Posted by DJ Nelson on November 20th, 2008

T. Michelle Theus- This girl’s got wit, style, and a sense of humor to match. She’s not new to the blogging scene, but her newest blog will make you wonder why you’ve never heard of her. If you think you’ve heard all there is to hear about relationships you haven’t heard anything yet. [CupidsBitch.com]

Ms. Micah- There’s no shortage of financial blogs, and with the economic crisis looming over everyone’s head more are sure to pop up. But you have to sort out the real from the real crap, and that’s where Ms. Micah comes in. Though she’s not a financial professional she has a writing style that many can relate to as she writes from a freelancers point of view. Financial Planning + Freelance= 2 thumbs up. [ MsMicah.com ]

peggyk.JPGPeggy Kolm - Sorry divas, you won’t find the typical women’s discussions going on here, but you’ll discover facts you didn’t know about women in science. I can’t say I’ve ever seen this type of blog before so this is definitely a site to look out for and share with your mothers, daughters, and friends. [Sciencewomen.Blogspot.com]

Heather Solos and Ivy Hogan- are one duo you should definitely watch in 2009. There’s nothing wrong with women cooking, cleaning, and managing households but we are always fans of women who do it with style and a little sass. Home Ec 101 isn’t your typical household blog and for that reason we love it. [Home-Ec101.com]

Natalie MacNeil- When you are tired of the negativity and rude comments that are commonplace in media regarding women, come relax and read MacNeil’s blog that is all about the accomplishments of women. [SheTakesOnTheWorld.com]

Tracee Sioux- Today’s young girls life is filled with a culture of beauty tips, boyfriend secrets, and girl fights. Sioux is changing that status quo by empowering girls to be smart, confident, and active without throwing in the stereotypical activities. This is one woman you definitely have to look out for in ‘09. [SoSiouxMe.com]

beverlymahone.jpgBeverly Mahone- If you are a woman of a certain age you might find that there aren’t too many blogs that relate to what you are going through in life. Mahone seeks to change that with Boomer Diva Nation. With topics such as finding a job, selling a business, and how to dress age appropriately, “boomer divas” will find a place that feels like home. [Boomerdivanation.org]

Carolyn Morrison- Mention the word “homeschooling” and you are likely to get a range of reactions from “that’s great” to “eww, what about socialization?”. Morrison’s blog, Guilt-Free Homeschooling is full of information on how to do just that- homeschool without guilt. This blog is jammed packed so if you want to homeschool or if you’ve ever wanted to pick the brain of a homeschooling family this blog is for you. [GuiltFreeHomeSchooling.org/blog/]

Amy Derby- All Diva Media is always a fan of telling it like it is and Amy’s blog does just that. If you are ready for real talk on blogging, social media, and presentations then check out Write From Home. Keep in mind, this is a crap free zone. [Write-From-Home.com]

Alyssa Avant- In these busy times saturated with TV, iPods, and Facebook it may seem like moms and daughters have nothing in common. However, when you read Avant’s blog, and explore her ministry you get a completely different message. You can connect with your daughter, you can have a wonderfully open relationship, and you can raise a child to have a strong faith. [BeautybyDesignOnline.com/blog/]

Catherine Beier- Does the thought of natural childbirth put a smile on your face, or does it make you clinch your thighs together tightly? Beier’s website and blog hopes to inspire women to be confident enough to trust their bodies to give birth naturally. Even if you unapologetically have epidural tattooed on your forehead, you should still give it a read, you might learn something. [Blog.GivingBirthNaturally.com]

Jen Smith- AKA “The Millionaire Mommy Next Door” describes her family as closet millionaires. If you think that becoming a millionaire is highly unlikely yet you’d still like to try then come read Smith’s advice. The old posts aren’t there due to the site being hacked, but subscribe anyway and you may discover that you are closer to your dreams than you think.[MillionaireMommyNextDoor.com]

lauraemira.jpgLauren Bacon and Emira Mears- are business partners, authors, and co-bloggers at The Boss of You. These ladies will show you how to run your own business on your own terms, and after all, that’s the best way to do things. [LaurenAndEmira.com]

Laurel Delaney- If you have dreams of being your own boss but you aren’t quite there yet don’t give up! Delaney’s blog Escape From Corporate America is not only great resource for women business owners but it’s also wonderful for those who are still working in corporate America. Get a dose of news stories, inspirational profiles, and tips. [EscapeFromCorporateAmerica.BlogSpot.com]

stephanie_quilao.jpgStephanie Quilao- Normally the title Back in Skinny Jeans would cause us to say “no thank you!” but you can’t judge a book by it’s cover. This blog isn’t about glamming up and slimming down, instead it covers how to be emotionally healthy so that you can reach any physical goals you desire. [BackInSkinnyJeans.com]

Necole Bitchie- Everyone has their guilty pleasures. For us it’s celebrity gossip. If the nom de plume doesn’t spark your interest then the juicy gossip tidbits will. [NecoleBitchie.com]

Lynn Siprelle- Domestic diva’s will love Siprelle’s frank and practical advice. We love it because we love feminist stay at home moms. You’ll love it to, especially the tips that save you money and help to de-stress your life. [TheNewHomeMaker.com]

Dawn Friedman- With Friedman’s blog you’ll get a wide variety of topics. This freelance writer covers adoption, politics, blogging, and homeschooling; however we think she describes it best as the blogs subtitle is “writing, mothering, and writing about mothering.” [ThisWomansWork.com]

And as a number 21 bonus.

The All Divas- Come on, you know I had to say it. What list would be complete without us? From parenting, to plus size, to working at home, to marriage, and weddings we’ve got you covered. [AllDivaMedia.com]

Note: There are two duos listed. Each woman is counted individually.

I am so honored to be in this list of strong women.

I am also honored to be listed in this group. You never know who’s reading what you write. I’m just tellin’ it like it is–from a Boomer Diva’s point of view!

Beverly

P.S. It’s also good to see Stephanie on this list. Haven’t heard from her since we visited Hallmark headquarters together as Top Bloggers.

MyAvatars 0.2

All these women are great! If we read all of the blogs listed it would have more value than several large conferences. Packed with wit, wisdom and wonder. Thanks so much for this research and discovery.

MyAvatars 0.2

Great list of blogs and good to see Beverly Mahone listed. Are there any here outside of the US & Canada? Just curious.

MyAvatars 0.2

How very cool! Thank you for including me and for giving me a lovely list of others to keep an eye on. ;-)

MyAvatars 0.2

Thanks ladies.

@Kathie I have to admit that country wasn’t a factory but maybe the next list should take more time to explore that before publishing. There aren’t any country domain name extensions on the list but I have no idea where everyone is from.

MyAvatars 0.2

Thanks for including me. I’ve checked out a number of other bloggers on the list and it’s a great group!

MyAvatars 0.2

Great group! I’m honored to be included.

MyAvatars 0.2

How awesome to be included in the list! And thanks for turning me on to a whole list of new blogs to check out. All Diva rocks :)

MyAvatars 0.2

Great list, thank you!

I’ll definitely check out these women’s blogs.

MyAvatars 0.2

File my comment under “better late than never.” I am both honored and humbled by this mention! It is my desire to help homeschooling moms (& dads) find what works for them and encourage them to follow that path with heads held high. Thank you for helping me spread that message!

MyAvatars 0.2

I must say that I’ve had the pleasure of tweeting with a number of these women on TWITTER and I think that you did a GREAT job of picking the women to watch for!
