There are many places you and I can go for inspiration, yes? We can surround ourselves in nature, check out magazines, hit up chic stores, chat with friends, watch HGTV, the list goes on.
One of my favorite sources of inspiration, however, comes right from the tappety tap, clieckty click of my computer – blogs.
Do you have your favorites? Have you discovered some cool ones lately that inspired you to delve into a new project, try out a certain style, or change your thoughts in order to live a more joyful life? I certainly have, so I want to share them with you today. Here are four new blogs I’ve recently discovered that have me feeling good and loving life. Check them out!
Jules, a wife, mother, writer, and attorney (but not always in that order) shares her everyday follies and triumphs with wit and honesty. She’s a laugh-happy lady with heart you’ve just got to know. And she makes the perfect friend for an accident-prone, quirky dame like myself because she provides companionship in the very real reality that we aren’t perfect – so let’s all just all have a drink and laugh about it.
PENELOPE LOVES LISTS – ”Inspiration for unapologetically organized soul” Yes!! I’ve finally found company in my affinity for list making, office supplies, and all things organization. Until writer and blog creator, Meredith, came along, I was the only lady I knew of this side of the Mississippi that found utter and pure elation in making lists, roaming the aisles of office supply stores, and stacking containers. She readily admits she’s got a to do list and she knows how to use it. You can even check out her current to do list on the front page of her blog. Loves it! You’ll find great tips, tricks, and tales all designed to give us our organization fix. Yes, please!!
COVET – Design blogger, Brigitte, serves up fabulous finds and design inspiration with this easy-on-the-eyes blog. Post after post has me saying “I want that.” or “Ooooh that’s what I want my house to look like.” or “That’s exactly what I’ve been looking for!” The girl’s got style and she knows how to share it!
HOLLY WOULD IF SHE COULD - Can we get a round of applause for honest, raw, relatable, and completely like-able bloggers like Holly? I LOVE reading her blog (and completely want to be her friend) because she delivers such pure observations, often witty, as she writes about “cooking, reading, traveling, and generally trying to get my act together.”
Thanks so much for the mention here. You made my list, too!
And I totally agree with you on all of these, especially Holly Would If She Could. I told her I think she could be the next Dooce. Want to fly down and have a drink with she and me? We’d love it!
Well, correction: a drink with her and me?
AW! That just made my morning, thanks ladies! I stayed up too late watching Real Housewives of New York and then ran out of coffee, so even though it’s Friday, it’s been a rough one — and this totally turned my day around. Drinks are on me!
You are SO welcome Meredith and Holly! Yes – a drink is in order.
Holly – what did you think of Real Housewives of New York? I’m so glad it’s back, yet I needed to practice deep breathing to get through the episode without having an anxiety attack. lol The drama and conflict…. Those girls know how to fuel drama. Wowzers!
You know, every time I watch the OC version, I think they are all so superficial and stupid but OMG, the New York version just blows it out of the water! The drama is out of control — I can’t decide if I love Bethenny or if I am mad at her this season. Only time will tell…
