Acting Balanced: Friday...

Well since my rant yesterday, you know that this won't be a Friday Follow post... I think I'm going to do a shout out to blogs I follow instead... I'm going to pick five blogs I read regularly and suggest you check them out ... no mclinky, no pressure, and hopefully no inane comments just because someone stopped by to read the list :) but I can't promise that...

So without further ado, ~~five~~ six of the blogs I follow are:

I'm Just That Way - Dani is also a mom of a sweet Little Bird with autism and her blog is great because she writes about her life and what's going on... it's real and sweet!

Outnumbered Mama - The Busy Woman's Guide to Surviving Motherhood.. Outnumbered Mama always has something interesting up on her blog - today it's her 28 item bucket list! :)

The Snyder 5 - if you want a smile you need to read today's Dirty Laundry post... another mom who keeps it real :)

More than A Mom - Another great blog about life...

Out of the Box and Into The Kitchen - yummy scrummy recipes with great pics and instructions :)

The Improbable Housewife - Today's post is about de-stressing... something I think we all need to do

Heather you are a rockstar! Thanks so much for including me on your list. I, too, have been wondering about this sort of double-edged sword with regard to all the follower memes. I get frustrated when I feel like people aren't actually reading my posts but just following for the sake of getting my follow. Although I do always follow those that take the minute to follow me. I only "initiate" a follow on blogs that I really like. I think it really is about being true to your own blog and trying to be selective without being snobby. I am totally guilty of doing the fly by comment on Fridays as part of the meme but I do honestly try to return a few times and look things over and the more I like the more I show up. Again, Heather, thanks for including me and another thank you for being brave and broaching this subject. It is important to consider!

I'm certainly not saying that MeMe's don't have their place... I'm just not sure my place is in them... I really had to examine my goals ... was it to have lots of followers or to have good posts, good debates and something people wanted to return to... and please let me know if I get off track ... but I think I like this format better :)
