Third birthday. Or anniversary?

Three years ago, I started this blog. So, today is either my blog’s birthday or anniversary. I use those words interchangeably in regards to my blog, because I’m not sure which is correct. Anyway…

I’d like to say that in honor of Seriously Because’s third birthday/anniversary, I’m offering a 5-day, all expense paid vacation to Destin. But if I said that, I’d be lying. Maybe one day I’ll sell ad space and make money off this little hobby, and then I can actually have cool contests with fabulous prizes.

Speaking of blogs, I currently subscribe to 109. I’m so thankful that most people don’t post every day! If they did, I could never keep up.

How many blogs do you subscribe to? Which are your five favorites?

It’s a bit difficult to narrow it down to my five favorites. For my list, I’m going to use the criteria of when this person posts, I get the most excited. Based 100% off that criteria and not based at all on friendships, my Top 5 Most Favorite Blogs as of this very second (and in no particular order) are:

The Pioneer Woman Cooks – Ree Drummond’s blog has multiple divisions, but I like her recipes most of all. Every recipe she’s ever posted that I’ve cooked has instantly become a family hit. That’s impressive, no?

Stuff Christians Like – This didn’t make the list because I’m a Bible thumping holy roller. Actually, if you read a few of his posts, you’ll probably realize that Jon Acuff is hilarious and actually makes fun of a lot of Christian stuff [that I also make fun of].

All & Sundry – I love her subject matter, I love her way with words, and I love that she doesn’t hold back. Almost every post makes me laugh out loud, which proves her talent. I’m pretty sure Linda and I could be friends if she didn’t live on the other side of the country.

A Whole Lot of Nothing – Angie is also very funny. And because I subscribe to so many blogs, I like that she writes often, but her posts are never “too long”. Generally speaking, long posts (regardless of author) usually get pushed aside, sometimes indefinitely, until I have more time to commit to reading them.

Hurricane Tankersley – When I say her posts are few and far between, I mean that you’re lucky to get a handful each year. But when Jessica writes, she wins my heart. I’m telling you, she could write a book one day. And I’m thinking that book will be a David Sedaris-style collection of short stories.

WHICH 5 BLOGS ARE YOUR FAVORITES? WHY? (Actually, the “why” is optional. You can just give me a list without explaining yourself.)
