Lately there has been a few people commenting on the lack of Blog Love and how it is harder to break into the blogging community.
It did make me look back on how it was when I started blogging a couple of years ago. I had a few familiar faces and a little circle that all followed each other, there were lots of Blog Awards and introductions to "newbies".
As my life got busier I still read all of my blogs but was guilty of not leaving a comment as much.
Or if I did it was just one or two words and not as in depth as I would have liked. I am trying to find the time to read and comment more lately as I do miss the community feel. I still catch up on the "old friends" but I have found some lovely new spaces to visit too :)
So in the spirit of Blog Love, here are some of the blogs I follow. Both old and new favourites.
Pop over and take a look, leave a comment and make someone's day :)
Jill from
Life at Number 91 gave me the Liebster Award a while ago. Thanks so much Jill, I really appreciate it :) Make sure you pop over and say hi to Jill. She is on an organising streak lately and her tidying and organising is a bit contagious!
Anna has a baby Noah too, he is 6 weeks or so older than my Noah. She also adores homes/interiors and creates wonderful paintings. I'm still figuring out if I have space for one!
Amanda from
Homely One. was also another early follower of my blog and I of hers.
Amanda's blog is full of wonderful recipes, craft ideas, her home and beautiful girls.
Belinda from
Billy and August has a beautiful blog. B is a friend I met through blogging who happens to only live 15 minutes away. Belinda is only a couple of weeks away from having her 3rd baby and her blog is her diary. I feel privileged to read her thoughts and feelings.
The love she has for her family and how she expresses it is heartwarming.
Plus she is always up on the latest social media things that I love :)
Some of the newer blogs I have discovered is Julie's blog at
Mama of 2 boys.
I love Julie's photos and her story of life with her 2 boys. Her writing and honesty is beautiful and she is one of the best blog commenters I know! Reading her blog makes me feel like I know her and could be friends :)
Karla from
Ironmum Karla is a former Ironwoman, now a mum of two but still a sporty lady!
I love to read about her healthy lifestyle and recipes and take a bit of inspiration in getting healthier.
I always love to hear a new tip on feeling and looking fabulous!
I've just discovered Joanne's blog
A Blog by Joanne and I am loving reading about her home renovations and design ideas :)
These blogs are just a drop in my blog list. If you look to the left of my blog you can see all the blogs I follow! I do try to browse you all and leave a comment if I can :)
Leave me a message with your blog name and link and I will drop by and say hi. Also let me know if you have a favourite blog. I'm always looking for new reads :)
