I'm going to let you in on a little secret. I read blogs long before I was blogger. I lurked quietly reading about other people's lives, rarely commenting. Then I decided to start my own blog and came out of my blogging shell. I was suddenly participating in blogging communities, commenting on blog posts and coming up with my own content. Over the course of the last 3 years I have encountered many amazing bloggers, but these 5 bloggers take the cake as being the best of the best in my book.

O My Family
AllisonO writes the most heartfelt and sweet posts about her boys OBoy and OBrother and her husband DanO. What I love most about this blog is that her personality seems to just shine through the screen. I'm also in love with the fact that she is a strong Christian woman who uses her blog to spread her grace, faith and love of God. Reading her blog is like having a cup of coffee with your best friend. So go pour yourself a cup and sit down for a chat!

Heir to Blair
I just do not think you can get more real than Blair. She is the most honest blogger who openly talks about such subjects as her struggle with postpartum depression and being a working mom.Her son, Harrison, is the cutest little guy who just melts my heart. Blair's honesty and openness makes her blog a must read for me. 

Enjoying the Small Things
Beautiful. Thoughtful. Inspiring. These are the word that pop in my mind about this truly fabulous blog. If you have not yet visited this blog please do your self a favor and do so immediately (actually wait until you get done with this post then head over there) I promise you will not be disappointed. Kelle has a way of making everyday ordinary events seem extraordinary. She really has made me look at the small things in my life in a whole different way.

Please don't be mad at me for the hours and hours and hours that you will now spend looking through her site. It is so worth it :)

Liz is blogger I look up to. She has crafted her blog into something that is a shining example to other bloggers on how to do it right. Liz has found her blogging "voice" and the high quality of her posts reflect that. In a time where many bloggers come and go, I have a feeling Liz is here to stay as she is a down-to-earth, interesting, and funny blogger that has built a loyal following. Liz's blog is a must add to your reader.

Iowa Girl Eats
Is it weird that I every night I look forward to her post recapping what she ate all day? If it is weird then I'm just... a weirdo, I guess!! Anyways, I love Iowa Girl Eats, not only does she post recaps of what she eats but she provides awesome and easy recipes as well as step-by-step instructions ( with pictures) to make it even easier to follow. I've always wished I was a better and more creative cook so I dream I am by reading her blog. If you love cooking, baking, or just food in general check out this blog.

Now that you know the blogs that I adore, go check them out for yourself! I promise you will find  blogs that make you laugh, cry, smile, reflect, and drool!! Even though I don't "know" these people I do "know" their stories and the happiness they bring me. I have no doubt you will feel the same. Enjoy!
