Spotlight Saturday

Here are FIVE of my favorite posts from the past week. Each week I will be highlighting some of my favorites. I have many blogs in my reader, as I have many friends with all different types of “niches” or “non-niches”. I will post serious stories, fun stories, pictures, recipes, etc. They will most likely be in a random order.

Note: I’ve been a total slacker with this lately.  I read blogs still, I promise.  I just forget to spotlight the awesome ones.

1.  FamilyFreshCooking-Food Blogging for Money, Passion, and Living

3.  The TomKat Studio-Kim Stoegbauer on MarthaStewart.com

3.  Hold On To Your HEADbands

A simple tutorial for headband storage.  Now if you’ve read my blog, you would know that I have a bazillion headbands. This is right up my alley.

4.  Snickers Caramel Cheesecake Cookies

Wow, Jenny did it again.  These look delightful. Are these even legal? Just looking at the pictures make me gain 10 pounds. But seriously, everything that Jenny makes is FABULOUS.

5.  Well Play, Kelly Ripa (An Ode to the Fug Girls)

Sarah posted a photo of herself and Kelly Ripa at an event.  She also made up some dialogue to go with the photo.  I laughed so hard, that I might have spit out my Dr. Pepper.

4.  Skip To My Lou-Craft Camp

Cindy, one of my favorite crafty bloggers, is featuring a craft camp the entire month of June. So although this isn’t this week, it is every day this month.
