Blogs I Regularly Stalk...err I Mean Visit
Working for a web company, I've come across so many awesome blogs. I've also met some really cool bloggers. I probably regularly read over 400 or so blogs but I wanted to share the ones I'm currently really into.
In no particular order:
-Shim and Sons: Sally is a super talented designer of handmade goods/stationery and mom of two adorable boys from Portland, OR. I've been reading her blog for about 3 years now and love her posts on wonderful things she makes for her boys and for her online shoppe.
-Ask a Korean!: I'm not sure how I found this blog, but about six months ago I stumbled upon it have been hooked ever since. Just like the name of the blog implies, folks email the blogger (a 1.5 generation Korean-American, he came to the states when he was 16 and speaks Korean and English fluently) all sorts of questions related to Korea -language, politics, culture, economics, etc. The Korean (as he refers to himself) answers them in his delightfully smirky and knowledgeable way (often times in 3rd person).
-The Shooting Allens: I used to follow Holly's home design blog but when she and her hubby Tripper successfully got pregnant with twins via IVF she switched to blogging about her journey with her beautiful baby boys. I love reading her daily updates on her boys and the crazy tales of how she tries to balance being a wife, mom, designer and full time employee. She's also a Southern gal and has wonderful taste in design.
-Heart Charlie: This fashion blog is fairly new but I adore the blogger's style and creativity. Her outfits encourage me to think outside the box with my style (or lack thereof). I also love that she's budget conscious and throws in DIY projects from time to time.
-JustBee: I've been following Bee for over 5 years now. She's the creator of the totally addictive and resourceful WeddingBee blog. She recently became mom to a handsome baby boy and blogs about her adventures in motherhood. I've had the pleasure to become friends with Bee and she's like the sweet, generous, super cool unni that every girl needs in their life.
-Young House Love: Sherry and Peter are a young married couple that blog about their first home. They bought a fixer upper and have totally transformed it into an awesome, well-designed space perfect for their young family. They post awesome DIY tutorials and provide great inspiration for low cost projects.
-Drama Beans- I've been following this blog for about two years now. Javabeans (the main writer) loves Korean dramas and does an awesome job writing about them. I only started watching Korean dramas about 2 years ago, and this is my favorite source for up-to-date info on the Kdrama world. Javabeans gives her reviews on a drama and I usually end up following the one she highly recommends. There are so many dramas out there so this is a great way to figure out what's worth my time.
Ok, so this is all for now. I have a ton more I can recommend if you're into a particular genre but these are my latest faves.
What blogs do you regularly read? I'd love to check out your recommendations!
PS- Awww shucks! I missed my 11:59p.m. deadline! Oh wells...this is still an update.

@justbee - Thanks for stopping by Bee! I seriously love all your blogs. I just wrote about koreancooking.
Oooh thanks for listing those blogs! I've never heard of bargainist or elements of style!
I think I started reading Dramabeans because of you a long time ago.^^ I still read her blog all the time! I usually end up going back and watching dramas she compares new ones to, and they end up being great. Like recently, she featured the Hong sisters who recently scripted "You're Beautiful." I read that they wrote Hong Gil Dong too, and ended up watching and enjoying that one too. ^^
