Friday Five-Favorite Blogs

Just Me and My Life

Today’s Friday Five is Favorite Blogs. This one was super, super hard to narrow down! I wish that I could list all of the awesome blogs I follow! I passed on blog awards last night, so check out that post for more blogs I love!

First of all, a favorite blog post wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Beth! When I started blogging, hers quickly became one of my favorites! She’s great!

Here are my top five!

1. Kelly’s Korner

Oh my goodness, I just can’t even tell you how much I love this blog! She has such wonderful inspirational things to say, and she has managed to stay so positive throughout difficult times in her life. She is absolutelly my favorite “blog celebrity”! I just love her!

2. Bring the Rain

I have spent many hours crying while reading this blog. Angie beautifully documented their journey through baby Audrey’s terminal diagnosis during the pregnancy, losing Audrey, and life after. It is very inspiring how she clung to God and her faith in him throughout her difficult time.

3. Lauren’s blog

Lauren’s blog is one of the first blogs I discovered when I first started reading blogs. Her blog goes through her pregnancy with quadruplets and then losing them at 17 and 22 weeks. Her story is absolutely heartbreaking, but she, too, has mananged to stay strong through an extremely difficult time.

Remembering The Green Beans

4. Pioneer Woman

Love this girl! She not only makes the most amazing food and takes fantastic pictures, but her stories of life on a ranch are just hilarious! I would love to go spend a few days at her lodge!

5. That’s Why Her Hair is So Big

Oh, I just love Tara! Her blog is also one of the first ones I started reading, and I love it! Her Target Tuesdays and Trainwreck Thursdays are awesome! Love her blog, and love being Twitter buddies too!

Also, she’s doing an awesome giveaway on her blog, but please don’t go enter because I really want to win! :)

Ok, so I can’t do just five! Only one more, I promise!

6. A Girl in Pearls & A Boy with Toys

Jen has got to be the busiest blogger I’ve ever seen! From Tool Tuesdays to Favorite Fridays to Wedding Wednesdays on the Wedding Stories blog to blogging about life, she’s always got something great going on her blog!

If you don’t read any of these awesome ladies’ blogs, you should definitely check them out! Also, link up at Beth’s blog to show us your favorites!

Channeling Pioneer Woman

I’m about to do three posts in one night, so brace yourselves! A couple of weeks ago, I tried a new recipe that I saw on tv. The Food Network has a show called Five Ingredient Fix, and there are some really yummy recipes on there. I tried the whole wheat penne with turkey and asparagus. I substituted chicken for the turkey. It was really good and pretty too!

Jack came over and sweetly begged for a bite!

I was feeling a bit like Pioneer Woman, so I decided to make some mini chocolate chip muffins!

My brother decided he was hungry, so he came over. He didn’t like the pasta so much, but Jack enjoyed having him over!
