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!

  • #ad Pool days with kids always look relaxing... until you’re packing half the house. 😂☀️ One thing that’s earned a permanent spot in my pool bag?

@GoodWarrior Beef Sticks. I recently discovered this NEW protein snack, and it’s such an easy grab-and-go option for busy summer days.

They come in Original and Jalapeño Pepper flavors, and both are packed with flavor. Each stick has 10g protein, 100 calories, and 0g sugar.

Plus, they’re made with grassfed & finished beef, gluten free, and contain no MSG, artificial flavors, or artificial preservatives.

If you’re stocking up on summer bag essentials, add Good Warrior Beef Sticks to your list! 🙌🏻

Find them here: https://click2cart.com/4962000f

Which flavor are you trying first: Original or Jalapeño Pepper? 🌶️🥩
  • #AD Summer hosting doesn’t have to be complicated to feel special 🤍 

I grabbed Tate’s Bake Shop Chocolate Chip Cookies,  Double Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Soft Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies from @target and turned them into the easiest s’mores dip board for summer nights.

The crispy cookies have that signature crunch, and the soft baked cookies have a delightfully chewy texture. Everything tastes elevated and the quality is amazing 🍪✨

@tatesbakeshop really understood the assignment for easy summer entertaining!
