My Choices for Top Ten Emerging Influential Blogs

I have visited hundreds of blogs, local to international. Most of the blogs talk about the authors' lives and their families. Below are my choices, in no particular order, for Top Ten Emerging Influential Blogs for 2011 . The knowledge, encouragement and learning that I get from these blogs is what set them apart from other blogs.

1. Mom Writes– The author, Ruby, is a mom from Cagayan de Oro. Her writings is both biblical and practical. She writes about her family's adventures and shares biblical passages that helps enrich my spiritual life. Living in a past paced life is one chaotic life if one forget to nourish the spirit, so dropping by at Ruby's site is always a comfort.

2. The Pepperrific Life – The auhor, Pepper, is a single parent who manages to bring her child the best way she can. I have friends who are single parents, too. I see how they work double/triple time to be the best for their children. I have high regard for single parents, who even if they have to play both mom and dad to their kids, still manages to be kind to other people. That is how Pepperific Life is, her words inspired and continue to inspire many single moms/dads.

3. My Green Living Ideas – The author, Ria, is a fulfilled person. She writes about how people can help save Mother Earth. . She does not only write about helping the environment, she actually does her share.

4. LEVYousa – The author, Levy, is a down-to-earth person. She lives a simple life, but certainly appreciates every moment of it. Her writing is easy, and you feel the sincerity in every word she writes.

5. The Tottering Mama – The author, Olga, is a young, petite, shy, quiet and pretty mom of two. Her blog is a collection of anything and everything under the sun. I particularly like the many advocacy she helps, particularly breastfeeding and house bill for Filipino deaf.

6. The Blogger’s Journal – The author, Willa, shares her experiences as a Blogger. A newbie Blogger will surely learn a lot from from visiting this site. Even if you're a seasoned Blogger, Willa's site will help you in more ways.

7. Mommy Survival Guide – The author, Ellen Joy, is a mom of 3 very young girls. This site helps a mom survive the many challenging and tough situations at home, and life as well.

8. Certified Foodies - The authors, siblings Mhel and Kenneth. This is a joyful blog for me, seeing a brother and a sister sharing a site. Makes me miss my siblings. Their blog inspires me to eat, eat, eat.....

9. Notepad Corner – The author, Joy, is a cheerful wife and mom. She happily shares practical tips on many issues such as parenting, travel, health and others. I have yet to meet her in person.

10. My Painted Lips – Last but certainly not the least. The author, Pehpot, is a person whom I'd be thankful for for the rest of my blogging career. She helped me open my paypal account and set a domain. She, basically, is my mentor. I was totally impressed when she offered to help me during our first meet. Her blog, Painted Lips, encourages women to bravely express themselves through different techniques. This blog also features cosmetics and other stuff that is essential to every woman's need.
