I read a lot of soapmaker’s blogs as you might expect. But I also venture out into some other topics as well. Here’s just a taste of what I have in my Google Reader:<\/p>\n

#5 – Muthering Heights – Jessie has a beautiful way of sharing her adventures as a full-time mother of four children – ages four and under. Their most recent adventure: moving from West Virginia to Texas!<\/p>\n

#4 – Problogger<\/a> – Darrell is one of the leading resources for those who are looking to make a living from their blogs. There is a wealth of information to pick through, and I find all sorts of nuggets that I can apply to my blog.<\/p>\n

#3 – Bake at 350<\/a> – Bridget is a cookie decorating GENIUS. She makes all sorts of confections, and some of her icing techniques would probably translate well into soap. <\/p>\n

#2 – Tatertots & Jello<\/a> – Jen has some really fun projects that she makes, and also features other crafty people’s creations. Lots of giveaways too!<\/p>\n

#1 – The Krazy Coupon Lady<\/a> – Heather and Joanie founded this blog where savvy women (& secure men) come to find ways to save huge sums of cash! I’ve been “couponing” for nearly six months now, and this blog is a great place to get started. (Update: There’s something strange going on with this link. I’ll keep checking on it!)<\/p>\n

If you haven’t figured out how to set up Google Reader for yourself, I’ll be explaining the basics tomorrow! It’s just an easy way to keep up with your favorite blogs.<\/p>\n
