Challenges of Life is a blog that has a little bit of everything. I read posts about how to get your kids to eat vegetables and tips to applying makeup. As you can tell, she covers all aross the board. Normally, orange is not a color I like especially on a theme. However, Challenges of Life pulls it off with style. This blog has an awesome design. You don’t have 40 million widgets blinking at you. Everything just compliments each other. Her blog theme is very pleasing to the eye, and her sidebars definitely do not take away from the post content. Like I stated in my last review, the only thing I would change is that she needs an about page. I like to read about the author of the blog. It gives one a better understanding of why they write about what they do and gives another glimpse into their life.

I love when I come across a blog that I wish I would have thought of that title. New Memories is one of those blogs. Each post gives a glimpse into Anna Glendenning’s life — you know, a new memory. I love how she is gut wrenching honest. To be honest, that is the first thing I noticed when I first saw her blog. Every post she does has a bit of her heart and soul written into each one. This is also the first dark theme that I have seen that is easy on the eyes to read too. The grey background with the cream lettering actually compliments each other quite well. She has made it pretty easy to navigate her blog and be able to read her newer posts as well as some of the older ones. My only complaint is that she needs an about page. I want to read more about you! From her header, I have figured out that she has adopted special needs siblings. However, I want to know more!
New Memories is a blog that I would highly recommend reading. Though the posts may be a long, they are truly informative and grab your attention to the point you can’t stop reading.

I love bloggers who aren’t part of a niche (I have one of those blogs myself). You really get a good glimpse into their lives and who they really are. Ruminations of a Small Town Mountain Boy is one of those general blogs that once you read one post you are hooked. You’re not going to read about acne treatments or anything like that here. Instead, you find a greathodge podge of information regarding blogs the author likes to why he misses the mountains. I love that his sister even pokes fun at him in some of the comments. I absolutely love this them. It looks like a blue jean pocket and leg. It is the most unique thing I think I have ever seen on a blog. Definitely check this out if you are looking for a great read!

Journal of A Rock Angel is a personal blog that should be checked out. She has an awesome layout that includes intense colors, but it is enjoyable to look at. I personally love the three flowers in her header. They are really pretty, and I think they actually set the tone for the blog. Sometimes when you read another person’s blog, there is no emotion there. However, with hers, I can definitely “hear” her voice. You can easily laugh with her, cry with her, be angry with her, and smile with her. That is talent you don’t see all the time. I think she gives us an awesome glimpse into her life. I almost feel like I am there. This is blog that is never boring and always interesting to read. Go check it out!

Hotels by City has a great list of city guides if you are trying to figure out where to go on vacation. They have everything from an Australia Hotel Guide to the United States to Europe. They not only tell you which hotels are in the area to stay, but they give you a guide to the city. I checked out two different cities. The first one was Arizona, since we are going there in February. Since we have not decided what we are going to do once we get there, I thought it would be great to start checking that out. To see how good the guide really was, I checked out the guide for Green Bay, Wisconsin. That is where I grew up and know the best. I was impressed with the guide since they mentioned stopping at Heritage Hill. That is not a place that makes a lot of tourist guides. However, it is an awesome place. They give you a glimpse into life into the 18th century. Hotels by City also gives you links to Chamber of Commerce and the Visitors Bureau too. This is a one stop shop to help you plan your vacation. I know when it gets closer to our trip to Arizona, we will be stopping here.

Now it’s not a dream to find cheap cruise vacations or the cheap airline tickets. On Internet you can easily search for different flights with cheapest airline tickets. The travel distances which were very large in the past are now very less due facilities like airline companies and hotels. Now you can find hundreds of flights to each and every destination. Several flight discounts are also offered by many airlines.
