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 #RubbermaidAmbassador Resetting my tween’s bathroom didn’t require a full makeover… just smarter swaps 👏🏻

I found these Rubbermaid bathroom essentials at @Walmart while doing a late-night scroll (because that’s when moms get things DONE 😅), and I love how they instantly made her space more organized and functional.

The Rubbermaid Mesh Pockets Shower Liner has been a game changer for keeping everything organized and the Rubbermaid Instamat™ Tub Mat gives me peace of mind with its non-slip design + easy hang-to-dry feature.

Both are BPA-free, kid-friendly, and designed to stay fresh longer—which means less work for me 💛

Small changes can make a BIG difference.
