I’m including some of their posts I think you’ll love too so you can get some weekend inspiration and some great things to pin to your boards.
Let’s dive right in shall we?
The Friday Five: Lifestyle Sites
- Leyton is killing us with his finnicky eating! We have started feeding him Garden Lites veggie muffins and I get SO excited when he gobbles them up because they are full of zucchini and carrots. #MomWin You can see the amount of the veggies in each little muffin in the picture above. Isn’t that awesome? I asked them if I could get a coupon for you guys to try them too and they said YES! You can click to download the coupon HERE!

- Blogging can be an overwhelming and lonely field if you work from your home day in and day out. The amount of work that goes into one blog post: buying items needed for the photo shoot, creating the concept, photographing it, writing the post, editing photos, editing the text, hyperlinking to all resources, publishing, promoting on all social media channels, and other behind the scenes items like working on the SEO for a post means writing just one blog post can take 3-5 hours.And that doesn’t include maintaining social media, email inbox, reaching out and collaborating with other bloggers or brands, etc. Many times I end up working 50+ hours a week on the blog, so having other mom bloggers who do it all and understand it means the world. Today I’m sharing some of my favorite momma bloggers, lifestyle sites and support systems and some of their most popular posts below!
SewSarahR is a precious Atlanta blogger who I met at a blogging conference last year. We have stayed in touch ever since and I love her bright Instagram feed and can’t get over how cute her little boy is! I can’t wait to make her favorite workout mix on my Spotify for next time I break a sweat at our home with my little man.
Take Time for Style is made up of Kristin and Megan. I met them through a blogging group online I believe and have known them now for years. Kristin is in Tampa, so I’ve got to meet her one of the times I go down to see my in-laws! These two ladies blog about mom fashion and are so sweet! You can check out how to style one of the latest trends from them right now: gingham!

My friends at The Chirping Moms have built the most fun and helpful momcentric site. They always have great toy guides, crafts and kid-friendly recipes. They alsoo have this amazing Whole30 approved Sausage and Tomato Zoodles recipe I have been wanting to try!
Kristy at Seven Graces is one of the sweetest and most genuine people I’ve stumbled upon in the blogging world. She had her second baby about 9 months ago and she’s in lots of the same blogging groups I’m in. She is a believer and such an encourager. Eric and I are itching to go to wine country, so I think you guys may also love seeing her 10 Things You Must Do in Napa Valley post.
Chic in Academia: I love Bertha from Chic in Academia because she’s a fellow boy mom and Birmingham blogger AND she’s one of my blogging besties I know I can text late at night and still get! One of my favorite posts from her is this DIY Hermes Tray. Make sure you go follow her blog, you won’t be disappointed.
Jennifer from Life in the Green House has been blogging about as long as I have. We met about 5 years ago on the same flight out to Blissdom blogging conference in Dallas. She has two kids and I even ended up recruiting her to work with me at eMeals back before I had Leyton. She’s also done Whole30 several times so I get lots of inspiration from her like this Whole30 Buffalo Chicken Dip.
