Blogloves

Yolanda @ Cardis in the Dunes: Yolanda is my sister-in-law, and I couldn’t have asked my brother to marry a better gal. This blog is all about the dogs – she raises and breeds Welsh cardigan corgis, which are adorable.

Molly @ Barefoot Punk: Molly is a long-time childhood friend who knows me better than I know myself. She is currently working as a photographer on a cruise ship and battling Lyme disease, and she writes about it all.

“Jane” @ Don’t Mess With Imperfection: A good friend, “Jane” writes about… well, nothing recently, but reading, weight loss and boys, in particular.

Rikki @ Go Go Internets Ranger: I met Rikki during my time at the Daily Evergreen – she and I were under-appreciated as copy editors. She’s one of the few I still keep in regular contact with and really, I don’t get to see her as often as I’d like.

Lauren @ The Off Beat Report: Lauren is the reason I’m so thankful for blogging – the friendships! The connections! She, to me, encompasses everything this is supposed to be about. Plus, you know, she’s a genius (no really, her job title even says so!) and hilarious and cute and has lots of good stuff to say.

Lisa @ The Archives: I worked under Lisa at the Evergreen, while she was editor-in-chief (and all the other positions she held at the paper). Actually, she’s the one who hired me as a copy editor (thanks, Lisa!)… She’s one of the few Evergreeners I worked with who update their blogs regularly (ahem, Brian and Victor!).

20-something Bloggers (or 20SB) is an online community devoted to – yup, you guessed it – 20-something bloggers, created by Lisa. Taken straight from the 20sb info page: “Today, 20-something Bloggers has brought together thousands of bloggers from all over the world, and spawned a vibrant community of like-minded, fascinating people who thrive on one another’s support and feedback.”

Apricot Tea: Ev’Yan’s blog has absolutely nothing to do with tea. She’s got great fashion sense and is a vegetarian and animal lover.

Belle Renee: Renee is a brunette 24-year-old married homebody, struggling to be domestic. She is rather funny and terribly cute.

Doniree: Doni is a foodie, fabulous writer and aspiring yogi.

Erin Uncensored: Erin takes ice cream very seriously.

It’s like I’m… mmmagic!: Brandy is the creator of The Secret Project. She’s just pretty much awesome all around.

Jamie Ann: Jamie is a neurotic, over-thinking, shameless celebrity gossip addict, bad tv watching girl with expensive taste and no money but completely adorable – to take the words right out of her mouth. Jamie likes pretty things.

Kyla Roma: Kyla is a crafty woman living on the Canadian prairies. I may or may not have a teeny crush on her.

Lauren from Texas: Lauren is from Texas and she, apparently, sleeps with a gun on her nightstand. Maybe that’s why I like her so much.

Michelle Woo: Writer. Editor. Dreamer. Bride-to-be! Pretty great.

More is Better: Nicole Antoinette is deliciously vulgar. ‘nough said.

No Ordinary Rollercoaster: Why are all the cute ones gay?

Sleepy Jane: Just your average South African girl and her two dachshunds.

The State That I Am In: Erin is the soon-to-be mother to twin daughters. She is very open and honest about her struggle with infertility. Also she’s ridiculously cute.

Stylish Handwriting: I found an instant kinship with EP through our shared background in journalism. Since then, we have both branched out a bit. EP is a wonderful photographer and beautiful person, inside and out.

Your Wishcake: Kerri is the lady behind this fabulous Etsy shop. Her writing is honest and heart-felt and AND she’s originally from the Northwest!
