5 Bloggy Shout Outs!

Scroll down to learn more about Mamarazzi's Red, White and Blue Swap!!

I have been feeling the love a little after being featured on 2 blogs for my cute ABC Wall Art. I love the feeling of knowing something I created is appreciated by someone I don't even know, thrilling!

This got me to thinking. How do I pay that feeling forward?

I decided to do a few shout outs of my own.

So I think a few times a month I will create a post based on blog posts that recently inspire me.

We all do a lot of reading and commenting, but is there ever a time when you have sent a friend over to read something that particularly inspired you? Or made you laugh? Or left you feeling crafty? Or tugged at your heart? Or made you wish you were a baker (OK, maybe that last one is just me)?

It happens to me all the time and I tend to use the little envelope button at the bottom of people's posts to SHARE via email.

These Bloggy Shouts Outs will be that idea, just on a grander scale...because often I find myself wanting everyone I love to soak up that kind of bloggy goodness.

So, let the bloggy shout outs begin.

First we need a cute button...for the people who are featured. So if you are featured grab the Bloggy Shout Out button from my sidebar...You. Are. Welcome.

My first Bloggy Shout Out goes to:

Making the World Cuter for a clever (and cute) way of getting the kids to not only help out with chores but also learn the value of money, saving, and spending. Brilliant! A must read for all cute, fun moms and dads who want their kids to grow up and be financially responsible and learn the value of work.

I have spent a lot of time thinking about ways that I can make healthier choices. Y'all know this already, since I love to share. But my bloggy friend Janna from Happiness is a Journey truly inspires me. She photographs everything the eats...everyday, and posts them on her blog. It is her way of of tracking herself and keeping it real, honest, brave...awesome!

Not Your Average Teen is a fairly new blogger who was recently featured on SITS. I came across her blog about a month ago and added her to my reader. I love the way this girl writes and I love her 18 yr old perspective on the world around her and life in general. Since J is entering High School i figured I could learn a thing or two from a teen like Brittany Ciara. OH and she is also a new blog designer, she is saving money for college tuition, and is very affordable.

Mimi from Living in France wrote an amazing post on Raising Awareness on Multiple Sclerosis she even kept it sexy in true Mimi fashion. I am really hoping you will take a minute to go read this, it's very informative and a good read.

And Lastly, (but not leastly) I love to cook, love it! Baking is not something I have ever been truly successful with. Well Joy's Hope has a recipe for Salty Caramel Cupcakes that make me droooool. I know there go the healthy choices right? Well the good thing is, I am not a baker. The bad thing? There isn't one...hello did you hear me Salty Caramel Cupcakes!!! Go get the recipe...and send me one, please.

I hope you will take a minute and stop in and see the awesomeness that I saw and tell them Mamarazzi sent ya!

So, read anything lately that you think I should know about? Click that little envelope button and send it to me mamarazziblog at yahoo dot com. I mean since I shared this awesomeness with you and everything, it's only fair right?

Photobucketalso...there are a few spots left for my Red White and Blue Swap!!
