The FAB FIFTEEN

The Fab Fifteen will be brought to you weekly by guest writer Victoria. Please visit her site at Life Starring Ellie and Eve.

Today I am giving you some of my favorite blogs for moms (and dads)…I was tempted to list  my site 15 times, but I then decided that since you probably already know how wonderful, trendy, totally great and cool I am, and I should introduce you to some that you might not know, or that you may have lost in the vastdom that is the ‘blogosphere’.  All these sites are on my faves for various reasons, but they are all well written and informative. Most of them specialize in reviews and giveaways! So without further ado let me introduce you to this week’s Fab Fifteen:

Meet Cool Baby Kid if you already haven’t.  Cecelia has some great gear reviews and she is currently having a  giveaway for a Buzz diaper bag backpack. Cool Baby Kid also has 2 counterparts in the form of Ask Baby Kid and Smart Baby Kid.

I love stuff, pretty much any kind of stuff…and I love that fact that Goodies For Mom is a one stop shop for reviews, articles and giveaways for all sorts of great stuff.  A one stop shop?  That puts it at the top of my list of sites that people should visit.

With two cute kids, some great looking reviews, and some fun giveaways why wouldn’t Keeper of the Cherrios be on my list of favorites?  Miranda keeps it fun and informative with her reviews and provides some good commentary of life in general.

Bridgette’s blog was a fave of mine even before I was tapped to write these articles, so I am putting it out there.  If you haven’t been to The Not So Blog Blog you really should check it out!  Why?   Well the design for one, but if that doesn’t do it for you, how about real mom reviews and free stuff to win, that should get you going!

Yes, as a mom of two girls I tend to look towards the pink in life, and as such I happened across Mommy in Pink.  While I love the fact that there of are great giveaways and fun reviews, it is the writing style that cracks me up…for an example check out The Barista Wants My Husband!

I am a relative newbie and I am sure that everyone else out there knows about Sarah’s site…but too bad, this is a list of some of MY favorite sites and Ohana Mama is one of my faves.  She offers a little bit of everything and her graphics and photo collections are great.  I’m only just a bit jealous that she gets to live someplace awesome.

Do I understand the title?  Well…no.  But that doesn’t stop me from liking Christy’s collection of a little bit of everything. Shake the Salt offers reviews, giveaways,  general commentary, and she hosts A Moment For Me (with giveaways!)…and we all know how much busy moms need a minute to relax!

It’s the short and sweet that gets me…maybe because I can’t write short and sweet to save my life, but I love the fact that I can just read for a minute or two, know what Allison thinks, and be done. If you are a fan of short and sweet, Petite Elephant is right for you.

Hello competition, I still love you. (if you have no idea what I am talking about check out the Dottie Awards here on Momdot).  Erin at the Mom Buzz offers great reviews along side her commentary.  And if you haven’t checked out the smiling frog -you need to. I think it might be one of the funniest graphics I have ever seen.

So……..if it has the word “goody” in the title it must be good, right?  With a little bit of everything and some great information all over, the Goody Blog is a must have on your blog roll.

Need A Little Bliss in your life?  With a laid back and relaxed attitude towards review writing, Heather provides reviews on everything from popcorn to all natural childrens’ heating pads.

Confessions of a Pioneer Woman
Have you ever met someone who lives in the country…no I don’t mean the sub-burbs I mean the real honest to goodness country?  Well Ree does and this is the story of her life, complete with pics, reviews and giveaways!

BabyLuxe {daily}
Providing reviews and giveaways on some pretty awesome baby gear, Dana and Erin are my heros.  I love the products they review and it helps a lot that Dana is wonderful and ever so helpful to the newbie that is me. Check them out to find new friends!

Dear Dr. Moz
Meet the Moose if you haven’t already.  Offering reviews, contests and  posts about some of the more weird interesting baby products out there, Dear Dr. Moz is a good place to get a masculine feel.

Mamanista
With the words “chic” and “practical” in the subtitle how can you resist?  Well, I couldn’t. Especially since I am not known for being the most practical person alive…and yes I found some great gear that could help me.  This site offers a lot of information for just about everyone out there.
