Happy New Year’s Eve Ya’ll!!
I thought I’d share some of the bloggers that I’m planning on reading all through 2011! Some of them veterans that I’ve just stumbled on to- and some of them new comers that just crack me up!
(In no particular Order!)
1) The Moms at: Mom Loop– Never have I been part of a community of women that answer each others questions faster, or with more humor and kindness! When I have a question in 2011, I know this will be the group of women I ask first!
2) Counting Coconuts– This is a blog I recently discovered, and it inspired my sensory tubs in the last few months. A great blog for sparking parental inspiration.
3) Quirky Momma- One of the first bloggers that I read, that I got a chance to meet in person. A truly ingenious blog that gives countless ideas on easy activities to do with children that ae both fun and educational!
4) Birthday Girl– I love a good party! And this blog features birthdays and parties of all different themes- all beautiful. So many ideas! So little time!!
5) My Alabaster Jar- Erin just strikes me as a good soul. Her blog is saturated with her faith- and it’s always done in a gentle way full of tolerance and love. She is expecting a baby- drop by and wish her very little morning sickness!
6) JDaniel4’s Mom- A blog full of resources for mothers. Lots of activities- big focus on child literacy as well as reviews and giveaways.
7) June Cleaver Nirvana– She just makes me laugh my face off. And then she writes something sweet. And then she makes me laugh my face off again.
8 ) Tip Junkie– Craft ideas, remodel ideas, stuff to do! A great site, always new content. I’m a junkie:)
9) The Activity Mom- Not only ideas for activities you can pull together from household objects, but also her own line of pre-packed activity kits sold via ETSY. Super smart mom!
10) Living, Loving, Laughing- A new bride, budding photographer, new stepmother, and lover of all things beautiful. This modern day PollyAnna is the real deal. A real person- who you can really like.
11) Skip to My Lou- Subscribe to this gem. I do, and I have never regretted it. Every morning I get a new craft or recipe in my inbox- and they always make me smile. This lady is a powerhouse of cute.
There are so many more blogs I want to include– but I’m sticking to 11 in honor of 2011!! I hope in this list you find a few new places to read and to gather motivation and inspiration in this brand new year! May it be your best year yet! Full of promise, full of good deeds, full of laughter, full of blessings and full of all things WONDERFUL!!
WELCOME 2011!!
About Shannon SchmidShannon traded in her sensible NYC TV producer shoes (they were best for taking the subway), for a pair of Texas Cowboy boots when she married her best friend! He's at fault for making this Yankee a Texan! Shannon writes about all things that make a house a home. Her chief blogging inspiration is being the proud & slightly neurotic mom of a preschool age daughter.
You can find Shannon on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and her new favorite place to hang out, Google+.
