Little Jack’s Corner

I am one of those women that has a firm image in my head of “who I want to be”, and of course the blogs I read reflect the traits that I admire most in a woman and family.  It’s from these blogs that I gather tips, encouragement, and advice on how to slowly and successfully mold myself into who I desire to be remembered as after I die.  

The typical themes of the blogs I read are…

• Homeschooling
• Christian living
• Proverbs 31 women
• Old fashioned living
• Natural / holistic family care
• Farm living
• Mothering
• Being a good wife
• Cooking
• Home living

I rarely surf outside these bounderies, unless I know the person.  (I do however make allowence for reading the ProBlogger blog to learn bloggy tips!).

Here are just a few of blogs I enjoy regularly because of their “meaty” content and outstanding advice:

• Home Living by Lady Lydia - her “theme” articles are a must read if nothing else!
• Organizing Junkie - if you want to organize, visit this blog.  ‘Nuff said.
• Simple Mom - this blog is so daggum awesome it makes me choke.  The advice and articles are top notch!
• Happy to Be Called Mommy - this little lady is so amazing I feel like crawling under a rock and hiding just from glancing at her fantistic daily happenings.  It puts me to shame!  Just the past few weeks she’s canned a gazillion pints of different home grown things, dried apples, built her kids a playhouse, and all sorts of other amazing things.  And she teachers herself how to do it all too, courtesy of google and reading. :-D 
• Hillbilly Housewife - I don’t quite like this as much as I did when the original owner was running it, but there are still some awesome articles to read! (And the “magic milkshake” recipe from there has become a staple at our house)
• Frugal Abundance - run by the original “hillbilly housewife” owner!  I “moved” with her when she left the hillbilly housewife website to start this new one.
