blog friends

So here we go:
The Liebster Award is meant to connect us even more and spotlight new bloggers who have less than 200 followers.

Here are the rules:

1. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
2. Reveal your top 5 picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
3. Post the award on your blog.
4. Bask in the love from the most supportive people on the Internet – other writers.
5. And best of all – have fun and spread the karma!

I started this a long time ago and never finished.  Now it's mainly going to be a list of my 5 favorite blogs.  Hopefully you find some new ones to enjoy!

http://www.jonacuff.com/stuffchristianslike/  The comments may be funnier than the blog, but I think a lot of people have found that they aren't alone in their feelings or finding something funny.
http://bree1976.wordpress.com/ Lake Blackshear and Mackinac Island blog.  A couple has houses in both Georgia and Mackinac and lives half a year in each.  She started the blog to keep friends in the other home updated and the Mackinac tourism promoted it.  Now 300k read it each month.  She just has a way of making everyone feel like they know her friends and family.  I've never met her, but when we were on Mackinac Island this summer I kept an eye out for Bear and Maddie, their two dogs.
http://thesweetsimplethings.wordpress.com/  One of my very good Laura Ingalls Wilder friends blog about her life.
http://girlygirl.typepad.com/  One of my favorite authors.  You can be Christian and sarcastic and like reality TV.

The next three are ones that I like but not the I have to check daily or are big enough that my endorsement isn't important.
http://allthingslauraingallswilder.com/  and http://beyondlittlehouse.com/  Two Laura blogs - are you surprised?
http://learningmylines.blogspot.com/  A youth ministry and pop culture blog.  I've heard the author speak a few times and enjoyed it.
