You are in for a treat today! That is- if you are up for some extra reading. I say that because today I get to share five of my favorite blogs with you and a little bit of why I love them, or in other words, why you need to read them.
I've decided to share with you my five favorite blogs by women I've never met. The more blogs I read, the more I realize just how big and connected the blogging world is. I mean, they get together for conventions and retreats and all kinds of stuff. My little spot here is like one piece of sand on the beach. It astounds me how much is out there, and how even with my list of around fifty, I've barely scratched the surface. Anyway, each day I hope to see a new post from these ladies- to be entertained, encouraged, inspired.
This young woman is the mother of two cute little guys. Much of her blog now is fashion advice, but she also does some decor posts. She is an artist and a seamstress, so she posts many tutorials on sewing projects, some DIY projects, and if you go way back you will find some really amazing paintings she's done.
This is one of the newest blogs I've started following, and I'm already in love. She is the mommy to three little boys, a thrifty shopper, runs a jewelry business out of her home, and also covers many DIY projects. She also gets real about life as a mom of three, her personal struggles, and her faith.
I've mentioned this one before. She is an artist, through and through. She does amazing watercolors and is losing her sight. After reading a single post from her, I felt connected and found that she was able to put words to thoughts I found I had been harboring but couldn't explain.
When I first stumbled upon this one, I thought it was solely a fashion blog. Boy, was I wrong. This mommy of three talks about tough issues including miscarriages and insecurities, and gets real about how her faith sustains her. Several of her honest posts have encouraged me to open up about my own insecurities and allowed me to realize I'm not alone. I also found out that she paints as well as takes beautiful photos of her children.
Right now, this blog is my favorite read. This tatted up momma of two recently decided to homeschool her kiddos. She is an artist- on her blog you can find her truly adorable characters. She covers everything from the fun, quirky moments with her kids, to her faith and what she is learning about God and how He is working in her life. She just returned from a trip to Haiti, and I'm telling you guys- reading her blog has seriously spurred on a great deal of movement in my heart to follow after our God, even in the small quiet moments of life. (One of her posts is what made me pull out my copy of Captivating and dig into it.)
Friends- I cannot say enough wonderful things about these blogs. I honestly check my homepage each morning hoping to find something new from each of them. I hope you take the opportunity to follow the links and give them some reading time, and maybe check out their beautiful art while you're there!
That's it for today; I'd rather you click on over to some of these for longer reading.
Enjoy!
