I’m trying so hard to keep the number of blogs I follow in check, but it’s difficult.\u00c2\u00a0 I love reading blogs about cooking, home decor and DIY projects, gardening, children’s art and activities, parenting, and books, just to name a few of my favorite topics!\u00c2\u00a0 I think reading blogs has opened my eyes to so many new possibilities and ideas that I wouldn’t have otherwise explored.<\/p>\n
Here are some things that caught my eye recently:<\/p>\n
Ice Cream Roundup<\/a> on Tasty Kitchen.\u00c2\u00a0 The photos collages alone are beautiful (and divided into convenient groups of custard-style, egg-free, dairy-free, sorbet, and even frozen yogurt), but some of the recipes look divine.<\/p>\n 10 Keys to Patient Motherhood<\/a> from Passionate Homemaking.\u00c2\u00a0 As this post says, there’s nothing like motherhood to magnify your impatience!\u00c2\u00a0 These are some great tips!<\/p>\n A gorgeous california beach house<\/a> from Velvet & Linen.\u00c2\u00a0 This home is stunning!\u00c2\u00a0 I love everything about it!<\/p>\n Summerize Your Home<\/a> from The Nesting Place.\u00c2\u00a0 Something I’ve been thinking about lots lately as our downstairs leans heavily toward fall colors and dark wood that feel too warm for summer!<\/p>\n Creating Rhythm and Routine at Home<\/a> from Childhood Magic.\u00c2\u00a0 I just discovered this blog last week, and it is one of my new favorite reads.\u00c2\u00a0 Creating rhythm in our home (without making a rigid minute-by-minute schedule) is one of my goals in the next couple of weeks.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll share more of my thinking on this sometime soon.<\/p>\n Korean BBQ Beef<\/a> from Sweet Basil.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve been craving an Asian-inspired beef dish lately.\u00c2\u00a0 Hoping to make this one soon!<\/p>\n Gack<\/a> and Water Wall<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Both of these ideas come from a wonderful Australian preschool blog, Irresistable Ideas for Play Based Learning.\u00c2\u00a0 This is EXACTLY the kind of stuff I love doing with The Littlest Apple.\u00c2\u00a0 If we lived closer, I would totally send him to this preschool.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ve got a fence that’s just screaming for a Water Wall.\u00c2\u00a0 Can’t wait to make one!<\/p>\n Start Making Vanilla for Christmas<\/a> from Heavenly Homemakers.\u00c2\u00a0 I had every intention of doing this last year, but completely dropped the ball.\u00c2\u00a0 Hoping to get mine started this week!<\/p>\n
