Beyond UFYH?

I'm looking for blogs about homekeeping (cleaning, organizing, keeping up on housework, design/decorating, and that sort of thing with maybe some cooking or gardening thrown in). I like Unfuck Your Habitat and I used to read Apartment Therapy before moving into my own house. Are there any other blogs out there that offer inspiration/motivation to keep up with housework and/or design ideas? I'm very DIY and craft-oriented, and appreciate frugal living ideas, too, so blogs that incorporate those things are good, too.

I am not part of the scene, but I do love reading Domestic Servitude for all the reasons in your parentheses.

I've been on a cleaning/organizing blog kick myself. Here are some I've bookmarked or follow via FB. Just a note, several are SAH/homeschooling/Christian moms with a somewhat specific worldview. Sometimes that worldview hits a nerve with me personally, but none have compelled me to unsubscribe yet.

Young House Love is always entertaining. No cooking, but the rest is there.

Kath of Kath Eats Real Food seems to love cleaning and organizing. You might enjoy both the cooking aspect of her blog (her primary focus) and also a series of posts she's done called Home Neat Home.

the ask a clean person column on thehairpin.com is an excellent source of cleaning tips. i think the author also blogs at joliekerr.tumblr.com. both helpful and hilarious.
