Sonia- The glamorous life of a mother

By reading the blog "the glamorous life of a mother” one can discern the troubles one has when dealing with a pregnancy. In the blog, Katy is a mother of three children with another baby on the way in 3 months. During this period, she must continue to raise her children while simultaneously thinking about her unborn baby. During this time, things make her feel happy and sad at the same time, as she is both glad and slightly depressed at the same fact that her children will be home at all times during the Christmas break. This furthers the feelings of instability that she feels as one reads the blog.

Katy is never satisfied. She wants it to snows but at the same time despises the thought of it. This might seem like drama to some, as all her posts are different in words but they all bring the same message, of her complaining.

Interior is most important part of houses as it is where we are spending our life. Everyone wants to have something special. Some people like to have their own national themes for their interiors. However, they have to go to designers who can help them to create something particular.

Farisha - Zoe's Bag Boutique

Bags are an essential part of everyday life. Whether they are school bags, wallets or fashionable handbags, bags are necessary for carrying our 'stuff'' around. People also like to carry it around to make fashion statements.

Zoe's Bag Boutique is one unique store that creates and sells unique bags. The blog features Karen Norback's (the owner) designs for bags of different sizes, made of a variety of materials and for a variety of uses. The different colours, materials and designs used for the creations promote her creativity and thus, her products.

The blog itself is organized very well. It shows photographs of Karen's creations from all angles and the pictures are followed by detailed explanations. The links to the Boutique's website, contact information and links to all relevant information are clearly presented. Furthermore, the gadgets at the right of the posts reveal her enthusiasm for her creations. For example, the 'RateItAll' gadget allows readers to write reviews about her products and shows her openness to suggestions from her readers.

I found the blog interesting because I think it is rare to see such passion for bags, as is showed by Zoe's Bag Boutique. We take bags for granted and do not normally think of the effort that might be put into creating one bag. The blog tends to inform its' readers about the thought and effort that goes into creating a bag, and is worth 'checking out'.

Amna Zahoor- Lemiga Events



Weddings are one of the most important events in one’s life. As its an event that occurs only once in a person's life, everyone wants to celebrate in a perfect way. This blog is about the business of arranging all kind of events.


Lemiga is an event planner from the United States. She is running her own business with the name Lemiga Events.The blog’s layout is alluring. Even though the colour of font and background is light, it can still be easily read. Also, the blog is full of beautiful pictures from different events. The combination of bright pictures with the light background is superb. However, the pictures are not balanced with text well. I like weddings very much because I find it really fascinating. After looking at those pictures and arrangements, one can easily think to marry again.


The gadgets are very specific and arranged well.

Overall, it is a complete professional blog. But due to lots of pictures it takes little more time for loading. Furthermore, it provides all contact details.

Amna Zahoor- Opening Hira's Life



The personal blog that I liked is Opening Hira’s Life, by Hira Zainab. She is from Pakistan. She is an engineering student having the capability of writing. Her blog depicts her thoughts about life, and its’ experiences. After looking at her blog and reponse of her readers, one can guess that she is famous among people who like to follow blogs.


Her blog has a beautiful combination of background and text colour. The black, white and red colour text enhances the reader’s attention. Also, she has decorated it with the different art images according to her text description. I liked her recent post, confession court, in which she told the readers about the people she loves. She expressed her feelings about their importance in her life. This post shows her sensitivity and care for the relationships.


Furthermore, the gadgets are arranged and easy to fine in her blog. She has shared some poetry and there is also a list of blogs which she likes to visit. There is guest book for comments and feedback from readers as well.


Hence, I think this is kind of different blog with no personal pictures but with personal feelings. The link to blog is http://spotlesssoul.wordpress.com/.

Farisha - Rob and Lauren Photoraphers

There are special moments in life that just have to be captured on camera. Weddings, birth of a baby, and family events are examples of such special moments. Rob and Lauren Photographers is a business that captures these moments for their customers. The business is based in Edmonton and is a success judging from the amount of work portrayed in the blog.

Their blog is a unique one that features their works. The layout of the blog is simple and elegant and the colours just bring out the best in the photographs. The different services offered by the business are categorized and the links to the business's website and other categories are easy to follow. All relevant information, such as their contact information, is presented in clear and concise words, as should be for any business blog. The blog contains lots of photographs of their work and quite a lot of words for describing these photographs. It also shows humor and beautiful moments. There are many photographs depicting couples in love or families having fun together. Many photographs depict the ideal family life, and bring a smile to the readers' face (it certainly brought a smile to mine).

Above all, I found the blog to be very memsmerising as one can just spend the entire day just looking at the photographs in the blog, so be sure to check it out.

The only negative thing about this blog is that the photographs take a lot of time to load, so you might want to view the blog through an internet connection that is fast.
