Blogs:
Metropolitan Mama- Stephanie’s blog mostly centers around parenting and family, but it is very inspiring for anyone, even a newlywed with no children like me. She is a sweet woman with a sincere personality and message, and I would recommend her blog to anyone.
Nason’s Daily Photo- This is my husband’s photography blog, where he has committed to post ‘one unique picture every day.’ He loves photography and takes beautiful pictures. I think it fits well with his mechanical genius and meticulous nature.
Yearbook- Sarah is a friend of mine, and is an awesome teacher and wonderful woman. Her blog mainly focuses on life, goals, teaching and relationships, and I think it is always a joy to read.
The Bloggess- Jenny’s blog rarely fails to make me laugh. Her oddball sense of humor and quirky daily adventures are always entertaining to read about. She is a hilarious, strange woman who I can relate to in many ways.
Enlightened Cooking- I discovered Camille’s blog when I was looking for a recipe for Homemade Lara Bars. What I found (in addition to a great recipe) was a blog that expressed my views on food-it should be fresh and healthy and delicious! I love her recipes and creativity, and her honesty about what goes on in her kitchen. Always a delight!
Websites:
Fertility Friend- I do not use the pill, the patch, or anything hormonal for birth control. Instead, I track my Basal Body Temperature (BBT) and record the changes to know where I am in my cycle. While this may seem silly to some, it has actually proven highly accurate in the past year. I use this site to graphically chart my BBT so I can see any changes more clearly.
Allrecipes- This is the best cooking website I’ve found so far…allrecipes has a huge variety of recipes, as well as an option to search by ingredient (which is nice if you have chicken and cumin and need some inspiration) and a big articles section (I learned how to properly store asparagus here). Overall, a fine website.

I am so honored to be listed here, Rachel! Thank you so much for your kind words.
Also – Allrecipes.com is my go-to site for recipes! I never even use traditional cookbooks anymore.
Last Comment – I look forward to checking out the Fertility Friend website. I think it’s awesome that you don’t use any hormonal form of birth control (and I’d be interested to talk to you about it sometime).

May I sheepishly ask that you consider recommending Kellymom.com and our message boards? (shameless plug from the moderator of the homeschooling and tandem nursing forums)
Steph…Fertility Friend is a great site…great tutorials for NFP. I used them for awhile.
