Hey Little Birdie!

With every post I write, I feel like you all get to know me a little bit more. But, I’m sure your insatiable need to know more is never quite quenched. I totally understand. And in response to you, today I am going to share with you several of my favorite blogs out there on the world wide web. This list will include a little bit of everything. But what better way to see what inspires me, moves me, and fills me on a regular basis.

So, in an effort towards full transparency, here you go…

1. Young House Love – This married duo started a blog for their friends and family who were interested in the remodeling/redecorating projects they undertook on their 50′s ranch house once moving from Manhattan to Virginia. Needless to say, they are a DIY-er’s inspiration. They learn all the tricks of the trade and share them in easy step by step instructions. And their decorating sense is seemingly effortless.

2. Creature Comforts – This site seeks to inspire in so many different ways each and every day. Whether it is her Chic for Cheap feature on Tuesdays or DIY crafty tutorials, the creativity is endless and affecting. If you can’t get enough of Ez, also check out her personal blog Carrying On or her etsy site Wren and Chickadee.

3. Pop Candy – Well, this is a little different, but equally cool. I’ve been reading this blog for years, and thus can personally account for Whitney Matheson’s unmainstream approach to pop-culture news. Being a part of the motholith that is USA Today has not censored her unique voice to shine light on what the major entertainment outlets often don’t see or at least don’t show us.

4. Pleated Poppy – This is Lindsey’s blog. We are on a first name basis… or at least I am with her. That’s the way I feel about her. As she shares, you connect and soon feel she could be a part of your circle of friends. This incredible mom is bursting with talent and craftiness (in a non-old-woman-sense), and yet she doesn’t intimidate you with it. She’s authetic and self-professed as imperfect. My kind of girl! To check out her goods (I mean products), go here.

5. Vol. 25 – I haven’t been following this blog for as long as the others, but it has quickly captured my heart. Jessica has a love of quotes (me too!) and is extremely gifted with graphics and overlays (me, not so much). Too bad, we were almost long-lost friends. Her love of family and life inspires me to grab on and hold tight all that I cherish. Oh, and her creativity is without limits. Check out her etsy site as well.

So there you have it. A small sampling of the blogs I can’t wait to read each and every day. And I am always looking for more… so what are some of yours? I can’t wait to add even more to my ever-growing Google Reader.
