Actually, I read (or at least skim through) it all.

I’m with Katie. But I do tend to pass over politicky stuff unless I am in the mood.

I don’t categorize. Don’t do blog-feeds either. Every blog I read from someone I don’t know personally in real life is a quiverfull or large family blog. Because, frankly, that’s what I can’t get in real life and what I like reading about, so I use the internet to feel like there are lots of other people like us.

I read the politics and the big family stuff with most interest. I skip the stuff on what you bought for how much, and skim the recipes unless they seem particularly good. (I keep meaning to try that granola recipe; I have it saved). I read homeschool posts unless they’re about specific materials or something–with my oldest less than 2 I don’t need that right now.

I searched for blogs that contained mentions of food stamps and found yours. I stay and read every post mostly because of this. My family also receives food stamps. It’s refreshing to read someone who is honest with everyone. I like how you also are doing a real food diet, it’ll be interesting to read your journey. =)

thank you for all you do to help people understand that normal families also need help from this program

What an interesting question! I DO put some of my blogs in categories, you are in Food, along with Slashfood, Cookthink, Bitten, 30 Bucks a week, Grocery Cart Challenge, Cheap Healthy Good, and The Blog That Ate Manhattan, among others. I first encountered your blog from a comment you left on the blog of that guy who was doing a foodstamp challenge for CNN. You and TBTAM are the only ones who regularly mix politics with food, household details, etc.

One of the reasons I keep coming back is that I seems to be a bit of a large family groupie. I was an only child, and I have two young adult children, so your life is so foreign to me…

We don’t often agree politically, but so what? Who says we have to agree to communicate?

I like reading about how you handle your large family. (I have only one child-so you are a rock star in my eyes.) I like the cooking posts and how you handle feeding your family on a budget, etc.

As people know something very interesting material about how it works, you should buy the original custom essay just about this topic.

Psh I don’t suck up. I just think you make cute babies. And you forget-I’m an editor at heart. I always appreciate proper syntax and grammar, especially with your wit thrown in. We’re sisters. We have the same humor.

I read everything that you write. Always. I especially like reading about your children, but I also like your comments about your faith. And, like you, I abhor some of the things that our present government is involved with. God help us!

Oh, Katie, you are a shameless suckup! (That’s my little sister, guys!)

I read for the 7 takes, the menu plan, the quality control posts (food safety, toy recalls, etc.), and politics.

I think of you as a Mom first. I enjoy reading pretty much everything you post about, but am particularly interested in politics and discussions of faith.

I read it for the children updates, mostly. I am shamelessly addicted to your prose though and read EVERY. SINGLE. POST. And if, for some reason, I miss a few months, I will go back in the archives and read them. In chronological order.

If I had my feeds categorized (which I don’t), I would probably put in in Catholic. That’s how I think of you, but I enjoy reading most everything you write. I love cooking (eating!), so I always like reading about that. I’m probably less inclined to read the homeschool articles in detail, just because we don’t homeschool, but I do always at least skim them, because I am interested in the topic, and we might end up homeschooling some day. My husband is not a homeschool fan, so right now our kids are in a private Christian school and I work during school hours. But we may not always be in a position to do private school, so I try to be as knowledgable about homeschooling as I can.
