Places To Go, People To Read, Things To Do

These are sites I love for a variety of reason- amazing, talented folks, design/art inspiration, humor, motivation, business rocking, awesome community…Take a peek (but don’t forget to come back here when you’re done!)

Apartment Therapy- Caution: Hours can be spent cruising their network of websites. Home, kids, tech stuff, cooking…just a fun site to spend a Saturday morning.

Artsyville- Aimee, with her colorful work and personality, never cease to make me smile. So funny and free, a real inspiration to me.

The Blogess- Her tagline is “Like Mother Teresa, Only Better”. You’ll either love her or run far, far away.

Crooked Brain- Cool, quirky, funny, weird stuff.

Desire to Inspire- I’ve subscribed to many a design blog over the years, but this one is by far my favorite. They find the most amazing homes & photographers to feature.

Jennsylvania- The blog of author Jen Lancaster. Love her sarcastic wit and use of footnotes in her books.

Little House on the Southern Prairie- Down to earth and funny, Emily’s a former newspaper writer who opted out of that life to pursue simpler living in the South.

Oh My! Handmade Goodness- If you’ve got a creative business, are juggling kids & a business, or are just looking to connect with a cool, creative community, this site’s for you.

Scoutie Girl- “Where passionate creatives connect, converse, commune” Exactly.

Swiss Miss- Cool, miscellaneous design finds.

Tara Gentile- If you want to make shit happen with your business, she’s at rock star at helping you do that. Definitely a hero of mine.

Unhappy Hipsters- If you love Dwell magazine, or making fun of hipsters, you’ll laugh at this site.
