My #ARWB Blog Crush {blush}~ 2/7/13

Oh, this is so fun!!  We asked Arkansas Women Bloggers to tell us all about their favorite Arkansas Women Bloggers.  Not shockingly, the results were overwhelming – we all really love one another!

Welcome to the official #ARWB mutual admiration society.  Here are a few of the responses we received: three bloggers talking about bloggers they love.  Simplicity.  Perfection.  Bloggy Love.

Since I’ve been blogging at Our Everyday Dinners, I’ve had the privilege of meeting so many of my long time blog crushes.  Ree from The Pioneer Woman, Kelly from Kelly’s Korner, and Stephanie from Evolved Mommy are a few of the many I’ve been able to know in real life because of blogging. Thanks to Arkansas Women Bloggers, I’ve developed a bunch of new crushes including Beth from The Little Magpie, Julie from Eggs and Herbs, the one and only Stephanie Buckley from The Park Wife, and many others.

My newest blog crush is Heather from Heather’s Dish.  The minute I read the line, “cats scare the crap out of me” on Heather’s About page, I knew we could be friends. I am also terrified of cats AND I’m a food blogger, just like Heather.  See, Heather, let’s be BFF!  Her recipes are exactly my taste and her photography is gorgeous.  Since I discovered her blog, I’ve spent way too much time reading all about her and her cute little family (hello, stalker!) and drooling over her recipes.  The first one I’m going to try is the pistachio rolled chocolate dipped apples!

I am a closet foodie. Not a food blogger, not one who takes decent pictures of food, but someone who loves to cook simple healthy meals for my family. What I love about NWAFoodie (aka Lyndi) is that she has real reviews of products and places that have made a tremendous difference in some of my choices. Not to mention that she is just so gosh darn nice in real life. I am inspired by her blog and tweets regularly. Who knows, maybe I’ll come out of the foodie closet because of her!  Lyndi’s  blog is nwafoodie.com

I cannot possibly pick just one blog crush 🙂 Three immediately came to mind.

Jerusalem Greer because I want to live in her house. I know all about selective photography, but she makes everything look beautiful and cheerful even when I know it’s not, and the charm and heart in her blogging and her life come through in every post. I want to have her openness and kind heart.

 
Amanda Brown has great photography and is an excellent curator of the pretty and stylish. She gives crafting the best possible name. If I ever grow up, I want to have her style.

And, Kyran Pittman for so honestly sharing her family life, her thoughts on what it means to be a woman, a mom and a writer, creativity and spirit. I always feel enriched after time spent on her blog.

 

Do you want to share your blog crush?
First, head over to the Arkansas Women Bloggers Directory.  Find another registered Arkansas women blogger and tell us why she is your blog crush. Whether she’s a long time amour or only recently made your heart go pitter patter, we want to know why she and her blog are amazing.  Email a short paragraph (three to eight sentences will do it) to Arkansas Women Bloggers, and we’ll feature some of the best blog crushes (with links to your blog and theirs) throughout the month!

  1. This is the best self-esteem boost post EVER! Love you Jackie!!!!!!!!

    This “admiration society” reminds me of a story I heard about a teacher who had a bunch of misbehavin’ and cranky students. In exasperation she had them all pull out a sheet of paper and write down something they liked about every one one of their classmates. Years later, at that teachers funeral, classmates gathered and one by one pulled out those tattered sheets of paper they received from their classmates when they were just kids. Words matter. People matter. And I believe it is up to each one of us to make the next person feel valued and special.

    You’re doing great things ARWB!!

    Hugs,

    Lyndi

    Sarah,
    You are a kind soul! I literally gasped when I read this post in my car waiting on my little girl to finish ballet today! Thank you for including me in your list.

    I, too, am inspired by so many Arkansas bloggers and love our kindred spirit. It is unique and worth investing in! Thank you, ARWB!
