BList. Best NKOTB Blogs.

by Dumb Mom on March 21, 2011

No. We are not talking about New Kids on the Block this week on pBd.

Although we can if you want to.

I mean, I’m fully equipped to have a very accurate and engaging discussion on the ins and out of Joey, Jordan, Jon, Danny, and Donnie; members of the original make-girls-crazy boy band.

Because I’m a fan.

A FORMER fan.

It’s not like I’m a fan now.

I wasn’t doing the Hangin’ Tough dance just last night in my kitchen.

And, I wasn’t considering buying tickets to see them on tour when they stop by my town (until I found out they were almost $200!) this spring.

Or maybe I was. But, whatever.

This is NOT about them.

I’m talking NKOTB as in New Kids on the BLOG!

Blogging newbies that are making a name for themselves by being awesome.

Ladies who are bloggin’ like the big dawgs despite having only put their name to a .com in recent months (only looking at people less than a year old).

Like every edition of the BList these are blogs I read. Like really if I’m gonna read instead of sleep or tend to my offspring which is not as often as I’d like, but it really does happen read.

Because I like them and I think you will too.

So, without further ado, let me introduce you to the soon-to-be-famous sites who have the not-really-that-big-of-an-honor unique distinction of making it on to the BList!

Six Degrees of Love. Six kids and a boat? Or, maybe they don’t actually have a boat and they are just crazy enough to be considering it. Either way, I like her style. And her bravery. And, her slight insanity that perfectly compliments mine.

(a)Musing Foodie. I love her because I know her. Well, not know her know her. But, we live in the same own so I’ve met her. And, she’s so stinkin’ adorable. Not just because she’s easy on the eyes, but because the first time she met me she did this amazing thing: she told me the correct way to say her name before I even had a chance to slaughter it. I loved that about her because then I didn’t have to feel like an idiot for not knowing it pronouncing it correctly for a week before she finally told me I was saying it wrong at which point I would feel like a complete douche loser.

An Authentic Life. I found this one on Facebook. Okay, she found me, but I’m taking credit for the discovery because that’s just what I do. And, I’m not even 100% sure that she meets the “been blogging awesomely for less than a year” parameters I imposed for this, but I can honestly say I like her enough not to care. Here’s what makes her great: she lives in Montana (which is awesome because no one else does), she has a sexy husband (in my book a reason to give a blogger a chance), and on a slightly more useful note, she writes good intro paragraphs. I knew instantly that she was gonna be good and I didn’t have to waste spend 4 minutes clicking through posts to figure it out.

Accidentally by Design. Because she is a devoted reader who gives good advice and really “listens” when you type. Make friends with her and you will be lucky. Piss her off and you have seriously got to be the most deplorable person on the planet because she really is a sweetie. Unless you mess with her kids. Or her man. Or her friends. Anyway, she’s blog awesome because shares her real self and she blogs from her heart. Which is brave and um, just brave.

And Nobody Told Me. It’s a collabo actually, started fresh just this year. Headed up by two bloggin’ supa-stars and contributed to by a few others. I like the different voices and perspectives they provide. I like that sometimes they are funny and sometimes they are um, less funny, and sometimes they are just keeping it so real I don’t even notice if it’s funny. That doesn’t happen at pBd. I’m too tired to be powerful and moving and inspirational and smart, so funny it is.

A Wide Line. I haven’t figured out what the title means and I don’t have a clue what rule 2 (her url) is, but you know what? Don’t care. This blog is written by one of the most talented and entertaining bloggers I have read from in awhile. And no, it’s not because I stopped reading other people’s blogs pretty much entirely. I read other people’s blogs on Wednesdays. How do you think I do Tweet Faves on Wordful Wednesday?! Huh?! Anyway, question my credibility if you must, but I like this one. I’m not sure what it is exactly, but I like her style. Oh, and she recently welcomed a new human so go visit and say hi!

That’s it!

Just going with six this month because finding new bloggers who rock my socks off is hard work.

Plus, I’m lazy sorta crotchety and stuck-in-my RSS reading ways when it comes to discovering new blogs.

But, I want to.

I really, really want to.

I like meeting new people and recruiting them to the Dumb side who are awesome and fresh.

And, Stumbling.

I’m working on Stumbling better and I went ahead and “discovered” all of these blogs on Stumble this weekend (accept for the one someone beat me to discovering, dangit!).

Discovering awesomeness is sorta my thing you know.

And, I want to do it more.

So, who should I know? Who should I Stumble?

You?

Your friend?

I’m open to suggestions and always on the look out for Stumble-licious, BList worthy blogs!
