There are so many smashingly good blogs around the blogiverse that sometimes it makes your head spin. How on earth are people consistently so creative, so articulate, so beautiful and so darn green-inducingly clever?! No wonder these amazing blogs have a zillion followers and witty commenters.
But then.
Then you find a couple of really delightful blogs that you just love reading. They're like carefully wrapped little package that is full of lovely treats for sharing.You're one of their first followers and you settle in, excited to watch them grow and grow and grow.
Only they don't.
People don't seem to find them! And they are missing out on their share of the treat! Here are three of my favourites.
The author of Dancing in the Rain is charming. Her posts are sweet and simple reflections on life with her three girls aged 5 and under. She's creative, compassionate and lively. She has a simple, clever way about her - for instance she is a plastic Christmas tree girl (like me) but read about the delightful way she brought a little smell of Christmas into her home... I immediately went out and copied her, of course I did.
I've been a follower of This Growing Life for ages. I like her so much that she's in my blog roll to remind me to visit her regularly. I like her gardening tips, her musings on her two boys, her political outbursts, but most of all I love her intelligence. I was in hysterics at her extensive muesli testing... and I love that she's okay when I have a bit of a laugh at her diligence. She's a good chick.
I'm new to Joy and Wonder, but I love the way Maree writes. Very thoughtful and clean. She seems to hark back to a time with more presence, more meaning than most of the world around us today. I loved this post she wrote on Curiosity.
Other 'little in followers only' blogs that I love are:
Crepe Expectations
Select All + Delete
The Hills are Alive
Keep Cate Busy (not so little, but still)
A Baby A Buggy and A Boat
Jarrah Jungle
Messy Freckle
1000 Homes of Happiness (stop press, found just now via Nic at Planning with Kids. I liked it so much I edited my post to include it...)
And many more.
There you have it! Super blogs, little only in followers. What's your favourite 'little' blog? Please share a link to your favourite post with us all!
