reads for your weekend

I love reading other blogs, and I love sharing some of my favorite posts with you every week. (Although I took a little break for a while.)

The blogosphere has some amazing writers, and I continue to be inspired each week!

1. When Mama Ain’t Happy by Lisa-Jo Baker

This post in response to some of the Super Bowl entertainment and Super Bowl ads was so spot-on for me. I wanted to give her a standing ovation.

2.  Sparkly Green Earrings Giveaway by Big Mama

So Melanie Shankle’s book came out this week, and I am SO excited to start reading mine. I just can’t wait for it to arrive. Go visit her blog to enter to win a copy of the book and a pair of green Danielle Kendra Scott earrings.

3. Herlong and Associates by House of Turquoise

So I only follow a handful of design blogs, because my taste is kind of picky. But House of Turquoise always hits it out of the park. And this latest home feature is just absolutely my cup of tea. I’d move into this South Carolina house in a heart beat.

4. A Sweet Little Playhouse Tucked Under the Stairs by Hooked on Houses

I immediately want to build a playhouse under the stairs. These little play spaces are absolutely adorable!

5. The State of Weight {Postpartum and Beyond} by I Love You More Than Carrots

An honest and very inspiring account of postpartum weight loss. Seriously, this will make you want to get moving! AP looks fantastic!

Please feel free to leave comments and share your favorite posts from the week with me! I love finding new blogs to read.
