Research Journal 2

The blog I chose to read over the semester is called "I am Dr. Laura's Worst Nightmare." It's a personal blog written by a mom. One reason I chose it is because the woman who writes it is from northern California, where I was born, so I feel like we already have a connection! She refers to her husband as "the hubs" which I think is really funny. There is a good mix between her personal life and current issues. All of the entries are humorous whether they are about how her family is cleaning out the bookshelves, or her views on the president. She posts a lot of pictures to illustrate all her entries which are very fun to look at. When she mentions something that has a corresponding website, like a book or a bag she owns, she always links the sentence to the website. It is fun to click on the website and look at what she is talking about. When I was trying to decide on a blog to read, I clicked on this one and the first thing I saw was- "blogging since 2004, mothering since 1991, badass for 50 years." This immediately caught my eye and made me keep reading. It really sums up the blog perfectly. This woman reminds me a lot of my Aunt who also lives in Northern California so in a way I feel like I already know her. Although, you never know what she is going to write about next!
