Blogs or Websites That Move/help You?

The most motivational one is one I've found just recently called: Runs for Cookies. It's a weight loss journey that I can totally relate to. She also has fantastic tips and recipes on her blog.

I have a few blogs I love linked into my own blog.

This one is about intentional parenting, written by a parent who also helps what we call "at risk" kids in Australia. The author does a lot of research and gives a lot of good advice/support on the topic and also blends in bits of her own life with her boys:

Another blogging mom, former teacher, from New Zealand. She's just written a book on tantrums and is covering that on her site:

And one just for fun, written by a mom with wit and verve. She has one child who was adopted from China and one bio kid and plenty of hilarious moments:

I just recently started blogging and it's mainly geared towards my experiences in raising my children and also focusing on my weight loss journey. It's www.wifemomfanatic.blogspot.com

My favorites to follow though are:

A Slob Comes Clean
Organizing Made Fun
Pearls Handcuffs & Happy Hour

I read this blog's posts over and over again. The author is a mom of 4 boys, 3 of whom have Type 1 Diabetes. Reading it is like hearing my own feelings put into words and I appreciate the time that she puts into writing.

Mile Markers by Kristen Armstrong, the former wife of Lance Armstrong. She's a runner and a wonderful mother.

This is my friend's blog: http://mysammieb.blogspot.com/

It always makes me cry when I read it because it just reminds me of how hard they work, how much this mama does for her daughter, and how strong they all are. It also puts things into perspective for me when I'm feeling down.
