My favorite blogs tend to be local and they deal with areas that I am hoping to learn more about. The first one is Crafty Farm Girl, she talks about raising animals, crafts, food, and good reads. She never ceases to amaze me and event manages to set up a stand to sell the honey, jams, and eggs yielded by the animals in her suburban home. The second one is written by a friend and I love reading about her adventures with her kids, crafty things she has done, and how she prepares for the holidays. I really enjoy these blogs because I learn much from them and it is a plus that I know both of them personally.

Two of my design favorites are Centsational Girl and Design Sponge
