I’m falling more and more in love with the blogging world and handmade community with each passing day. I’ve been a blog reader for 4 years, but there’s something about social networking and meeting people in real life that brings a blog to life. I can only hope that you feel the same way about my blog. I really want to create a space where people feel they can come and share about life, family, love….
Here are just five blogs that have been inspiring me lately. I hope you’ll take a minute to check them out. These are by no means the only blogs I read, if you only knew the truth! But some of these amazing ladies I know personally and that makes their blogs all the more special to me.
Andrea is the author of Four Flights of Fancy. Her blog is filled with beautiful photography about life, family and fashion. On more than one occasion she has encouraged me to hop out of my comfort zone and try out some new fashions and colors I never thought I could pull off. I’m delighted to call her my friend. Her life is every bit as beautiful as she is.
Julie is the author of Joy’s Hope. I began reading her blog a couple years ago; draw in by the story of the loss of her precious baby girl Joy. Her story is one of hope, rejoicing and God’s goodness. Each post if filled with color, honesty, and a vivacious love of life and her family. Did I mention that she is pregnant with a baby boy! Yahoo!!
Casey is the author of The Wiegand’s. I only met Casey a couple of weeks ago on Twitter, but I was immediately drawn to her blog. I seriously visit her blog daily, even though it’s part of my RSS feed just to hear the music play in the background as I pour over her words and pictures. She is truly an amazing person inside and out. Casey is also an amazing, award-winning artist.
Julie is the author of Angry Julie Monday. If you love photography, great tutorials and awesome humor, you will love Julie and her blog. I’m still not sure why she is so angry {hehe} and while I know her personally, I still haven’t asked her. I love that when you meet her in person she’s exactly how she is on her blog, fun, witty, adorable and every bit friend worthy.
Nicole is the author of Olive Blue and one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. I have so enjoyed getting to know her and she was one of the first people who reached out to me on Twitter about meeting in person. I even attended a boutique she was selling at. Oh! Did I mention that her store is every bit as adorable as her blog?! I love all of Nicole’s post about her adorable family and her honesty and vulnerability. And my little guy has a big crush on her daughter. =)
These are only five of my favorites, but, by no means the only ones. Don’t worry, I have plenty more I’ll be sharing with you…. are you as excited as I am? I hope so!
I’m linking up, hope you are too.
