Blogger Love: Friday Favorites

Happy Friday! Phew....another week under our belts. I think time has sped up since the end of summer is nearing and school is starting soon. I know I can't be alone when I say that I am not ready for the relaxed vibe of summer to leave. Sure I love all things Fall but it does bring with it the return of school, sports, and crazy schedules. For now, I'll choose to focus on the great blog posts I read this week. Thanks to Meagan of All the Joys Friday has become the day to show some appreciation for some great bloggers and the posts that inspired us.
1. I Blog on the Side by Whispering Sweet Nothings. Shane continues her series entitled "How to Balance a Blog with a Full Time Job". This post is loaded with great links and tips for keeping you organized and inspired. Shane may have just started her brand new job in Australia nonetheless but she seems to have it all together so I will gladly take any tips she throws my way.
2. DIY Autumn Home Fragrance by Northern Belle Diaries. Just his week I professed my love for Fall. I was thrilled to come across this post that will definitely leave my home smelling like a cool, crisp Autumn day.
3. You Are Not Alone by Hey Kerri. This week we lost one of the greatest comedians and actors of our time. In this honest post Kerri reaches out to her readers to let them know they are not alone. Sometimes just knowing that others know what you are feeling and experiencing can make all the difference in somebody's world.
4. Free to Be by Ember Grey. Emily reminds us that as children we freely accepted ourselves and proudly proclaimed who we were. As adults we seem to lose that. She encourages us to freely be who we are; to embrace ourselves. Great reminder!
5. 5 Tips for Growing Your Blog Without Sponsorships by Mr. Thomas and Me. Not everyone chooses to sell sponsorships on their blog and that's ok. Amber has some great tips on how to grow your blog without selling sponsorships. FYI, these are great tips for anyone to grow their blog.
