Blog Day

This is the Third Annual Blog Day where bloggers introduce other bloggers from different countries or areas of interest.  Find out more at www.blogday.org

My five blog picks are:

1.  Have you checked out the DC Metro Mom's Blog.  It is a sister site of the Silicon Valley Mom's Blog where I am a contributing writer.  The blog is brand spanking new and is all about living in the DC area with kids.  Check it out.

2. Go read Kimchi Mamas for a dose of living in the US as a Korean Mama.   Having a mixed race child, I frequently read this collaborative blog for views on racism, diversity, kindness, and difference.  It is a fabulous blog where my fabulous bloggy friends CityMama, and The Silent I  (and many other fabulous women) write fabulous posts.

3.  I just stumbled upon this mommy-blogger, A Mother in Israel.  I am taking a trip to Tel Aviv in September and I already feel like I know Israel from reading her posts.   What I love the most is that even though we live half the world apart, we've got a lot in common.  Teaching tradition and customs, intense love for our children, and the ability to constantly make fun of ourselves (and others around us). 

4. This woman's journey to financial freedom reminds me so much of my own.  Financial Confessions of a College Graduate is a liberating blog about a woman living in Japan and trying to break the cycle of over-spending.  I've been there, done that.  I won't say how much debt I was in after graduating college and landing my first real job - but it took yearS to become debt free and learn from some pretty big mistakes.   I'm still working on the bringing my lunch to work instead of paying $15 a day to eat out.  But hey, at least I budget for it, right?

5. Anyone who knows me knows that I have a serious coffee habit.  I don't need the fancy stuff - I'll take the motor-oil like coffee that gets served in Denny's across America.  Starbucks isn't for me.  Just give me coffee with a little creamer and I'm a happy girl.  So to read from Jurgen Nation, a self proclaimed a non-coffee drinker get turned into a coffee junkie (or at least tolerator), I have to say "Welcome to the Club!"
