daily life
In one form or another, the term daily life is a somewhat aged concept. It is also one that has been around for a few years now. In blog terms, daily life is simply a telling of every day occurrences. Its broadness is surely sufficient for blog fodder.
There are many blogs which chronicle the daily life of their creators.
Take for example, Daily Life As Spiritual Exercise , which talks about having a focused daily life.
And then there's, Daily Life in an Ivory Basement. We might think that this blog is going to cover everything from buying groceries, to an image of a man in glasses, snuggling with a cute Terrier on the sofa. But, then we see on the second line of this title, "Stochastic thoughts on science, testing, and programming," and we see where the focus actually is.
