Everyone knows that Dear Daisy Cottage is mine....
Oh sure I have a multitude of favorites, but Kim stole my heart with her letter to Daisy Cottage that you can read *here*. She has made an artform out of blogging and has the ability to make all your problems dissapear for as long as your visit lasts. I dare you to not smile while you're there ;)
So tell me..... I know you love a lot of different blogs, but which one is your favorite and why? Maybe it'll give others a chance to move outside their circle of blogging friends and discover someone new :)
hugs and love,
rue

She does have a wonderful blog and I can see why you fell in love with her and it.
My absolute favorite is Snowbrush at http://snowbrush.blogspot.com
This man writes to perfection and he bears his heart, soul and life on every post. He engages you and his is one of the few blogs that I've gone back and read every single thing he's written!
Jane
P.S. This is a great idea Rue, to give us a glimpse into other blogs that we may not have found yet!
This cottage is beautiful.
Here is my selction of the blog
that really shows it all; from deorating to dish spotting to desserts. Check out this blog; she is well know!http://designsbygollum.blogspot.com

Kim is sure a favorite in the blog world - her blog is so wonderful and full of cheer and serenity.
I don't know that I could pick an absolute favorite, because everyone is so unique and I love them in different ways.
I have different favorite ones for different reasons. Since I started my public sewing blog I have even more favorite ones! I'll have to think about this one and get back to you! Cindy
I agree with Emily. I read different blogs for different reasons. Some I've connected with for decorating, some for food and fun, some just because the blogger is doggone sweet!
Well, Daisy Cottage is definitely right up there - after all, I found you through Kim's posts! But another favorite is Tara, who is here >>> http://blondiensc.typepad.com/blondie_n_san_clemente/
Also, I can't keep away from Ree's Pioneer Woman blog - I love her great sense of humor and incredibl recipes!
Thanks for asking! Becky
(((((Rue))))))))
T H A N K Y O U.
You know how much I love you.

I've never seen the daisy cottage blog so ya know where i'm going next!
I always like to visit a blog called whatever by meg duerksen...her photography and honesty sucks me in ever day!
There is also this one called rue's pb and j life that is awfully engaging. ;)
have a wonderful day.

Daisy Cottage, Sugar Pie Famhouse...used to be Warm Pie Happy Home...and yours of course!
Barbara
I'll give my favorite non-decorating blog since I have WAY too many favorite decorating ones. http://byebyepie.typepad.com/
June Gardens, she's a crack up and a half. I found her through Nester.
I would never reveal my favorite and take the chance of hurting my other readers feelings... I love many and each for a different reason.. Some are funny, some artful and photographic, some feel like a good friend, others because they vary their entries and are always a surprise each and every day... SO, if anyone fits any of these reasons, please know that I love your blog... *smiles*

The Blue Ridge Gal
I love Springtree Road. She is so reflective and draws you in with her writing about her (current) life and her childhood, growing up on Springtree Road.
http://www.springtreeroad.com/springtreeroad/
I love the Daisy Cottage, too. When I retire, I want to live there, can you arrange that for me please, Rue? ;)
Rue, Your is one of my favorites. I have way too many to have to chose. But, if I had to I'd chose:
http://nadafarmlife.blogspot.com/
It's all about life on the farm. AnnMarie is a wonderful mother, af fabulous cook and has a real flair for creating a wonderful home.
Hugs, Terrie
I just noticed that Emily from Remodeling This Life posted here, she is the #3 poster in this thread. She has a wonderful, down to earth, family blog that I think many of your readers would enjoy :)
Rue I could never pick a definite favorite because all kinds of blogs are unique and interesting.
Your blog is truly wonderful, honest and full of heart.
I admire that and I keep reading like you are telling us a story.
Love that quality about yours.
Thank you for sharing your PB&J life with us. :)
I have recently found a blogger that has me laughing out loud at her stories of her dog Max.
That blogger is "Chris" at
"Just a Girl".
Check her out! :)
Have a wonderful day.
~Melissa :)
Another favorite: Maggie (Dammit) from okay.fine.dammit She is one talented writer:

