I found out today that I have been listed on a list of the top 100 pedi­atric health blogs. Wow! That’s very excit­ing! Thanks, Kelly! I’m #78.

Since I have been hav­ing a harder time think­ing of top­ics related to breast­feed­ing, I was won­der­ing if you have any spe­cific top­ics you want me to write about. My posts tend to be broad and shal­low, so I can go into more depth in an area if there are any requests. Let me know.

The other day I received an e-mail telling me that my blog was listed along with 99 oth­ers as one of the top 100 women’s health blogs. I haven’t had a chance to look through the entire list yet, but I know that I’m always look­ing for new blogs to read. The list is divided into sev­eral sec­tions: Nutri­tion and Spe­cial Diets, Exer­cise, Infer­til­ity, Preg­nancy, Child­birth and Breast­feed­ing, Weight­loss, Health Chal­lenges, Fit and Healthy Over 40, Phys­i­cal Well­be­ing, and Men­tal Well­be­ing. Thanks for choos­ing me to be on this list!

Here is my top ten list of blogs that I feel deserve an Excel­lent Blog Award:

1. Adven­tures in Baby­wear­ing- Thanks for the Baby­wear­ing tips! I’m a wannabe baby­wearer, and read­ing your blog inspires me to get out my mei tai when it’s been on the shelf a lit­tle too long!

2. Breast­feed­ing­Mums Blog- Sinead was the first per­son to com­ment on my blog and encour­age me to keep writ­ing. Her blog has great breast­feed­ing infor­ma­tion, and she recently started a social net­work for women.

3. Breast­feed­ing 1–2-3- I can always find some good infor­ma­tion here. I like her breast­feed­ing quotes and reviews of books that I don’t always know about or have the time to find on my own.

4. The Lac­tivist Breast­feed­ing Blog- This is the first breast­feed­ing blog that I started to read reg­u­larly. It’s also one that I know when I have a new thread in my blog reader there will be some­thing thought pro­vok­ing and well worth reading.

5. Mama Knows Breast- This is one of my newer finds. Right now I am par­tic­u­larly lov­ing her posts of “One Mom’s Story” giv­ing dif­fer­ent breast­feed­ing experiences.

6. Not a DIY Life- I found this blog dur­ing NaBloPoMo and I’m still enjoy­ing it.

7. Nurs­ing Your Kids- This is another blog I found dur­ing NaBloPoMo. Still enjoy­ing this one, too!

8. On Pans and Knea­dles- Since I’m always look­ing for new recipes, I appre­ci­ate this blog for sav­ing me from eat­ing spaghetti with meat sauce 10 times in one month.

9. Mama Speaks- I love this blog! It’s reviews and links to prod­ucts and web­sites that are mom-approved. I just recently started read­ing this one, and I love when I go there and find a new entry.

10. A Blessed Life- This is one of my favorite blogs, but I may be a lit­tle biased since it belongs to my husband’s sis­ter. She is a pho­tog­ra­pher and is con­stantly post­ing pic­tures of the cute kids she pho­tographs and my beau­ti­ful nieces! What more could I want from a blog?
