Some of my Favorite Blogs

Ok...so I have admitted that I am a Blog Stalker...so what? Most of you are and probably won't admit it and if you're not...you need too! I haven't been able to sit down with a good book lately...just not in the mood...but give me 10 blogs to catch up on and that will satisfy me...well, almost. Blog reading doesn't satisfy my sense of smell...something about the smell of a book! Anyway, here are a couple of my favorites:

***Before anyone gets upset that their blog isn't on here - I read all of my girlfriends and family blogs - those don't count b/c I comment on them. These are ones I STALK! And I don't read all of these every day - would never have the time.***

Other Mom's/Parenting Advice/So on:

Big Mama - probably my all time favorite - she is hilarious! Good dose of Texas fun!

Jessica Turner - we were pregnant at the same time - she had Elias a couple months before I had Eli. Very creative and easy to read site! If you like scrapbooking - she's your girl!

Anderson Crew - mother of 3 little ones - great photographer and I LOVE the layout and colors on her blog.

Kelly's Korner - new mom of Harper born this month - she just came home from the NICU. Kelly is just a breath of fresh air!!

NieNie Dialogues - you may of heard of this family on the news or around the Blog world. Stephanie and her husband were in a private plane crash (in August) and suffered serious burns all over their bodies. They are parents to four incredible little ones. She was in a medically induced coma for months and her sister's took the kids and kept up her blog b/c it already had thousands of blog stalkers like me. She is back...starting to keep up the blog again! Amazing story!! (you should definitely read her older posts to read the before/after)

Decorating/Crafty:

Nesting Place - The Nester is known all around the Blog World. She is my all time favorite! Her mistreatments are incredible, cheap and easy! I am making some soon.

Heather Bullard - Simply the most BEAUTIFUL site with tons of great ideas! Love, love, love!

Bless Our Nest - tons of ideas, tons of pictures! (Note: Jill, you gotta check this girl's Halloween decorating collection!! Look at her September archives - tons of cute stuff!)

The Inspired Room - everything on how to make your home beautiful! I save pictures from her site all the time and keep them in my "Home File". She is great!!

A Little of Everything:

The Farm Chicks - such a fun, pretty site! Little bit of decorating, cooking, gifts, etc. I wish I lived near Washington so I could go to their show in June.

Wedding/Event Planning:

Style Me Pretty - just about the BEST there is! Both Melinda and my wedding were featured on here - check them out: Danielle & Lee and Melinda & Cass

Snippet & Ink - beautiful, fun and a ton of great ideas!

All Things Lovely - gorgeous pictures for every color/theme you could ever want! I just scroll thru and look at all the pics.

Blush - little bit of everything! (invitations, beautiful pictures, gift ideas, life)

Photography:

Lisa Russo - Incredible children's and family photographer in the Atlanta area. If I weren't poor - I would take Eli this very minute! She also shows you how to hang groupings (of pics) in your home. Very helpful!

One Love Photo - absolutely STUNNING photos! Makes me want to have another wedding...

Just some of the ones I pray for: (most of these will break your heart but inspire you at the same time!! I will let you just read their stories instead of me telling you about them.)

Gwendolyn Strong

Witt Harris Lupher

Cora Paige (please be praying for her family as she went to be with Jesus this past week)
