T.Bird also hosts some hot giveaways! I like this blog because T. Bird is real and tells it like it is. You should go check her (and her blog) out!

The Lame Sauce
Name of Blog: The Lame Sauce
Name of Blogger: Gregg
Blogging since: Unknown
Number of followers today: Undisclosed
Average number of ppm (posts per month): 10
What the Blog is about: Gregg has just the right blend of self deprecation and humor. He's a dad who raves about his kids, thinks his wife is beautiful and will blog about scheming to get some. He keeps things fresh by posting the occasional vlog. He also keeps it real in a way that I think dads generally do better than moms; a recent post was about a stinky poop he took in his daughter's bathroom that was so terrible it actually made her cry. There are few things more dear to my heart than a good poop post.

What the Blog is about: Leanne is a junior high school teacher and mother of six-year-old twins. Sounds wholesome, right? Think again. The subtitle to her blog is "if you can't laugh at yourself, laugh at your kids." In a recent post she compares her son to Oedipus. In another, remarking on the twins' sixth birthday, she harkens back to their birth and refers to her newborns as "slime balls." But, the last lines of that post are these, "You make me happy. And you make me laugh." Snark with heart.
