Today I would like to feature new or newer blogs that have captured my attention or imagination and that you may like too. The first two are very special, as they are written by children. The first is a blog full of interesting tidbits that keep life full of the desire to learn: http://annaxandria-storygirl.blogspot.com. The second, written by one dear to my own heart, is primarily book reviews by a true lover of books; http://literaturesrealm.blogspot.com.
Next up is a family whose lives are rich and a little different, but not as much as you might think. Since I always wanted to live in the country with lots and lots of children, and discovered a little bit late that midwife would have been my vocation of choice, her life has always seemed perfectly lovely to me. http://manyhandshouse.blogspot.com. The past couple of posts are on stinging nettles and herbal healing traditions, there are others a little more controversial...and served straight up!
My dear, long-time friend from France has started her first blog, and it is a delicious treat for one's tired eyes. http://bleuchine.canalblog.com/. Just taking a tour through her beautiful blog; one of flowers and antique finds that she fixes up or uses in new ways, has made me feel more French. I've been inspired to dig out things hidden away in cupboards and visit my local thrift and resale shops looking for that perfect something to do a mundane job in a more beautiful way. Ugly compost (slop) bucket...finally replaced by a blue and white porcelain canister, broken soap dish replaced by brown plate, now replaced by a very kitsch-y swan holder. Don't let the language deter you, just soak up the sights, if nothing else. She has promised an English version soon.
The kids are wondering just when breakfast will be today...Happy blog browsing!
