Updating the Blogroll

It has been an extremely long time since I updated my blogroll. Instead of just updating it, I thought I would update you on my favorite blogs, at the same time.

These are the blogs I visit daily:

Family Blogs:
Rosetta Stone: This is a wonderful family blog that occasionally has rants thrown in. Michelle has 6 children, homeschools, and is wife to Bill, a soldier who also blogs.

Lifetime Learning: A personal blog by a gifted writer. She includes pictures, and farm news. Some of her farm news is hilarious, especially when she talks about her chickens. Plus, I know her in real life. She lives a few blocks from me.

The Mom With Brownies: This is a homeschool blog. However, Shelly goes out of her way to include information on frugal living. She has some amazing tips on frugal and free homeschooling. She also talks about parenting quite a bit. She has 5 sons, 3 of whom are adopted, and were her foster children before she adopted them. They are currently waiting for a little girl to foster. Exciting stuff after so many boys.

Dear Home Front: This is another family blog by another military wife. She also makes beautiful dresses.

Lord, Guard and Guide: This is a family blog by an Air Force vet who is married to active duty Air Force. She has two little girls and is due to give birth to another one at any moment, now.

Sgt and Mrs Hub: What can I say? She takes beautiful pictures. Her family is beautiful. She's a great cook. Always an uplifting read, and she always makes me smile.

The Pioneer Woman: If you are not already reading this blog, and you are reading my blog, I am extremely shocked. But, it might happen. Ree is one of the funniest bloggers I have ever read, closely followed by June Cleaver after a Six-pack. If you're wondering what life on a cattle ranch is like, want some great recipes, want to see pictures of men in chaps, or little girls working cattle, this is the site to see it at. You'll also get a good laugh.

The Joy of Home: Someone else I know in real life. Sheri is funny, has attitude, and lets it out on her blog. But, she mostly blogs about educational things. My favorite feature on her blog is her Character quotes. She comes up with some great ones.

June Cleaver After a Six-Pack: I'm not sure this actually qualifies as a "family" blog. I mean, she does write things about her family. Really, though, it is more of a long, hilarious, ramble about her life. If you need a good laugh, you should visit her on a regular basis. And, since laughter is the best medicine...

Political Blogs:
Quaffs and Quibbles: Bill is the husband of Michelle of Rosetta stone fame. I love reading both their blogs and seeing the variety of writing. Bill writes about Quaffs - he does beer reviews, and Quibbles - things he has quibbles with. I like the title of his blog. But, I also like what he has to say about things. Quite frankly, I enjoy both Michelle and Bill immensely, and if they wanted to move in next door, I would be quite happy with that.

When Evil Prospers: I don't always agree with Dr. Washburn, although I usually do. His writing is well thought out, and worth reading.

Woman Honor Thyself: Angel uses pictures to great effect. She is on top of many issues dealing with Israel, Jews, Muslims, and terrorism. She engenders strong emotion. Either you'll love her or hate her. Either way, she's definitely worth your time. Check her out.

Principled Discovery: This blog is mostly dedicated to information about the homeschooling community. Dana keeps us up to date on many important things that happen in our community, whether it be legislation or debates about the homeschooling community.

Consent of the Governed: What can I say? I agree with Judy about 60% to 70% of the time. Her posts are always extremely thought provoking, which means that I love reading them, even when I don't agree with her.

Cocking a Snook: I almost never agree with these ladies, but I enjoy reading their blog, none the less.

Constitutional Republic: Chas has some great rants. I especially like his Politricks as Normal post.

Threedonia: Quite frankly, these guys don't seem to have enough to do with their time. They have fun with politics. Who wouldn't like that?

As you can see, I spend way too much time in blog world. But, I enjoy it. So, it's worth it to me.
