Blogs of Note

When I did my latest blog redesign back in January, I took away the lovely link page and instead made it a little sidebar list instead. It’s shorter, but that’s because I wanted to change it every once in a while.

In a week or so that little list will be changing to a new set of 10 blogs I love to read, so here’s your chance to take a peek at the current list!

In no particular order of importance, here’s the current list!

Design Mom – Gabrielle up and moved her whole family, including 6 kids (!), to Normandy for a year. I’ve loved reading about how they adjust to French culture. And their kids are all nearly fluent!

Enjoying the Small Things – To say this is a blog about having a baby with Down Syndrome doesn’t even come close. Amp it up with inspiration and heart and you’re maybe halfway there.

Lesley Graham – Faith, health, family, and a cute little Etsy shop.

Life as an Artistpreneur – Becca’s advice for artistpreneurs is spot on. My favorite from a post about narrowing your focus: “You’ve got to be ruthless and skilled. TARGETED. A bad ass narrow-eyed ninja of dream growing potential. Focus, friend, and snip snip snip.”

M.K.D. – A bird created for every day in 2012. It’s so fun to see what they’re going to come up with next!

Nat the Fat Rat – Natalie lives in NYC, wears fake eyelashes and bright, bright lipstick, and spends a lot of time strolling in heels. And there might be something about a quest for the perfect chocolate chip cookie. What’s not to love?!

Not Your Average Ordinary – I think the best way to describe Brandi’s blog is thoughtful. Sweet, thoughtful and smart.

Oh Happy Day! – Jordan (Gabrielle’s sister) moved her family to Paris for a year. Lots of style, lots of great DIY projects.

Oh Joy – I love Joy’s new series where she tries out lots of local restaurants – I’m inspired to do the same in Dublin!

Rockstar Diaries – I kind of love seeing so much of Washington, DC, and remembering my time there in college. I love imagining what it would be like to live there without having to endure the humidity!

The House that Lars Built – Brittany is an ex-pat who blogs from Copenhagen. She is, hands down, the DIY queen.

Any great blogs you’re reading lately? How about a suggestion for the new Lovely Links list?

    You just made me smile. Thank you. I guess I try for thoughtful. And happy. And maybe a bit inspiring when I can be.

    This little space of yours is wildly inspiring, I think. And it makes me want to move to Ireland.
