Today's blog-light features a little blog I've been following for quite some time & enjoy immensely! Definitely worth clicking through and checking out :)

Sam is such a sweetheart - and I love the pink hair! She's married to an equally adorable guy, Chas + together they have the sweetest-cheeked little girl, Hero. Her photography and video skills are so amazing, I think I spend as much time following her photography site as I do her regular blog. The fact that Sam manages to multitask a growing family, running her own business and finding time to publish her first book just amazes me + totally inspires. me. (Fun fact: I've always daydreamed about publishing my own work of fiction...someday) 

I also want to point out this little tidbit: Sam and her family follow the Mormon belief, and I've never read her blog and thought "there's no way we can relate, having such different views" -- exact opposite! I think Sam speaks from the heart + that's someplace we can all relate to and find common ground on. 

Take some time today & this weekend to check out her blog, Young People in Love. It's totes worth it! 

PS: Their gender announcement video (in the About section) is just about the cutest little thing ever! 

PPS: Sorry for the crickets this week -- both the girls have been sick, and we've been trying extra hard to get them on the mend. Sidney has her kindergarten field trip to the zoo today, and we really want them to enjoy it 100%. Next week will hopefully be better, and I can share more fun things with you all. Have a happy weekend!

Holy guacamole -- thanks to Kaelah at Little Chief Honeybee I found THE most amazing blog: The Militant Baker.

This girl? Jes is ah-mazing. Her open letter to Mike Jeffries (y'know, the CEO of A&F who hates fat people?) is GENIUS. I love that she's all about positive body-image, has a wicked sense of humor and seems 100% authentic. It's hard to find good blogs sometimes in the all the muddled, hipster, wannabe mess out there -- this blog is such a breath of fresh air!

If you only follow one new blog this weekend -> The Militant Baker is the one to follow!

And a big kudos to Kaelah for always featuring the most awesome people + things on her TiLT series. I have discovered so much coolness out there thanks to her and her weekly posts! Happy 4th birthday to your blog!

I know, I know -- let me go ahead and guess what you're thinking: this is just another series that will fizzle out before it ever gets really going...

And you may be totally right! Admittedly, I'm the world's worst at starting something here on the blog and then never seeing it through. But here I go again, despite the voice in my head that says, dude? why? -- because there are a lot of great blogs out there, and though my spotlight may be small, it's still a light and I'm going to let it shine. This series will feature at least one blog --sometimes more-- that I've found and think you should know about. I'm always looking for new blogs to follow, seeing as how variety is the spice of life, and maybe you are, too! 

So here we go, another feature series, one I hope to continue for a long time. Or at least 'til next Friday :)

 

I found Elycia's blog, ♥Elycia, through another long-time favorite of mine, The Dainty Squid -- definitely worth checking out, especially if you're a fan of Kaylah and her blog! You can see some of their fun collaborations --including hilarious videos-- here.
