Inspiration

Over the years, I have been inspired by these ladies, 

whose examples and advice have reached me in different ways. 

All Us Christensens:

Though she hasn't written in years, I love Julie's writing style, her stories and photographs.

Asking Jane: 

Several years ago, this more seasoned mother was petitioned by her daughter Natalie (see "My Corner of Satisfaction") to give advice to some of us closer to the beginning of our journey.

Clover Lane: 

Sarah at Clover Lane has great tips on mothering, organization and house keeping. I admire her devotion to her family and her down-to-earth personality.

Love Taza: 

Naomi takes gorgeous photos of her family--traveling NYC, the world, or just in their lovely home--and jots down all the cute things her littles say and do. I'm impressed by her consistent record-keeping.

Mel's Kitchen Cafe: 

This has been my favorite recipe site since 2010, when as a new homemaker, I was desperate to learn how to cook better.

My Corner of Satisfaction: 

Natalie's troup of kiddos has come in quick succession. I hope to see her blogging again more. She writes beautifully of her passion for mothering.

NieNieDialogues: 

Stephanie is so steady about posting. The woman only took off several months after being in a plane crash! I wish I had such a great record of my family's life. I also love her style. 

Real (Good) Cooking: 
Julie has some simple and yummy recipes. She is also a dear friend of mine. Check her out.

Sogni d'oro: 
My cousin Liz posts on design, travel, nature, favorite foods and books; basically, she writes about anything that makes life worth living.

Something Devine: 
I love Hailey's photography and videography. It's also fun to see her growing into her new job as a mother.

71Toes: 

Shawni's photos are beautiful and I love her tips on "deliberate parenting." I also love her indecisiveness and attention to detail that came out as she was designing her home. She is a women after my own heart.

Enjoy and let me know what I need to add! :)
