Blog Reviews: Dooce.com

I’ve recently stumbled upon Dooce.com which is a blog written by Heather B. Armstrong. She is a 30-something stay at home mom living in Salt Lake City. She is married with one daughter and has with two dogs.
Her blog (http://www.Dooce.com) has been running since 2001 and has won several awards throughout through the years in the blogosphere world. This year alone she swept through the 2008 Weblog awards (http://2008.bloggies.com) by winning the following awards:

Best American Weblog
Best Designed Weblog
Lifetime Achivement
Weblog of the year

I haven’t gone through each post she has written since she’s been around since 2001. But with the ones that I’ve read I’ve been impressed. Her writing is to the point and she holds nothing back. In fact when she first started her blog she was fired from her previous job. She was a web designed in Los Angeles at the time.

Her blog features a daily photoblog, a daily chuck photo blog, a daily style photoblog and a regularly updated blog.

The daily photoblog shows her life journey as she sees it posts anything from a icy winter day in salt lake to a book of disney books in her daughters collection.

The daily chuck photo blog is a daily updated photoblog of their 6 year old “supermutt” There’s some weird and interesting photos in this section of her website. Definitely worth the look. More recently however, the section has been run by her new puppy a an Australian Shepherd named Coco. So maybe she can re-name this section Daily Chuck & Coco or something like that.

The Daily style section showcases her sense of style as she photographs items they have collected throughout her life.

This blog is truly a work of art and anyone who is remotely interested in blogging, photography, family or in life should definitely give it a visit. In fact I think they already do.

My Rating: 4.5/5.0
