What Kind of Blogs Do You Enjoy?

I love to read blogs. They can be informative, funny, a glimpse into some one's life, or the chronicle of some one's family, or even a place just to rant. I sit down each morning, coffee in hand and read through all my favorite blogs. The problem is that I like a lot of blogs. I can plan to spend 30 minutes reading and end up taking much longer. I must learn better self control! Anyway, I love blogs, have made wonderful friends through them, and think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. They are my outlet to the outside world, something I desperately need as an SAHM.

While blog hopping, I am noticing more and more blogs that are strictly review/giveaway blogs. I do not like them. Sure, I do my fair share of reviews and giveaways here, but there is more to my blog than that. I work hard to keep blogging, even if what I write about is silly, it comes from the heart. And that's what I want when I read blogs, more than just product plugs and giveaways. I love giveaways and such, but give me some "meat and potatoes" in your blog as well. I just do not understand the concept of a blog that is 100% product reviews and giveaways. Now I do value the opinion of other moms when it comes to products and such, but surely you have more to talk about than the pitch of the day.

As I've said, I do my fair share of reviews and giveaways. I also do paid posts to help support our family. I try to blog often and about different things so that maybe my paid posts and product reviews will not detract from the overall theme of my blog. I make an effort not to be solely a review or giveaway blog. I do not want it to become my only content. I like to think my blog is interesting without the giveaways, reviews, etc.

So, do y'all enjoy blogs that are 100% reviews and giveaways? Or do you prefer a mix of those and unrelated content as well. I myself love to win a prize, value other moms' opinions, but also enjoy watching my blog pals' families grow, learning how to make kugel, and all the other wonderful things I've discovered thanks to mom bloggers. I can't wait to hear how y'all weigh in on this one.
