So Many Blogs, So Little Time
So here’s my Friday Finds for this week – and I think it should make up for the fact that I found nothing for you during the holidays (the holidays fell right on my Fridays and I loved it)!! These links will keep you busy for a while.
I am addicted to the blogging world. It all began with that gossip fiend Lainey.
Since starting my own blog, and joining the almighty TWITTER, I have found more and more blogs. And ya know what? Blogs totally rock! I could spend an entire weekend on my temper-pedic mattress with my Nespresso machine, a few bottles of vino, some water, and some baked goods, exploring the blogging universe.
One blog always leads me to another. It’s a very dangerous activity for the likes of me (Pete thinks I’m an internet geek). So I’ve decided for my sake, and hopefully yours, to include a page on my blog dedicated to blogs. It will evolve as my addiction grows and grows and grows. The traditional ‘blogroll’ just doesn’t cut it for me anymore.
Do you have some favourite blogs? Besides this one of course

Hi Maggie –
My mom told me that she connected with you over a gluten-free inquiry and I checked out your blog as soon as I got to work. I have a friend who is a celiac. Our social network involves a lot of BBQs, dinners and brunch dates. We are always trying to be conscious of what our friend can and cannot eat. I’m excited to read about your recipes and blog!
Lari! Great to hear from you & thanks for coming to my blog. Small world isn’t it? That’s great that you support your friend like that. I’m sure she really appreciates it. I’ll connect with you on facebook via your Mom. She Let Them Eat Cake has a facebook page too. Hope life is great!
So happy to see another gluten free blog. Keep up the good work. Welcome to the club!

Thanks so much for commenting Colin. I’m glad your Mom passed it on. It’s so cool of you to think of your friend that way. I’m sure they really appreciate your support.
Oooh you can add me
My blog is about trying to live and eat “green” and eating for autoimmune health. My daughter has PANDAS and I have an autoimmune disorder not yet specified, so we cook and bake while eliminating lots of things- gluten, refined sugars, pasteurized dairy, anything artificial, MSG, and try to avoid soy and corn. I’m no expert, so it’s just our family’s journey into what works for us and what doesn’t… and all the funny blunders along the way!
Thanks so much for your list, I started my blog about six months ago because I, too, get so caught up in reading blogs that lead to other blogs, I could do it for hours, actually, like you said, for the weekend! So I decided I needed my own
My blog has allergy-friendly recipes and is about our journey with our older son’s severe eczema, allergies and intolerances, as well as motherhood and life, in general! Check it out if you’d like:

Thanks, Breanna
Have you checked out Offbeat Mama? It’s the sister site of Offbeat Bride (which I was obsessed with prior to the summer for obvious reasons). It’s full of super fabulous photos and even better articles on everything alternative parentings. Check it out!
Funny. I feel the same way about getting lost in the land of Blog. I wish there were more hours in the day. Shirley @http://glutenfreeeasily.com/ pointed me in your direction for the cookie contest today. Great to have found your site.

One more thing to love about you Kristin! And I just added you to my blogroll – glad you commented as it reminded me to update!
So we have a mutual friend, Heather Warren….I sailed with her years ago…anyways she told me to check you out…and well quite frankly, you are the reason I got started blogging and now have my very own website coming out soon!!! Our daughter is sensitive to SOY and GLUTEN…so we have ALL gone gluten free and soy free since January, and well…its been amazing! I love reading everyone’s Blogs and getting recipe ideas…I am working on my cookbook which has been in the process since my sailing days…but now have a great theme to follow…GLUTEN FREE AND SOY FREE of course! So…for now i have a blog, which has not been updated often enough…but like you said…so much to blog, so little time!!!
Thanks so much for all of your great recipes!!! I can’t wait to try the Light & Fluffy Fruit Pancakes!! It’s great the way everyone helps each other!! THat’s the way the world is supposed to work, huh?
Sugar Mags – you have always been so sweet with or without the sugary gluten stuff:-)! I love the blog – you are doing amazing things and all because of your family. Keep up the great work – I am thrilled we have connected and I will be sure to pass this blog on to all my gals on this end! Love you!
I am a blogging addict I swear! I just found this new one. Not a ton on the site so far, but the desserts are excellent! Especially the pumpkin pie! All recipes are gluten and dairy free,which is something I definitely need! Just another blog to look at if you want some quick recipes or ideas.
Thanks Lisa!
Hi: I’m totally with you on spending days looking at new blogs. Yours seems like a good one and you’ve already listed several of my regulars. Can’t wait to start trying your recipes!

PS Good luck with school.
Thanks so much Arlinda! I’m so glad you found my blog. xo
So glad to have found a blog that is gluten, dairy and egg free. It’s so hard to find recipes that incorporate all those! Thanks…
You’re welcome Edwina! Let me know if you’re looking for anything in particular.
Love the rustic salad dressing Maggie…just having it now for lunch. So healthy and delicious. Great recipe!
Thanks Blumer – great to see you here

hey there! I am a vegan mom and post recipes and articles on http://anagoldseker.wordpress.com/2012/09/11/tosoyornottosoy/ this is one on soy. I mostly use raw fruits and veggies, no gluten and low fat.
thanks for this great list!!!
Thanks Ana! Can’t wait to check out your blog. I love reading about soy – you can never have enough info on that topic!
Hi Maggie!
A friend of mine was telling me about your blog! She went to WCI, and mentioned I should check out your site. I have had to go gluten free while nursing my newborn son, as he is intolerant of wheat, dairy and soy. I am very much looking forward to trying out your recipes!
Rachael
Hi Rachael – Who was it? I’d love to know
I had to make a lot of changes when I was nursing Callum. How’s your little guy doing now? Let me know if you have any questions!
Best of luck,
Maggie
Hey Maggie,
Talk about a late reply
Sorry!!
It was Ali Baker. I am friends with her older sister, Adi! Glad to know I’m not the only nursing mom who needed to make diet changes! I was surprised to find out I actually feel better on a gluten free diet too, though! My son is doing much better, and is having less tummy troubles now
We’ll probably follow the same plan for him when solids are introduced!!
Anyways – nice to meet a local blogger – I’ll stay tuned for more recipes!!
Rachael
Thanks Rachael – Better late than not at all
I’m so glad to hear he’s doing better.
Say hi to Ali for me,
Maggie
