I've noticed over the past 6 months or so, that my preferences in blog-reading has changed. When I first started reading various blogs, it was all money-related, get out of debt, save money, change how you shop. I still read a few of those (MoneySavingMom, Mommy Snacks), but I've stopped reading a lot of them. There are only so many posts to read regarding cutting out lattes and shopping around for lower insurance rates. :-) I now find myself drawn to cooking and homemaking sites (Once a Month Mom, $5 Dinners, Life As Mom) and a couple general "my life" blogs (Scribbit, The Finer Things in Life).
Why have my tastes changed? I'm not sure. I still need to save money and spend wisely (or not at all). I don't have young kids, like many of these blog writers do. I'm kind of a hybrid stay-at-home mom, in that I work a full-time job in my dining room and don't homeschool. And sometimes, these blogs spark a bit of guilt. I mean, I enjoy reading all these sites, but oh how I wish something similar had existed back when my children were young! So many times I wish I could go back and have a "do-over" but life doesn't work like that. Perhaps sometime I'll find a similar site dealing with parenting teens. (I'll probably find something about the time my kids go off to college! haha)
I wonder what I'll be reading this time next year. Tune in then to find out! :-)

hi,I have stopped visiting some sites,too. It¨s not only because of their content, but also the changes in my everday life. I want to learn knitting, so I check sites about it and in the process tend to put aside the usual reading/blog list.Time is also a big factor for me and I want to discover other sites.
So true - time is a huge factor! Thanks for stopping by!
