I am afraid I am a late developer when it comes to blogging and that includes reading them and writing this one. Before blogging I frequented a lifestyle/mummy forum, and I was a member there for a year or so. I was able to chat about pregnancy, birth, co-sleeping, bottle v's breast, bereavement, PND and the issues of being a (stay at home), Mama on the forums, and it was really good to have other people to relate to. When someone I 'chatted to' linked to her blog, it was the first time I went and looked at a blog. I had no idea there were so many types of blogs out there. My husband is a designer so I was vaguely aware of the design/professional blogs he was reading and that was about it. Now almost a year later since I started reading blogs, I don't have time to frequent the forum, but that's ok, because I have found some lovely inspirational blog sites to visit instead. As a wee tribute to my last year of blog reading, here are some links to my favorite bloggers (in no particular order). There are a few more in my bookmarks, but some I couldn't find email addresses for, some didn't post regularly and some have stopped completely (RIP Twig And Toadstool).
