For the past two years, I’ve compiled a list of what I think are the 50 Best Blogs by Women. If you can believe it, it actually takes me a full year to put these lists together.
Each day, I’m on the lookout for great new resources and fresh new voices. Some of these women I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in person at the Blissdom Conference; others are part of the Austin Bloggers Social that I belong to and yet others I’ve found on Twitter or Facebook.
The point is, there are so many fabulous women out there creating their own businesses for themselves either by blogging or through blogging – and that is very powerful.
To show my support and recognition for all of these amazing women who are creating their own destiny in the world, I present to you, The Third Annual 50 Best Blogs by Women.

This is a great list. Just stumbled across a hilarious Cupcakes & Cashmere satire blog that I think everyone would love. It still seems pretty new but seems to be going in the most hysterical direction. Enjoy :)

What a great site …it looks like I have a lot of reading to do. :)
This is such a great list! I’ve only recently started to read blogs, so this list will be really helpful to me as I search for blogs that I enjoy. I really love Suri’s Burn Book, which I’m not sure qualifies as an actual blog, but it’s hilarious all the same.
There’s another one I love that is mostly recipes, but other home and lifestyle topics, called Bird’s Nest 101. You should check it out for this year’s list! Thanks for compiling this list!
Glad you enjoyed the list! I’ll have to check out the blogs that you mentioned.
Great blog for empty nesters! Or just want to improve their lifestyle!
Thanks for this list…I am eager to check them out!
Enjoyed your list ! Thank you for this list!
Thanks!
Great list, but I’m disappointed there wasn’t a Best Green Blogs or Best Common Sense Blogs list!
Hey, great job. Is the list for 2012 coming out soon. Do not forget to check out Harleena’s blog http://www.aha-now.com/ . It is for sure a winning contender. Thanks, Holly.

An AMAZING list – thanks so much for putting it together! I’ve been wanting to find new blogs and bloggers to connect with, follow, and promote to my readers – excited to check all these out!
Enjoyed your list and I am familiar with many of these sites, but there is one group of women you failed to represent; grandma (or nana bloggers). We are growing in numbers! Besides my nanahood.com there are great sites like grandmasbreifs.com and gagasisterhood.com Check us out!
I’ll have to keep that in mind for next year’s post =)
