Friends - it's been such a long week! After my weekend of nothing last weekend, it was hard to get in to the swing of things. Plus - Tim had work events both Wednesday and Thursday nights, so I had a few long days this week. Today is a "normal" day - so Tim will be home after work and we don't have any plans for the night. I can't wait to see him!
#BloggerLove has quickly become one of the highlights of my weeks. I really enjoy seeing the blogs you all recommend, and I've found a few new faves from your links. Of course, it's always nice to share the love and highlight other bloggers here too! So, let's get to it.
"Confessions: 100th Blog Post Edition" by The Kay Times. Krystal always has the best confession posts because she is so honest and keeps it real for us. Her gifs are hilarious and always include at least one housewife - my fave! Plus, let's not overlook the fact that this was her 100th post!
"#samanthaslastdoedown" by It's All in the Details. Samantha went to Nashville for her Bachelorette Party and had the best recap! I am planning a girls trip in October with some friends, so I was seriously taking notes. After commenting, she even sent multiple emails with more suggestions. So sweet. Except now I wish it was October.
"On Opinions, Ice Buckets and Saying No to Fear" by The Rachael Way. Rachael said what I was thinking. I think the Ice Bucket Challenge is becoming annoying. Not because of the effect it is having - which is amazing, but because of the people only dumping water on their heads. Why don't we save the water and donate, as well to a charity that we truly believe in? I was nominated and donated to the ALS organization as well as two others. I grew up in the non-profit world (my Dad has run one for 35+ years) and my entire professional career as been in non-profits, so I get it. Maybe that's why it bothers me so much. Oh, and the fact that I personally knew someone that passed away from ALS and some "challenges" I see on facebook make it look like a joke. Ok, rant over. (Thanks Rachael for giving me the strength to go on this rant!!)
"A Letter to New Moms" by The Rambling Llama. A million times yes. Melissa hits the nail on the head with this one. There's so many things about motherhood that you can never read about or learn until you experience them!
Don't forget if you are linking up: Make sure your post includes at least one link to another blog from this week. If you tweet, please use #bloggerlove! Have a great weekend friends!
