Blog Love

So I know that i definitely set a pretty low bar when it comes to blog content and consistency. However, in my writing absence I do a creepy substantial amount of blog stalking. Lately I have come across the greatest blogs... Most of them are on my left sidebar, but I wanted to do a quick shout out to some of my favs...

The Daybook



Miss Sydney is a quick-witted fashion blogger. Her hubby (whom she has no qualms about sharing how madly in love she is with him) take a picture of her outfit pretty much everyday. I have found great inspiration to get me out of a fashion rut.



Awesome Decorating tips and a lot of features on other bloggers







Jennifer Johner is a creative genius! I pretty much die everytime I take her virtual house tour. Great decorating and craft ideas.






This blog is definitely one of my favorite daily reads. Danielle is a SAHM to baby boy Henry. I love her healthy lifestyle and weekly tattoo features.





and what would a post on featured blogs be without mentioning the famous miss molly. I love reading about her beautiful twins and silly antics. She is a beyond talented graphic artist. I have hired her for several jobs and I cannot recommend her enough. and shes a local girl 


Make sure to check out those blogs as well as all the others on my page :-) (Christmas posts coming soon)


much love

so proud...

Monday was a big day for my sweet hubby... The last night of his Bachelor's program. When we first met my parents threatened strongly encouraged him that any man worthy of dating their daughter would take getting an education seriously. And so it began... (i mean can you blame him... hello! it means he got to marry ME... just kidding people... please... calm down). We quickly realized however that his hopes of having a college degree were going to be put off by the fact that he didn't have a recognized high school diploma. so in the midst of working full-time at a restaurant, and part-time at a church he started plugging along at community college classes (they don't require a GED). Fast forward 4 1/2 years later and he finally gets to start his bachelors program. I have never seen someone tackle such an insurmountable task with such zeal and passion. (if you know my hubby you know how passionate he is about everything he does...)  He took on an incredibly difficult program in the midst of us both working full-time (him two jobs) and a new baby. Somehow through it all he was able to balance all of his spinning plates. Never did he let his home life suffer because of school work. It has been a long 6 year road but there are no words to describe the pride I feel in my husband for him accomplishing something people told him to quit a long time ago. 

I am proud to present my husband....

James Edward Doezie, Bachelors of Science in Organizational Leadership