Hi Rue, I couldnt just pick one either, but I like personal blogs, the ones where people share their homes and I like taking a peek in their everyday lives. Its abit like having a virtual cup of tea and a chat with a friend. I like to find new blogs so this is a great post and your commenters have given me a few to go and have a look at, but Im sure there will be plenty more so I will pop by again later X
This is a great way to find interesting blogs.. I'll be looking at all the suggestions! Thanks, Rue!
Okay.. okay.... you don't have to pick just one. Go ahead and name a few and why, if you can't choose ;)
xo,
rue
Here's mine in no particular order
Rue's Peanut Butter and Jelly Life
Between Naps on the Porch
Designs by Gollum
Warm Pie Happy Home
Carolina Panache
Monograms and Manicures
A Little Lovliness
Hooked On Houses
Because I like blogs with lots of pictures of homes these are a few of my favorites. I'm sure there are many more but these are the ones off the top of my old forgetfull head.
Oh, I love Kim's Daisy Cottage too.
Great post Rue.
Hugs,
Sue
I too have different favs for the different moods I'm in when I'm surfing blogs. Of course, we all love your blog, that's why we're here now. I love watching the changes you make in your home, and also love when you take us on your "out and about" trips. you have a wonderful family and it's cool the way you make all us feel like a part of it.
_Ashley*
The Lettered Cottage, Bienvenue, The Thrifty Decor Chic, Coastline,they are so creative.
abeachcottage, This Young House
But I can't pick a favorite blog! I find so many amazing ones that I just couldn't pick only one! lol. I so love Daisy Cottage though and sweet little Maggie!
All the best,
Allison
oh my goodness this is fun! I love Kim's blog she is one of the first blog I started reading and then a whole new world opened up for me. I have so many favorites, and honestly they change depending on what kind of mood I am in. However, I have to say that I love coming here, I love how the content changes. Plus you make me laugh and I think you would sit and drink wine with me, so I kinda like that too! Happy Thursday!
I have a few blogs that I just love! One of my personal favorites is my friend's blog The Stampin' Soldier http://lauraevangeline.blogspot.com/
Yours is another that I just recently fell in love with. So honest and interesting!
I don't even think I'd be able to choose a few! :-) I can't wait to see what everyone else picks, though...I'm sure I'll be able to find some new obsessions...
Um...I also love Daisy Cottage, and yours Rue.
I Always check out Pioneer Woman, My Sisters Farmhouse, Coal Creek Farm, and Chickens In the Road. Good Stuff!!!
Daisy Cottage was one of the first blogs I read. That is how I found you.....your blog is my favorite. It is even better now that you are in MY town!
Carolyn
I am a huge fan of Kim's. She was a big part of my blogging inspiration. My new must-read is Bella Della. I like her simplicity and her clothesline and her little store in the country.
Brenda
I really like all the blogs I visit for different reasons. Everyone seems to have something unique to offer!:-)
Hi, My name is Patti and I am a blog addict. My counselor told me that I cannot list my favorites because it might interfere with my treatment..and I am not even suppose to be on here.... :)
Seriously, I have SO MANY that are my favorites...TOO many blogs to read and NOT enough time! Reading all these replies I am adding more to my list of favorites..thanks for adding to my addiction!!! LOL
~~Patti~~
hey Rue. I am sorry...I can't even think that one is better than any other My blog list is there with all those blogs I love...and they are all so different from each other. I can't choose...so my favorites are 168 of the ones I read! You are among them too!
One of my favorites to visit daily is "A Bloomsbury Life", by LISA BORGNES GIRAMONTI.
I love her site, it's written well and she loves to talk about her family and her trips aboard.
She's on the top with a few others.
Ciao
The Pioneer Woman is one of my favorites.She is witty,a great cook and her life on a working cattle ranch is interesting.I love reading all the blogs of the original RMS gang,because they are like family.
Hugs,Linda
Hi Rue
I love your blog but I have to say that Kim's is my favorite. If I only have time for one blog I will always go there first and on days when she doesn't post I am disappointed! I like it because it is always so cheerful and pretty she has similar tastes in decorating as I do and she makes you feel like she is your friend.
Hugs, Rhondi
I just started reading your blog. But my all time favorite is:
http://acottageindustry.typepad.com/a_cottage_industry/
I just love her decorating ideas, her fresh positive attitude. She writes like you are actually there talking with her.
I don't like to leave an anonymous comment, but haven't figured out how to use the tags. My email address is Cobs@aol.com, and I don't have a blog. Not much of a writer, but love to get inspiration from others.
Hi Rue
I've found so many wonderful blogs that I can't pick just a few out, as it would be like choosing one child favorite over another! I skip around these days as I have so many favorites now that I can't possibly visit them all in one day, or even one week! I learn something from each and every one and it's been so enriching to have made friends with wonderful women, and a few men, from all over the US and the world! Blogging has truly been a happy adventure for me.
You were among the first blogs I read, back when my list was about 8 blogs long, so you'll always hold a special place in my heart, and I always try to visit you as often as I can!
Hugs, Pat
Hi Rue,
I have so many favorites. It also depends on the current post. I like Rue's PB&J life, Mabel's House, Whatever, Pioneer Woman, A View in the Pines, and Fraker Farm just to name a few that I follow! I'm sooooo addicted!
Blessings,
Lorilee
Oh I love so many..THIS one included!! I really like to read about and see how people have decorated. My all time favorites though are the ones where people are able to express their feelings about life. I am SO terrible at expressing myself and I am horrible writer. I love to be able to connect with others if only through their writings..it just helps somedays to know I'm not alone!
