Spreading the Love, #3

***Warning***  I'm making up for not posting here in forevers with a mammoth meandering post of posts.  

Harper had an icky chest cold this week.  She sounded like Yoda, and would cry when she coughed.  Poor baby girl.  So, like most sick kids, she got to watch all the TV and drink all the juice she ever wanted.  

Yesterday she sounded better.  I turned off the TV.  It was not till late last night I saw the horrific coverage of what is happening in Haiti.  If you have a US cell phone, you can donate $10 to the Red Cross by texting "HAITI" TO "90999".  Or, for a list of ways you can help, click here.

(Abrupt subject change (I told you this meandered.)) While Harper had her icky chest cold, her super rad godparents came for a visit!  It was so wonderful to see them, even if Harps was a hot mess.  They brought her something I've been coveting for a while now, eco-dough!  So fun!   

Also this week, Our friend Josee posted on her blog her list of fave blogs.  We made the list!!!  Whoo-who!  I do love blogs, seriously, sworn addict.  I love far away friends blogs, like Josee's & Molly's.  We have moved so much over the years, it is beyond lovely to see and read about what our distant buddies are up to.

Of course, I love mama blogs!

Belle Plaine  Other than just being an awesome mama blog, Sara lives I suspect ridiculously close to our old place in Chicago.  So, it is a little like seeing reading about what could have been if we had been able to stay there.

Soule Mama 

Angry Chicken Although this is more of a craft & general bad ass homemaking blog than a mama blog.

Then, there are the design blogs.  Oh, lately it is an obsession.  This, I'm sure, is hormonal.  Often I don't like to look longingly at things that tempt me to spend money or feel like our stuff is not fabulous enough.  Sometimes, though, I just LOVE looking at pretty pretty things.  And so it goes:

Making it Lovely  (Again, a Chicago blog.  God help me, I even miss the winter there.  It is going to be in the 40s this week.  The snow has already mostly melted.  I feel deprived of my two months (at least) of winter white brutal cold spent moping indoors.)  Any-who, other than inspiring posts about the ongoing process of making a house a home and bits about style in general, there is a baby involved.  Need I say more?

Oh Happy Day

Last, but not least, the little bits of beautiful at A Collection a Day, 2010.

Please share, what are your fave blogs?

Thank you, Jane! I love all of them. Yeah, fun new blogs to follow!

[Sara @ Belle Plaine]

Yahoo! Thanks for the link-up! I believe we have very similar taste as most of the ones you mentioned are in my Reader. I'm off to click on the new ones now.

And yes, I think we are pretty close to your old neighborhood! Roscoe Village, right? We're just on the other side of Irving Park Rd. and spend quite a bit of time (and money) strolling down Roscoe.

Yup, Roscoe Village. Oh, I miss that place like crazy! We were close to With Grace, that little card shop, and Lush, the wine shop. Oh, and John's Place! Yum & so kid friendly!
