A blog review for Husband of a BLOGGER as entry to Kaye and Pehpot’s Contest.

As the old saying goes, “If you can’t beat them, join them!” Yobib, a husband of a blogging addict, Niko, finally decided to create is own blog last June 2009. This family is making me smile and they are so inspiring, just imagine the wife got her own blog, the daughter who’s just two got her own blog too, of course maintained by her mother, and now the husband got her own abode in the internet. So lovely.

The two column layout with black bacground is very manly, a common thing in most of man’s blog I visited. It’s fun reading a blog of a guy, because most of the guys I meet have a hard time expressing their thoughts that’s why I have a great time listening or reading a guy’s stories. The topics varies, from health articles to entertainment news and facts, and of course stories about their baby girl, but what I like most here is his own version of Couple’s corner story. The wife have her own stories to share in her site, but it’s fun reading a man’s point of view in the story. You can just compare notes. Aww, this couple is just so sweet and connected.

A blog review for Girl’s rule as entry to Kaye and Pehpot’s Contest.

Girls Rule is another blog brought to you by Niko. Yup, she is one supermom, can you just imagine, a full time employee, who just got promoted, a full time mom and wife, and maintains.. wait I have to count her blogs lol… a total of 5 blogs. wow! She is one inspiring mommy!

Anyway, this blog is all about Girls. Girls rule here, so guys, just read but don’t react. hahaha. It’s the never ending talk about numerous role of a woman, from being a daughter to being a mother. Girls Rule got a new header here courtesy of K, it shows 12 sexy woman, each have their own character, this reflects the 12 ladies of marce club, wherein Niko is one of them. The header, purple background with white dots plus the clean side bars are so chic. Just perfect for for us girls. One thing I noticed, I don’t know if it’s just my browser, but the navigation menu is not in its proper place. This is the home of Thursday meme, Girls talk, which I was able to take part several times. This month theme is Dare Month. I’m having second thoughts of joining hahaha. If you are one brave girl, who loves to chit chat with fellow girls, do drop by at Girls rule, and have a great talk with the girls.

A blog review for Yena’s World as entry to Kaye and Pehpot’s Contest.

Niko’s daughter, Yelena Hayden or simply Yena was born in January 15, 2008. But Niko gave birth to Yena’s world in October 2008. Upon seeing the header, I know that this is a baby blog, there is a picture of Yena smiling proudly at her visitors. The three column layout is my favorite, wherein the sidebars widgets are placed nicely. Also on the sidebar, facts about Yena are posted.

Niko’s just love Yena so much, that this blog is all about her and how to take care of babies. This is Niko’s journal on her baby’s growth and milestones. Articles are dominated by Yena’s picture and videos and she is really an adorable baby. You can just see Yena smile, pout, talk, stay, or just about anything, it’s all about Yena, and indeed this is Yena’s World.  This adorable baby is very lucky to have a mommy like Niko who’s so sweet and so loving, but I know Niko is luckier to have a wonderful blessing in the form of Yena. By the way, Yena just turned two last January 15. (Niko, please replace the ticker at the footer ) If you need some ideas on baby blogs, or you just adore babies, make sure to put Yena’s world on your list.

A blog review for Lover Mushroom as entry to Kaye and Pehpot’s Contest.

A somewhat brown blog welcomed me I clicked on the link Lover Mushroom at K and Pehpot’s list of third level sponsors. The color perfectly fits the title; mushroom, wherein the story behind the mushroom can be read at the right side bar of the screen. Side bar widgets are neatly placed.

This is one of Niko’s blog, but this blog talks about the mushroom family . The blog started in year 2007, some of the articles are written in Filipino, so you can just relate or feel their love story. From having to hide their love to a love that endures all weather. Their story are just so sweet, I feel like I’m reading a pocketbook Though most of the entries are about the couple, Niko and Yobib and the baby Yena, you can find sponsored reviews, and some helpful tips like how to affair proof your relationship, I’m sure lots of women would be interested to read this. She is an active participant of weekly meme, called Couples Corner, wherein you will be able to get to know her through the stories she shares.

If you’re looking for an inspiring couple story, Lover Mushroom should be on your list, make sure you have a light heart because the writer indeed writes from the heart.

A blog review for Niko’s Blog as entry to Kaye and Pehpot’s Contest.

I can relate so much with Niko, the working mom behind Niko’s Blog. Yes, you read it right, she is an employee who has been promoted just recently, and yet she manages to maintain all her blogs and stay beautiful.
Her purple, pink, yellow and white stripes background, with a very clean two mini side bar is very nice. Browsing is easier with the availability of archive and the navigation menu that will lead to her other blogs. I don’t know Niko that much but basing on her entries and pictures she is one sweet lady who makes blogging part of her daily routine, in this blog, she shares her sentiments and happiness as a wife, mother, and a friend.  And she’s a spoiled blogger, receiving lots of gifts from fellow bloggers. Just read her mushy letters for her loved one, a letter that is worth sending but is part of the weekly meme Letters that I’ll never send.  Oh, I can just feel how sentimental Niko is. We share a common sentiment, to be a work at home mom, once the finances will allow it, as for her, it will happen when she wins in a lottery. I just wonder does this lady even place bets. hehehe. Anyway, if you are looking for a personal blog with lots of emotions that would bring out your mushy side, make sure you visit Niko’s Blog.

A blog review for Pen, Paper, Pan as entry to Kaye and Pehpot’s Contest.

What I discovered about the Work at home moms is a fact that most of them have a working career before they finally decided to leave their career behind to prioritize their work as a mother and wife. One of them is Yami, the mother behind Pen, Paper, Pan. The header represents the title very well, a lady holding a pen and paper in front of a pan. Woman are really multitasker, can you just imagine Yami, writing an article while cooking a meal for her family?

This blog talks about anything about being a wife and a mother and everything in between. You will be able to get to know Yami and her wonderful family with every article she is writing. Aside from personal experiences, there are a wide range of topics, like technology, travel, environment to name a few. She also shares wonderful pictures for weekly memes, litratong Pinoy and Food trip Friday. Oh, just a little reminder those Litratong Pinoy entries are written in our native language, Filipino. With blogging, she can still practice her profession as a writer and still she earns money online.  Come visit Pen, Paper, Pan, and understand how a mother embrace the life of a full time work at home mom.
