Featured Bloggers

 

Each week we will select bloggers to feature, our most popular and favorite posts to share with you. This week we had a 5-way tie for Featured Bloggers! These are some great posts, you all chose them well. Grab the Featured Blogger button to display on your post’s page or sidebar.

Book Babble’s Sunday Post where she shares books she read, books she got and booktubes too from this week. 

Being Fibro Mom’s Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness where Brandi tells us what it is, how to prevent it and 5 ways to treat it. A must read for those who want to be physically active especially with chronic conditions like fibromyalgia.

Frugally Blonde’s What to Buy in February. I never know what produce is in season in the winter so this list is particularly helpful. 

Melissa Kaylene’s 25 Scrumptious Smoothies . Whether you’re drinking smoothies for nutrition or a treat, these are some great ideas in here to pin or bookmark. I have my eye on the Salted Caramel Cookie Dough and the mango smoothies, just sayin.

Nanna Wisdom’s Top 10 Plugins for New Bloggers. Though I’ve been blogging for 3 years now, some of these are new to me. Great list with a few of my must-have plugins too.

My Weekly Recap:

READING:

I finished The Wife, The Maid and the Mistress by Ariel Lawhon which I won from a SheReads giveaway for my book club. Set in the 1930’s, a historical fiction about a judge who disappears and the stories of the women in his life. I enjoyed this one and the ending caught me by surprise. I love when stories aren’t predictable and I’m really curious now to look up articles on these characters.

I am reading Hello from the Gillespies on my Kindle. It’s a family drama set in Australia with a couple whose marriage is on the rocks and their four dysfunctional kids. The drama is getting more intense and hopefully it changes tone soon so that I don’t give up on it. I’m not emotionally attached to any of the characters yet so not sure I care yet to finish.

 

I won The Last Breath by Kimberly Belle from a Deep South Magazine Twitter chat a couple months ago. I’m on the blog tour for it so I’ll be reading and sharing my review with you in a couple weeks. Stay tuned, this story about a girl finding out what really happened to her parents sounds mysterious and so good. I’ve heard great reviews about it and hoping I enjoy it as much.

BLOGGING:

In case you missed it, here’s what I blogged about this past week:

• [1 Feb] Foodie February Linkup and Reading Goals
• [2 Feb] NC Blogger Network Feature & Menu Plan Monday – Feb. 2, 2015
• [3 Feb] Top 10 Young Adult Books I Want to Read
• [4 Feb] Throwback Thursday Linkup {28}
• [6 Feb] Be Our Guest Fridays {17}: Journey through Chronic Pain by I’m Lost in Books
• [7 Feb] Small Victories Sunday Linkup {36}

I finished up the Pinning Perfect- a Pinterest ecourse (affiliate link) and I have been loving making pinworthy images in Picmonkey. I have lots to do and will be making it one of my February goals to buckle down and make some of my old posts more pinworthy! I’m having trouble keeping up with posting new content and working on my massive to do list to get my blog more organized. How do you manage writing content and doing all the behind-the-scenes work? My free blog planner has been helping with getting all my ideas down and in one place but I need time to execute.

NEW CO-HOSTS:

I’m excited to announce that we have some permanent co-hosts that will be joining me to host and help grow this fabulous linkup. Stay tuned for the announcement! More bloggers means more participants and even more great posts to read to start your week! I would like to add one more food blogger to our team, so if you’re interested please fill out this form and I’ll be in touch to see if we’re a good fit for each other. Thanks for your support in growing this inspiring linkup!

If it’s not working to grab the coding text, please just save the picture and add it, WordPress is giving me a very hard time getting coding right even when I copy/paste the coding that works!
