Friday Blog Favorites...

Happy Friday to everyone!!! It's a long weekend here and we are headed camping. Wish us luck. Leroy has never been camping, and my husband and I have never been camping together... hopefully putting up the tent doesn't result in a giant argument!

Last Friday I wrote a post with my favorite blogs of the week. This week I was thinking of changing it up a bit, and instead of listing my favorite blogs of the week, I will be listing my favorite blog posts of the week. This way I can spread the love to the same blogs more than once! I just recently participated in the GFC Blog Hop, and I made a ton of new friends. My blog reader is getting insanely full! It's hard to keep up, but everyone is just so awesome, I have been spending my evenings with Breaking Bad and blogs :)

There was so much to chose from this week. It was really tricky for me to come up with the top 5 but here they are, in no particular order:

1. The Anatomy of a Campire... over at Life on LeRoy (The whole LeRoy part is, by the way, the initial reason I started following this blog! Our dog's name is right there in the blog name! haha). I think since we're camping this weekend this post really drew me in. Love Alli's writing style and the cute dog pictures help too! We'll definitely be smore-ing it up this weekend, even if we have to do it over a stove and not a fire (stupid drought, stupid fire ban).

2. Classic peanut butter cookies... over on Kitchen Trial and Error. There are so many yummy sounding/looking recipes on this blog, but this one made it into my favorites this week because I am a SUCKER for peanut butter cookies! This recipe looks and sounds awesome and I can't wait to try it.

3. My dog picks up trash... over at The Coffeehouse. Just loved the humor in this post! Also, I can relate because Leroy is a garbage dog too. I should start taking pictures of the gross things he picks up.

4.  Adrian's Summer Entertaining Series: Easy Decor... over at oh, hello love! All of the posts in this series have been awesome so far, and I am excited to try the guacamole recipe shared last week for sure! Loved this post by Emily on easy decor ideas for summer though, I love when I go to someone's house and they've put effort into table and party decor!

5. A deep post... over on Daisy Girl. I really loved this post, it was very insightful, and eye-opening. I might have to write about something similar. I often feel like my entire life is a competition. Here's the comment I left on this post: "Love this post! It's so hard to stop going through life that way. It seems like there's always a sense of contest, competition, who can wear the best outfit? Who has the best relationship? Who makes more money? Who's winning at life? It's never ending , and I am really hoping to just STOP, and live my life as I want it." Head on over there and check it out!

So there you have it, my favorite blog posts of the week!!

Is anyone finding this useful? Should I keep this as a Friday regular? Would love your feedback!!!!

Have a great weekend everyone :)

Friday Blog Favourites...

I wanted to give a shout out to my favourite blogs I have read this week! I am new to the blog world, and I have been reading a lot of blogs lately. I can't believe I never really got into this before, even just as a reader. There is so much incredible talent out there, and there are so many great thoughts and ideas all over! They're everywhere!

Now, without further ado, here are my top 5 favourite blogs this week!

1. The Daily Tay... Taylor is hilarious. Her writing voice is just awesome and funny. She's got that sarcastic kind of humour that I just LOVE. Her post this week about the dog beach really sealed the deal for me! She already has tons of followers, but go check her out, I'm sure she'd love more!!

2. Our Little Balham Life... I like Nicola's blog so much, I've added her button! She's super cute, and talks about her life in England with her boyfriend, and her cat. Check it out!

3. Living Beautifully DIY... I love me some DIY, and some lovely Canadians! Something as seemingly boring as fixing up the pool shed is made interesting somehow. Follow along as they transform their house, one DIY at a time!

4. The Strawberry Blonde Life... Jill is awesome (she is Mrs. Snow Cone on Weddingbee!!). I love her newlywed blog. Her daily outfit posts have inspired me to do something similar! Go on over and say hi, and check out her button on my sidebar :)

5. Love and Renovations... Go say hi to Amanda over at Love and Renovations, she is Mrs. Cardigan on Weddingbee! Her and her hubby are slowly renovating their home, and she's got lots of DIY projects going on. Also, I love her Friday Finds posts! I spend more time looking for deals now :)

So that does it! It was so so so hard to pick 5. I have found so many awesome blogs this week, I definitely have enough to keep doing this post for quite a few weeks, and possibly forever. Tune in next week for 5 more awesome blogs!!!

I have been spending my day off doing laundry and cleaning our house. I did sleep in though, so it hasn't been a totally awful day, lol. Tonight my hubby is taking me out on a date night, we're going out to dinner and heading to see The Dark Knight Rises. I'm pretty pumped! Other than that, our weekend should be pretty relaxing.

What about you? Big plans for the weekend? What blogs are you loving lately?
