Rockin’ Girl Bloggers

I’ve been himming and hawing about whether I should write this post or not – the last time I opened my mouth to stand up for girl bloggers (choosing of categories for the las Irish Blog Awards) I was shouted down quite vociferously!

But I think I can get away with this one…. K8 recently awarded me a “Rockin’ Girl Blogger” award!

It’s a meme that’s been doing the rounds and when you receive the award then you get to award it to the best girl bloggers of your choice. As K8 describes it:

It’s a sort of… pass the pink idea, sort of like a little dig of appreciation to your fellow girlie bloggers.

With that in mind, I took a run through my blogroll to see who I should award one to and the results are in. Being typically me, I didn’t stick to just 5 girlies, as I had 6 very deserving people that I couldn’t choose between…

Grannymar – how could I not? The woman who barely knew anything about blogging a year ago now has her own domain and is entertaining people with her wisdom and wit day after day…

Beaut.ie – the girls only came onto the scene late last year but they’ve revolutionised beauty blogging in Ireland and thoroughly deserve ‘yet another’ award!

Red Mum – Mother, Photographer and great drinking buddie, her column paints a true picture of life with a teenager while her photos display the many facets of Dublin life.

The Humble Housewife / Frugal Tiger – Deborah dispenses both delicious recipes and thoughtful money saving tips – an essential in today’s costly Ireland.

Maman Poulet – Recently moved to a nice spanky clean new home, the pilot of the mothership casts her acid tongue over Irish politics and anything else that catches her fancy.

Mary Gilmartin – The ultimate girl geek, the languages that she knows certainly aren’t the worldly ones that you and I speak! Follow her path to learning Japanese and other tidbits that cross her path over at her ‘Crossing the Net as I Work’ blog.
