Inspired Tuesday - May 14th

I am really missing blogging, but I am having such a struggle to find the time! However I am sure to get this Inspired Tuesday out at least!

I hope to return more regularly soon.

But enough about me and on to this weeks features.

First up we have Cathie from Toddlers Through Preschool. Last week she blogged about a book she reads to the kids and some fun activities to do with it. I really enjoyed this post because this particular book (Jamberry) is one of the only English books that I read to my kids on a regular basis. It is one of our favorite reads. Be sure to stop by Cathie's blog and leave her some comment love.

Next up we have Bethany from Before, During and After and she blogged about doing Crossfit during pregnancy. I kind of has to say, that is crazy! But in a good way. I say good for her, and very inspiring post! Seriously, go check out this post!

And  on to this weeks free printable:

Inspired Tuesday May 6th

Can you all believe that it is May already! I can't. The weather hasn't helped with that either, we are still getting frost in the morning a couple times a week!

I know each week I usually feature a blog or two that linked up the previous week. This week I am taking a break from that because I have something I really want to share with you.

Some of you may or may not know that I am a blog designer, some of you even took my Blog Design eCourse. However due to exciting things happening in my life I just no longer have time to do blog designs for others, so I am no longer taking additional clients.

However... one of my eCourse students has taken the leap and started her own blog design business. I want to introduce you to J9 Designs:

I can not say enough how proud I am to have one of my eCourse students take what they learned from me to the next level. She offers a variety of services and designs for both Blogger and WordPress.

If you are looking for some help with your blog I would highly recommend J9 Designs. You can visit her website HERE or stop by her Facebook page and show her some like love.

And with that... on to the link up..

Spring has arrived

Spring has finally arrived here. I can not say enough how awesome it is to have a garden with flowers. I no longer have to go searching for flowers to take pictures of. There are plenty in my backyard.

Today these lovely blue ones opened up.

I love the 'pop' that blue flowers add to a garden.
