When I started blogging last 2004, it was nothing but just total sharing of my own experiences. My blogs before were very much self-centered and considered them as an online journal. But as the years passed, I realized that one can blog not only for himself, but also for others.

That is why I am joining a writing project hosted by Ms. Janette Toral which is called: Top Ten Emerging Influential Blogs for 2011, sponsored by: Cyber Monday Deals, TRIbeca Private Residences, How To Videos, Palawan Beaches for Sale,Green and Natural Lubes Philippines, Philippine data center, Philippine online shopping, Singapore Jobs, Pinoy Party Food, Apartment for rent, and Best deals tips.

So without further ado, here are my top 10 influential blogs:

1. http://www.momwrites.com/
The blogger behind is Mommy Rubz. Despite the many trials she’d encountered in her life, she made this blog as a way to remember all the blessings she got and hoping to influence other bloggers to always stay positive.

2. http://www.mypaintedlips.com
The blog was made to remind moms that even though most of our time is spent for our families, most especially for our kids, we can still find time for ourselves and still be beautiful despite the haggard schedule of motherhood.

3. http://www.mygreenlivingideas.com
A great blog about eco-living, all things green. Being one with the nature has always given me a soothing effect and I’m sure mother nature had helped each and everyone of us in some ways, and it’s about time that we help mother nature back. This blog focuses on maintaining Earth’s beauty.

4. http://mommysurvival.info
This offers a lot of tips on parenting, motherhood, being a wife, self care, relationships, shopping, home management, and more. Personally, I need more tips badly and this blog is the way to go.

5. http://www.totteringmama.com
Blog owner homeschools her toddlers which is something that I have considered before but never had the guts to do so. The experiences that she shares help readers understand how it’s done by sharing online resources, activity ideas, worksheets and a lots more.

6. http://pepperrific.com
Being a parent, it’s definitely hard to cope up, but the mom behind this blog does it all single-handedly. I admire her passion and the parenting advices that she offers for everyone.

7. http://www.certifiedfoodies.com/
Being an HRM graduate, and who worked for a world class kitchen before, I came to love how a certain dish is prepared. This food blog mostly focuses on restaurant reviews and culinary adventures of two siblings. Hence influencing readers to go back to the kitchen and explore the wonders it can bring us all.

8.http://www.notepadcorner.com/
A mixed bag of life experiences, challenges, parenting, housekeeping tips, work, business, etc. A blog that offers wide variety of tips and tricks that can be applied by anyone.

9. http://thebloggersjournal.com/
Tutorials, tutorials and more tutorials. A very nice blog to learn things in as simple as 1-2-3. Being a blogger, there are a lot of things to learn, which is why tutorials are great way to share knowledge and experiences to newbies and pros alike.

And last but not the least…

10. http://www.levyousa.com/
A blog that talks about inspiration, accomplishments, and some useful tips and information for her readers. Another positive blog that influences readers to stay on top of the game called life.
