I always enjoy linking up with Ashley at The Sweet Season for Friday Letters!  She announced last week that she is pregnant!  I’m so happy for her and her sweet family, she is absolutely one of my favorite bloggers!  Her and her husband have had many trials and have continued along this journey in prayer.  I just wanted to take a minute and say how honored I am to have the opportunity to follow along in their life and that I am daily blessed by the things she posts on her blog!  She is a very inspiring and encouraging woman of God!

Dear Blog BFF’s, it’s amazing the relationships I’m building with each of you!  You’re all so different in your own special way and I feel like we really connect and could be IRL friends, for sure!  Thanks for coming back day after day and spending time with me!  Dear fugly toes, I noticed you needed some TLC while I was at yoga yesterday and it may just be time to splurge on a good ole’ pedicure!  Not gonna lie, I was a tad embarrased to be seen with you!  Dear Job, thanks for giving me only 1 day home over the course of the next week due to traveling I need to do.  It’s Ok though, I’m kind of excited about it and it’ll be nice to go somewhere, but I know when next Friday rolls around, I’ll be ready to get home!  Dear Blog Inc., I’m loving you!  You’re such a fun read and I’m excited about building a better blog and connecting with my readers more!  Dear Crazy Love, I’m enjoying you so far, I just started you, but I love the perspective I’m getting and I hope you have a lot to teach me, because I know I need it!  Dear #Alabamablogger #blate this weekend, first of all, thanks for letting this hard-core Mississippi girl join your fun!  I’m excited about meeting some bloggers in real life and connecting with some new friends!  After this, I may choose to have a MS blogger meet up, and you’ll be more than welcome to join!  Dear twitter, why oh why do you not alert me when something happens?  It’s frackin’ annoying!  I hate having to check up on it myself, I just want you to tell me when someone follows me or says something!  The notification settings are no help either! grr…. Dear Carabox exchange, you REALLY did well!  I enjoyed getting paired up with Hillary and I can’t wait to show off what I got in my box!  I’ve already instagramed it and it’s fabulous!  Y’all should check out my sweet friend Hillary, she’s a new blogger and has just started this juicing and cleanse!  She believes in taking care of health issues the natural way which is what she’s doing and I am just over the moon encouraged by her!  And since we’ve met, she has e-mailed me every week to see how I’m doing and what I have going on, seriously, SO SWEET!  Oh, I forgot to mention that she too is a Mississippi blogger and doesn’t live too far away, so we’ll be going on a blate soon! FYI!

Hope y’all had a great week and have some excellent weekend plans in store! As I’ve mentioned a million times over, I’ll be heading out to Birmingham for my blate, then heading home to see my family and see my best friend for the last time before she moves to Colorado!  Wish me safe travels and I’ll “see” y’all soon!

This is the home page for bloglovin

As you can see, on the left hand side is a list of the blogs I follow.  I have a tab for my Daily Reads which is great because even when I don’t have time to catch up on EVERY blog I would ideally be able to read on a daily basis, I can catch up on the blogs that I love or the ladies I feel like I know on a more personal level.  Then I categorize my other blogs into mommy blogs and newlywed blogs and running blogs and crafting blogs.  The list is endless as to how you can categorize your blogs.

Now here’s my favorite part!  When you go in to read a blog, you’ll have a few things I want to make sure you notice!
1. You have a pull down tab with all the blog posts and how many blogs need to be read so you can choose certain sections to read from.  As you can see, my “All unread posts” is selected and I am on 1/2 of those posts.
2. Once I finish that post, i click the “Older” button to scroll to the next blog that I need to read.
3. THE BEST PART: If there is a post I love, a recipe I want to check out later, or just some really great advice I want to make sure to remember, I can click that little heart at the top and it saves it in my favorite file and I can go back at anytime!

Bloglovin has really changed the way I blog and comment and it’s made me a better blogger!  I feel like I’m connecting with my readers more and the blogs that I follow, I also feel like I’ve been able to keep up with everyone’s lives and comment more frequently!  I strongly suggest using Bloglovin to keep up with your favorite blogs!

Have a great Tuesday sweet friends, hope this was helpful!
