Blogs I Enjoyed in 2019

January 2, 2020 By AJ 1 Comment

Yes, I am still reading blogs.

As the “old” saying goes, “Long live the blog, RIP blogs!” which I suppose is true. It’s been more than a year since I posted anything in the blog that gave me any recognition and far more than a decade since I started blogging in the first place. And I’ve certainly given up on blog conferences – an event space I used to fervently follow.

But as a “regular person,” I still very much enjoy reading blogs kept lovingly by both friends and strangers — I still check my Feedly a few times a week! These blogs provide news, entertainment, recipes, book recommendations… They make me smile a lot. It’s still a great little escape. So if anyone else wants to carve out the time, here are ten blogs I enjoyed in 2019:

Blogs I Enjoyed in 2019

Greeblehaus: I’ve “known” Aimee for many years, though we’ve never met in person. But I can still tell you she is a talented concert photographer and her recent Hanson concert photos are my favorite thing she’s ever posted. (Ever the FANSON am I!) buy dnp

Jessica Gottlieb: No frills, no sponsored posts, no theme. Just her thoughts and feelings. Jessica doesn’t post too often, but when she does, it packs a punch. She is a deeply talented writer and worth following.

A Beautiful Mess: They are mostly focused on interior design and there’s definitely a lot of mom-things, but I still enjoy it! They have such a lovely aesthetic. Great taste. My favorite is their weekly “10 Things I Love on Sunday” series.

Blogs I Enjoyed in 2019

Life as a Rambling Redhead: I found this blog a little backwards. I started following Jennifer on Instagram first (at the urging of a friend), the blog came later. But she’s a rockstar at shopping recommendations and gift ideas. She has a gorgeous home and an adorable family. She is entirely delightful.

More Than Thursdays: Lizz and I have a love of Harry Potter and Star Wars in common and those two things pop up often on her blog, so it’s quite enjoyable for me. She also posts great crafts and recipes. I am also a big fan of her “side hustle,” PewPew Lasercaft!

Not Entirely Perfect: Stephanie has been blogging about her life, her home, finances, goal-setting and more for a long time and she’s consistently good. She’s also got a weekly series I enjoy, “Three on Thursdays.”

Blogs I Enjoyed in 2019

Organized Island: I’ve known Raquel for ages and ages from back when I was more invested, traditional blogger and she’s such a lovely human being. The recipes she posts are often fairly simple and make me believe I could actually try them and succeed.

The Bloggess: If you have never read about Beyonce, the big metal chicken, just do it right now. I’ll wait. Jenny has since published two best-selling books and is currently opening her own bookstore but she still blogs often and is still terrific.

The Sparkly Life: Alyssa also posts a weekly list – hers is called “20 Cool Things You Need to Click” and most of the time, I click on all of them. I met her back at my very first blogging conference and was impressed that she held down a popular blog in tangent with her busy magazine editing career.

We Are Not Martha: I used to work with this blogger years ago, which is how I discovered it, but am still a loyal reader. She posts recipes mostly, which always look incredible despite the claim she is “not Martha”, and once a month, I get a bunch of great book recommendations from here.

And that’s it! In truth, when it comes to the “blogs I enjoyed in 2019” this is an incredibly small sampling of the total amount of blogs I check in on every week. My habit is a little vast. And I suspect I will always uncover more outlets to add to my habit. I love a good niche!

Do you still read blogs? Got one I should check out?

I keep these quotes or odes in my favorite photos folder in my phone and oftentimes, at least one of these little cards brings me a lot of comfort. If any of all of them do that for you, I am happy to share them.

I was talking with some friends today about teache I was talking with some friends today about teachers. And it made me think about my most favorite teachers. At U of A, Professor Bernardi recognized my talent for writing and inspired me to wish for bigger things. He helped me see, at a very tough time, that I could still achieve great things. But I never would have found such a love for writing were it not for Mr. Perry, my English teacher in my senior year of high school, who taught me that every word should have a purpose. And in high school, there was also Mr. Thomas, who instilled in me a deep love of history. I also thought about my beloved elementary school teachers - there were a few at my school I adored. Among them, Mrs. Borin who was just a cool, cool lady. She was a forward-thinker and I was lucky that after my fourth grade year, she moved up to sixth grade so I got to have her again. And pictured with me here is Mrs. Klepetar, who happens to be my friend's Mom (something we did not even put together until we'd been friends for a few years), who recognized a seven year old who flat out resented math but got her to take a little more pride in it with customized extra credit assignments -- she gave me an audience to show my work and that was pretty clever. THANK YOUR TEACHERS, friends. ESPECIALLY NOW. They help shape the adults we become. #teachersrule #Thankyouteachers #TBT

I was catching some good light while I cleaned my apartment today so why not a #cosplay #maskselfie? @myshieldmask is actually a client now but was my favorite mask brand before that happened, I swear. They’re soft and comfortable and come out great when I wash them. Also, loads of colors and patterns to choose from, sizes, etc. Basically I can’t gush enough about them. (10 Points for Gryffindor!!!) AND if you are a RAVENCLAW, I have a mask for you, too. (See: Next slide.) Drop a comment if you want to be in the raffle. #wearamask #quarantinelife #harrypotter #ravenclaw #gryffindor
