Blogs You Should Be Reading & Other July Links

One thing I am always on the lookout for is new blogs to read. From blogging groups on Facebook to blogs I’ve found on Pinterest I’ve come across a number of new favorites lately. As I’ve mentioned in the past, I love thinking of reading blogs as having coffee with friends. Each time I come across a new blog it makes me excited to have (almost) daily coffee with a new friend. Here are a few blogs you should be reading that I’ve found over the last 6 or 7 months.

New To Me Blogs You Should Be Reading

// A Simple Home – Terryn’s blog is filled with blogging advice, homemaking ideas and thoughts on personal growth. She recently expanded into share her home school information as well. Moms of younger kids, this is a must read!

// Coffee With Summer – One of my favorite daily reads is Summer’s blog. Her blog posts are well thought out and filled with gorgeous photography. While she talks about fashion and beauty a lot she also has some great blogging tips posted regularly!

// Thirty Something Angie – Time to DIY and check out Angie’s blog. She has a lot of ideas of DIY, essential oils and staying organized. This is a very recent find but a new favorite!

// Making Sense of Cents – Money is not my cup of tea. I hate it, I hate dealing with it. Michelle has GREAT tips on earning a little bit extra as well as how to save. She makes understanding finances a whole lot less painful. Plus, shes’ the mastermind behind Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing, hands down my FAVORITE course I’ve taken.

Blogs I’ve Loved That You Should Check Out

A few of my favorite blogs have been on my list for a long time. Some of these blogs go back 5 or 6 years on my favorites list and I still read them almost daily. If you’ve never heard of them, I would highly recommend checking ALL of them out.

// Simply Taralynn – Taralynn’s posts are incredibly long but incredibly detailed and well photographed! Her recipes look delicious, her coffee mug collection is to die for (from a fellow coffee mug addict) and her dogs are straight up adorable.

// Hungry Runner Girl – My favorite of favorites when it comes to running blogs. Janae is REAL about life and has so much to share about running (and food). I think it’s safe to say all of her readers have been nothing but excited for all of her new adventures over the last year.

// Garvin and Co – For awhile she was the Pinterest mom we all wanted to be. Now she shares a lot more of both sides of the story. While her house is gorgeous and she is incredibly creative, she’s not afraid to tell us when life isn’t great.

// The Style Files – A long time favorite and former dorm mate (is that the right way to phrase that?) has been Val over at the Style Files! She blogs a lot about fashion, mom life and she and her husband have some GREAT DIY tutorials!

// Simply Clarke – Another mom blog filled with great information is Simply Clarke. She shares a little bit of mom life as well as lots of her favorite products.
