blogs I love
** I am not being paid to write any of this!
I just love the community that is part of blogging. Even though I have been doing this for over a year now, I am only just starting to find my blogging-family and make connections with other bloggers in a real and lovely and beautiful way. You are all so supportive of each other and inspired and beautiful and witty and charming, the love you all have for your families and for each other is over-flowing. I love seeing the connections between bloggers, and watching the networking circles grow bigger and bigger for each and every one of you!
With that said, I want to share with you some of the bloggers that I love best – and yes I am saying love – because I truly do love all of your blogs and the writers behind them! I love the effort you put into them, to connect with other like-minded people and the courage and bravery in sharing the minutiae of your lives with perfect strangers.
Kelle is the first blogger I fell in love with, and I love checking her blog to see what’s been happening in Kelle’s world every time she updates. Kelle is a step mum to two handsome teenage boys, has two beautiful daughters and is pregnant with her first boy – seriously, the love she has for them just oozes out of every photo and every blog post. She has this amazing and unique ability to make me feel like I am part of her family, and I leave her blog feeling all warm and fuzzy on the inside. Her writing is open, honest, inspirational, warm and funny and she takes beautiful photos of her girls. She lives life to the fullest, and inspires me to do so every day. I am addicted to this blog, and I can only hope I will be as awesome a mum to my children as Kelle is to her girls. Also, Kelle is the one who inspired me to get out of the house and down to the beach for our sunset date nights and I am so grateful to her every time I am there!
Edenland
Eden is a crazy-awesome, amazing and courageous fellow Aussie chick, and she’s funny, and so unbelievably honest and so real and down to earth – a true blue Aussie, no muss no fuss wear your heart on your sleeve kind of chick. I always love reading her posts, whether they are dark and gloomy or sarcastic and witty or happy or crazy. She went to Africa for World Vision, and I get the feeling that it seriously changed her life in ways I’m not even sure she knows yet. She is also currently in India for World Vision which is kind of amazing, and I have loved every word of her posts she has written while there.
Raising Master Max
Cherie is gorgeous, and her writing is so sweet and lovely. She is a fellow Aussie, and a truly beautiful girl, inside and out and the love she has for her little family shines through every word and photo! I am lucky enough to have met her in person and she is exactly how I imagined and more =)
Aloha to Angie on Maui! Angie and her husband quit the rat-race a few years ago to move to Hawaii. I look forward to her posts because they usually always calm me down, and remind me to take a breath and slow down. Both her and Kelle inspire me to make more time to just jump in the car and watch a sunset, to appreciate life in all it’s glory. I will always be grateful to them both for introducing this idea to me and for showing how fun and easy it is.
Fat Mum Slim a.k.a Chantelle, lives in Sydney, Australia and I really do love her blog. She created the Photo A Day Challenges I’ve been playing along with this year, and it has been so much fun building a community of friends and fellow bloggers who are also playing along. I love her photos, and the way she styles them on her blog, it’s so colourful, bright and happy!
Christina is the blogger behind Hair Romance, and is also one of the very first blogs that I followed. I remember struggling with my curly hair for so long and she was responsible for me falling back in love with my hair and looking after it properly and she is now my go-to for all hair inspiration. She has some great tutorials for both straight and curly haired girls, as well as an awesome 30 Days of Twist and Pin e-book {which I constantly refer to!}.
Becky is my first buddy-blogger. We are both newbies and still finding our feet but I am glad we are doing it together 
Tim Coulson Photography and Our House This Hill
I first saw the name Tim Coulson dropped around on a few other blogs I follow as a photographer and owner of some really beautiful photos, but I never really thought to check him out any further. How silly I was!! I have been following Tim and his wife Kesh (from Our House This Hill) for a while now and they are the most beautiful and in love couple I have ever seen. Tim’s photography is amazing and I’m quite sure I have found my future wedding photographer. Love. He means what he says when he is a photographer of people. I also think it is totally awesome seeing and reading about their relationship from both sides. I love both of them and I can tell how much they love and adore each other and their little boy Roo, and their blogs always give me a case of the warm and fuzzies 
Jackie at Sweet and Wild is exactly that, sweet and wild! She is super lovely and her blog posts are always happy, bouncy and full of love and sunshine. I love it when my reader says she has posted something new! Jackie has also just opened up an etsy shop – sweet and wild stationary.
There are many more lovely and wonderful blogs that I follow, I have a hard time keeping up with them all but here is a list of a few others:-
The Wild & Wily Ways of a Brunette Bombshell
This is a constantly evolving list and I’m always on the lookout for new lovely bloggers, so if you have a favourites list yourself point me in that direction!
