10 Blogs To Follow in 2016

10 blogs to follow

I have been blogging for three years now, and one thing I love about as much as blogging is following other bloggers. I love the friendships I have made and seeing their creativity. I follow a lot of blogs and really like finding new blogs to follow, but here a few blogs I will be following in 2016.

 

Simply Elliott: I have been following Lauren’s blog for a while now and love it! Her and her husband are expecting a sweet little bundle of joy soon and I have been loving her pregnancy updates.

 

Mix and Match Family: I started following Shay’s blog in 2015 and really enjoy hearing about her little family. Her three kids are super adorable and she is always coming up with unique recipes.

 

The Modern Tulip: Maegen is super gorgeous and her son Maddox is a show stopper. I love her upbeat blog and fashion sense; I know you will too!

 

Aubrey Kinch: Aubrey has killer style and I love her decorating skills. She also has an amazing Instagram you want to check out.

 

Sunny With A Chance Of Sprinkles: Chelsea is incredibly real on her blog. I love how open she is and I love her creative writing. She is a very gifted writer and loves her family so much.

 

The Samantha Show: Samantha is another blogger I love with great style and a super adorable family. She is super real and tells it like it is. I love how  honest her blog is and how her personality really shines through in her writing.

 

Katie Did What: So I might be obsessed  with how fabulous Katie looks pregnant. She rocks motherhood in style, yet is so incredibly real in her posts as well. I love reading her site on the daily.

 

Helene In Between: I have been following Helene for the last several years and her blog has gotten better and better. She is funny and has great blogging advice. Her blog is always a good read.

 

Lauren Conrad: This is the only “celebrity” blog I follow and I am hooked. They have the best post variety and I get lots of inspiration from this blog.

 

Sequins & Things: I love Alyson’s style and am constantly getting outfit inspirations from her blog.

  • #ad If your afternoons feel like a sprint, save this easy snack idea! ✨🙌🏻

Before school pickup, I pack quick snack boxes with pretzels, fruit, cheese, and the NEW @QuakerChewy Protein Granola Bars, so everything is ready when it’s time to head to activities. 

They have the same delicious chewy taste and texture we already love, and each bar has 5g of protein and 10g of whole grains, making them an easy addition to our snack boxes. They come in Caramel Chocolate Chip and Maple & Brown Sugar flavors - both are equally amazing!

What’s one snack that’s always in your after-school rotation?

  • #HelperPartner School nights can get really busy, and I need a dinner on the table fast that everyone will love! Helper helps with that! 🍔

I turned @helper Cheeseburger Macaroni, a pound of ground beef and simple toppings into a Loaded Cheeseburger Bar with fresh shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and onions.

Helper helps you feed your family for less while making it easy to create a delicious, comforting dinner in under 20 minutes. I love that everyone can make it their way and build their own bowl!

Shop Helper now and create your own easy weeknight dinner spread!

  • No gatekeeping here… this is my #1 planner tip for middle school. ✏️📓

I’m teaching my daughter how to actually use a planner this year, and @pilotpenusa FriXion Vibe Erasable Pens are the MUST HAVE. Because assignments, tests, activities and plans are going to change and I don’t want her planner covered in confusing, crossed-out dates. 😂

I also love that she can choose her colors based on her vibe. We’re using ZenFocus for schoolwork and assignments and DreamGlow for goals, creative ideas and the things she’s excited about this year. 💚💙💗💜

Middle school is a big enough adjustment. If I can help her feel a little more organized and prepared going into it, I’m calling that a win.

  • Save this for your next couples getaway near Houston 🤍✨

If you’re looking for a relaxing Galveston, Texas resort with a little luxury, put The San Luis Resort on your list. 

From the gorgeous Texas coast views and poolside cabana (the fruit + champagne were such a nice touch 🥂) to an amazing poolside lunch, it was the perfect way to slow down and enjoy some time together.

We spent the evening at Grotto + grabbed gelato, started the next morning with an incredible breakfast buffet at Blake’s Bistro, and finished our getaway with a couples massage at the spa. 🧖‍♀️✨

A beautiful resort, good food, time to unwind, and quality time together… honestly, what more could you ask for? ❤️

📍 The San Luis Resort | Galveston, TX

Save this for your next couples trip from Houston!

  • If you’re heading to @homedepot anytime soon… SAVE THIS! 👀🧡 I found SO many good home finds on my trip to Atlanta for Home Depot Unmatched, and these made the list!

✨ My favorite: this fan! Our old one was putting out basically ZERO air, and this one has completely changed the game. It’s functional AND so chic… now I want to replace every bedroom fan in our house 😂

🔥 Kevin’s favorite: the grill — and yes, it has a SEAR ZONE!

The RYOBI detail scrubber kit is another must-have (seriously, cleaning just got a whole lot easier), plus the clamp fan kit and so many other smart home finds you’ll want to see.

🧡 Comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links!
