7 Blogs To Follow in 2017

One of my favorite things to do in my spare time, aside from spending time with family and shopping, is blogging. About four years ago, Simply Clarke started because of my love for writing and creating fun digital designs. Since then, Simply Clarke has grown and changed throughout our different seasons of life. I am so excited to see where it goes this year and I hope you will love it! Here are 7 blogs to follow in 2017 that I love as well!

Kailee Wright

I absolutely love how adorable her little family is and her fashion is right up my alley. It is simple, but classic and very mom friendly. Plus, she has the best hair and I have always loved good hair products. She is also super fun to follow on Instagram!

Simply Elliott

Lauren is one of my favorites and I consider her a “blog friend”. She has an adorable baby girl and I just love how honest and sincere she is in her writing. She posts on a wide variety of topics very similar to Simply Clarke.

Unveiled Wife

This blog is a gold mine for marriage and faith posts. I love Jennifer’s honesty and you will find a great collection of posts for every season of marriage. Her posts are written by herself, her husband and other contributors (myself included).

Cassie Rea

I originally found Cassie Rea through her awesome Instagram and have started following her blog as well. She has the cutest little family and I love her style. She is a believer, chick-fil-a lover and loves fashion. Need I say more.

Sunny With a Chance of Sprinkles

Chelsea’s blog is amazingly real and authentic. She posts about a variety of topics, but is always so personal and kind. You can immediately tell she is amazing mama and puts her family first. She is so inspiring and her girls are adorable.

Fierce Marriage

This site is always great for a wide variety of christ-centered marriage posts. I love reading their posts, they are always thought provoking. A great resource!

It Starts With Coffee

Neely’s blog is a classic. She posts about a wide variety of topics and is expecting a baby boy soon just like me! Plus, I love following her on social media. Check her out!

  • We went to @statefaretx and I finally got to bring my mom after our whole family loved it so much last time. 🎡✨The patio views, family-friendly atmosphere and upscale, spring fair vibes already had us sold before we even ordered.

Their new spring menu is good. (I can’t wait to go back for brunch). 🍽️

We ordered — 
OG Beef Chili Frito Pie 🎠
Chicken tortilla soup 🍲 
Smoked Cobb salad 🥗 
Chicken fried steak (Brooke specifically requested leftovers 😂) 🥩

And don’t even get me started on the fried Oreos with mint chocolate chip ice cream… 10/10.🍦🎢

Big portions, fun atmosphere, and such an easy win for a family lunch or dinner. Plus kids eat free Fri–Sun🎟️

If you’re local, add this to your list for your next family outing or lunch with friends 🎡❤️

  • #DoorDashPartner #DASHSPRING Feeding 10+ people doesn’t have to mean hours in the kitchen🙌🏻

This is one of my go-to mom hacks when we’re hosting or feeding a crowd—order everything I need straight from DoorDash, toss the chicken in the crockpot, shred it in seconds (KitchenAid moms know 🤍), add BBQ sauce and DONE.

Easy pulled chicken sandwiches with only about 15 minutes of prep on my part.

If you’re busy like me, this is your sign to let @doordash be your life assistant and take one more thing off your plate👏🏻
