There are bloggers & I like, & then there are bloggers I love. While I read lots more than this, I've highlighted here the ones that are, in my humble opinion, the cream of the blogosphere's crop. One marked with hearts are those folks I've had the pleasure of meeting in person.
Berto doesn’t blog enough, perhaps because he’s busy being in an Ivy League law school. When he does, he is the male version of me.A Jersey Kid
If I could write like anyone, it’d be Brad. My comments never do his writing justice. Seriously, I might want to be him. Just go read him already!Alice's Wonderland

Amy is real, funny, emotional & everything a good blogger should be, including winner of the 2010 Bootlegger Best New Blogger Award. Also, she’s just the cutest.

Owner of the cutest blog on the block, Kyla describes herself as a “Canadian prairie newlywed lady.” She rocks an adorable pixie cut & her life is entirely enviable.
LA Midge
Britt is small & spunky, a lover of animals & bright colors who met her husband on the Internet - a non-creepy success story! She just seems fun. And kind. And I like that in a gal.
