their posts.  You won’t be disappointed.  I promise.

Beckie at Infarrantly Creative – Because no Bridget-list would be complete without a craft site.  Most of the craft ideas I do come from this site or from Dollar Store Crafts.  It is here that my obsession with the Silhouette machine began.
