SisterLisa listed my blog in her top 20 favorite blogs, and asked me to list my top 20 and link up! It sounds like fun to me, but it was harder than I thought to come up with JUST 20! I had to pick the 20 I read the most often, but there are just SO MANY MORE I could add. These are in no particular order, just the random order they came to me.
- Donna Young’s site isn’t exactly a blog, but it is my #1 go-to site for anything related to forms and organization. I’ve followed her site for… ever. All 13 years of our homeschooling. She has a nature blog too, which has apparently disappeared but I’m sure she will re-link it soon.
- The Run Amuck Amber’s blog is a little bit artsy, a little bit playful, and very, very deep. I love her writing, and her thoughts about life, love, God, and raising kids.
- The MOB Society This group of moms (and a dad!) also includes yours truly. All of us are raising sons and learning together in this adventure!
- Our Homeschool Home Robyn is a homeschool mom and also a pretty darn impressive cook. Her food photos make me drool, and the recipes she posts make me want to spend more time in the kitchen.
- See Jamie Blog Jamie is a homeschool and adoptive mom, and she keeps it real all the time. You should pop over and read their adoption story- It’s really neat!
- My Blessed Life Myra hosts the Friday Fails meme, and she’s always good for at least one or two. She has no trouble laughing at herself, and she’s gone one cutie pie little guy she loves to write about too. Her blog is always fun and interesting.
- The Gypsy Mama Lisa-Jo can make me giggle and cry all in the same post. She is from South Africa, writes beautifully, and praises God gloriously.
- The Buttered Side This is a new favorite blog in my reader. I don’t remember how I found her, but when I did I spent half an hour just going from post to post… and laughing my head off! Sometimes she leans more on the PG-13 side, and sometimes we just need to “go there”, ya know?
- Raising Arrows Amy is a homeschooling mom-of-many, expecting baby #7 ANY TIME now! Go here for support for large-family living, homeschooling, and just general how-to-itivness.
- Classic Housewife in a Modern World Amber was my very first blog friend, when I started my first WordPress.com blog. She blogs about homeschooling, frugal living, and life.
- Sunflower Schoolhouse Honey has a massive blog, with more resources than you can possibly imagine stored within! She’s a twins-nursing, homeschooling, Canadian mama and also my graphic designer.
- Sprittibee Heather is another homeschooling mom, and a really great photographer too. She keeps it real, which is really refreshing.
- AP Freewriting Ashley is a great writer, and always encouraging us in the Lord. I met her in January during the Bible in 90 Days challenge and have been stalking her ever since. It’s okay. She knows.
- Layton Family Joy Steph is another blogger I met through B90Days, and I love her heart. It turned out we “run in the same homeschool circles” online.
- Confessions of an Organized Homeschool Mom Bethany is in her 11th year of homeschooling, which is 2 years less than me. Even so, I learn something every single time I read her blog. This lady KNOWS organization!
- Applie’s Place Michelle is a homeschool mom with teens now. I ‘met’ her in Donna Young’s site forums eons ago and have followed her blog almost as long. She teaches a science co-op for teens and posts a lot about that.
- Views From the Farmstead Kiva is a homeschool mom with a very green thumb. She grows, harvests, dries, cans, cooks and blogs all about it.
- The INAdvertent Farmer is a newer favorite of mine. Kim is a fantastic photographer and has the most amazing garden I’ve ever seen. She hosted KinderGardens this year. Which I dropped out of, thinking it was over. I just found out it’s not. *Whoops!*
- Free-Range Kids: How to Raise Safe, Self-Reliant Children (Without Going Nuts With Worry) I think the title speaks for itself. Lenore Skenazy was called America’s Worst Mom, but in my eyes she’s smart, witty, and a VERY GOOD MOM. I love her sense of humor and her blog really calls things like they are.
- Dewey’s Treehouse Mama Squirrel is a Charlotte Mason homeschooler, and I love reading all about their experiences.
So what are YOUR Top 20 Favorite Blogs? Be sure to link up over at The HomeSpun Life!













Great list! A lot of the blogs you mention I already follow, but I hadn’t heard of Confessions of an Organized Homeschool Mom. I definitely need to spend some time there! Even though my kids are grown up now, maybe I could still have some of those organizational skills rub off on me!

None of these blogs are new, either. It’s amazing how MANY great ones are out there and we’ve just yet to discover them.
Fabulous! I look forward to finding new addictions based on your recommendations
