I’ve added some new blogs to my blogroll over there on the right and every time I find one that’s worthy I add it in. I’m very picky so you can trust me, they are all great sites.
Electric Boogaloo is one of the few ‘mommy blogs’ that I read because she is hilarious! Her post today is about life with a toddler. So, if you have one, go read it and you’ll see how true it is! And her previous post about that was titled Car Shopping for Dummies with Children. Good stuff.
Not Martha is a great site about food, crafts and shopping for everyone (not Martha Stewart, get it?!) This was a recommendation from Tara, ages ago.
Will Work For Food is yet another food-related blog. (See a trend here with me? Shut up.) Are you one of those people that never know what to make for dinner? Do you frequently order out for fast food or microwave a Hungry Man dinner? Do you like cooking? Do you have hands? Do you buy something just cause the label looks good? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this site is for you. We’ll also feature links to daily food related goodness, whether it’s a new product, a new restaurant or anything food related in general.
And finally, The Consumerist. It’s the opposite of foolishness but it has the most excellent, useful information. If you know me, you know I can not STAND being jerked around by *customer service* agents on the telephone and I’ll call back every hour and devote my entire day to the cause until I get what I want. (Oh, the riveting stories I could tell.) Anyway, that’s just one teeny aspect of what this site can help you with – it’s for everyone.