{{Big Hugs}}
Cathy
Aside from your blog, I always look forward to reading "Fete et Fleur" and her husbands blog "Beautiful Her" is just as beautiful and full of romance.
Oh Rue, I couldn't chose a favorite, that would be like chosing which child is your favorite. ~ Robyn
I love Romantichome.blogspot.com I love her decorating:) I also love Earthangles,oh happyday, kitschenpink yes that is how it is spelled. There are just soooo many. I love daisy cottage beacause of the color in her decorating and your for your home I just love them all.
Hi Rue,
I visited the Daisy Cottage and what a treat, everything is so lovely.
There are so many blogs that I get excited when I go and see what they have to share and your's is one of them!
I love so many but some of my favs are My Petite Maison (Tracie) and The Laurel Hedge ~ Millie.
Have a wonderful weekend
Hugs
Carolyn
I never get to Kim's blog enough! I am so busy, but her blog is a charm!
Hi Rue! You and Gollum were my first blog experiences ... from there I have enjoyed so many other blogs and for so many many reasons. I get something from everyone I read ... and when I see an intriguing comment in one of those blogs, I go there ~ and another blog friendship has been born.
I have had a horrific computer virus for the past several days, maybe even weeks. I think we have gotten rid of it ~ but brilliant techies think I may have picked it up on someone's blog .... be careful.
It seems like there is a blog for every mood I'm in...and so many wonderful one's it would be hard to choose. I love the decorating blogs, and the ones that tell stories about their lives and families...but when I'm in the mood for a good laugh I love visiting Pulsipher predilections she makes me laugh out loud...and it seems I'm not the only one by the amount of traffic she gets! adamandkristinapulsipher.blogspot.com
I've never been there, off to check it out now!
I loved your "love note" post. What a great example for your kids. :) If I were one of the people who saw you out in public, I'd be thinking, look at that sweet couple...aren't they cute?!
~Michelle
Your's is one of my very favorite blogs and usually the first one I go to every day! I have a lot of blogs that I visit as often as possible, but two of them really stand out as blogs that took my breath away the first time I saw them: Cindy at Romantic Home and Cielo at The House in the Roses. I love the Romantic Home because of her shabby chic and cottage style. She is so well loved that she has been featured in her local newspaper and has had over a million visitor in the 4 years she has been blogging. The House in the Roses is just very simply beautiful, full of roses and gardens and all kinds of beauty, and Cielo has a way to describe it all that is utterly poetic. She also has very soothing music playing on her blog.
There are so many more, but these two really stand out!
Kady
Hi, Rue,
Between Naps on the Porch is one of my all time favs. I also love House in the Roses. Blah Blah Blah Blog is hilarious. Just a few of my favs.
Donna
Morning Rue~
First I must say the love notes post is wonderful. My Mister & I still write eachother little notes and write I love you's on the calendar. We don't get off the phone without saying it either. After almost 10 years of marriage some people call us " the honeymooners "....lol.
I have a relatively small blog roll but your blog inspired me to get to started. :) You were always so nice to me on RMS and for that I will always be thanful. I also love Nancy's blog ( I call her Fancy ) Southern Lady and Rhoda @ Southern Hospitality. I always find great ideas there. But I love sooo many!!
Have a great weekend!
Hugs~ J
I agree with the others - there are so many wonderful blogs, it's impossible to choose a favorite. But, I will say that one at the top of my list is the photography blog "Just Be Blogged by Tara Whitney". She is a mom-wife-photographer in California and her photos are simply stunning. Looking at her work always puts a smile on my face.
http://tarawhitney.com/justbeblogged/
Hi Rue,
You know you are a fav of mine!!
I like different blogs for different reasons, but Between Naps on the Porch, Behind My Red Door, and Southern Hospitality are in my top group!
This is a great idea, now I want to go back and see some new blogs.
Hugs,
Donna
Hey Rue, Congratulations on potentially selling your home and for the buyers accepting your counteroffer! Woo Hoo!
I had to think about (my favorite person in blog land) for a while and I came up with the one person that inspires me physically and that's http://www.katheats.com/
I've recently lost 40 pounds and constantly working on my health. Kath is not only someone that inspires me but keeps a food journal (her blog) of everything she eats every single day since 2007. She is taking her first blog break (so to speak) and allowing herself a break this week while she and her hubby are in New Orleans. She's still posting but not going nuts with it while she's out of town. I would miss her something terrible if she ended her blog. And that's why I pick her!
I really like your idea of sharing our favorites, this is fun!
Blessings - Debbie
My first ever blog that I read, before I even knew what a blog was, is/was The Homespun Heart. She has a blogspot address. Love, love, love her!!
Elise
Rue, there is no way on earth I could pick a favorite. I have a list as long as your arm and mine combined! LOL! I love yours, Kim's, and some of the others that other people have listed!
I do several blogging events, and I get to know new bloggers through those. And I have made some wonderful, wonderful friends!
Love you,
Sheila :-)
I love Tuesdays with Molly! Two sisters who enjoy crafting and sharing together. Visit them here:
http://tuesdayswithmolly.blogspot.com/
I am always blown away with their incredible projects. Well worth checking out!
Have a great weekend Rue girl!
~Misti
I love your blog! A few other favorites are Southern Hospitality, Sweet Nothings, Simply Natural, White Hot Truth, and French Essence.
Your story is touching and your blog is a delight.
Have a happy weekend!
ooooo!
Love this post, have bookmarked it, so I can go back and look at all these!
I love to get recomendations.
My favorite is Dear Daisy Cottage.
I like the bright colors, make me happy. Just my personal preference.
