Blogs in general

I only read about 10 blogs... mostly because I'm still searching for good ones that aren't all about the kiddos. (I don't have kids yet.)

I want to read blogs about marriage and their day to day lives. But not blogs about marriage that are all preachy and crap. Not blogs that are 100% positive and happy. I don't want to read blogs that are all negative either. Then it's like, "well then why the heck did you marry this guy?"

I like to read blogs that include the good, the bad and the in-between. It makes me feel like I'm normal, and shows me that I'm not the only one going through the stuff that I do. Other people have been there before. It can put things in perspective for me.

Now there are a few that I read that are a step or two ahead of me in life - such as husband already in the military, or already starting to have children. I still enjoy them even though we're not in the same place because I learn from them. I get ideas from them. I store the things they say in my memory for later use when I DO get to that point. Marriage Confessions is a great example! I stay away though if the majority of posts are about the children. I still don't really like children, and really don't want to look at a million pictures of a child I don't know, or read about their first time rolling over. Now and then is okay by me, though.

I don't enjoy specific blogs like crafting, DIY, gadgets, whatever. It's boring to me and there are usually more things I would never even want to do than there are things that I like and might consider doing. So that's why I like the general life blogs.

Now I just need to find more that update regularly, even if only once a week like me. Oops.
