…and speaking of beauty-full places to visit, here are some of my favorite blogs in the whole world (wide web):
1. Assortment– by Carmella
“Everyone has a story. It follows like a shadow, a silhouette. Here, I write ours. It’s become a story about less. And more. It’s about long-term goals and right-now sacrifices, followed by right-now blessings. It’s living smaller in order to live larger. It’s taking note of the days and marking down the beautiful (and sometimes crazy). It’s happy and hard (life just is) and very, very true. And it all happens in our 665 square foot home in the foothills of Wyoming’s mountains. Yes, 665 square feet for the five of us, just built in 2012. Here, we learn, we love, and we live well . . . with less.” – Carmella
2. Fairview Farm– by Julia
“I live on a small family farm with my amazing husband and four beautiful children. Days are full, busy, and wonderful. I’m smitten with living a simple, peaceful, joy-filled life. There is true freedom in having less and being blissfully content with what you have been given.” – Julia
3. Cozy. Cottage. Cute.– by Sarah
“Well, hi there. I’m Sarah. Just a girl with an unhealthy obsession with anything white, cottage-y, and/or cute. I’m so glad you’ve taken the time to visit my little blog that I pretend is big. Now here is where I bribe you to stick around with an imaginary sprinkle cupcake. If you do, stick around that is, I promise that you’ll grow to love my ADD type personality and frequent grammatical errors.” – Sarah
4. Farmgirl Follies– by Jennifer Kiko
“I thrive on fresh air, wide open spaces, sunshine and solitude. I’m a writer by profession, but I crave words and sentences in my spare time, too. Farmgirl Follies is an outlet for creative pursuits and a place to keep memories, photographs, and recollections of life. It’s where I do my best thinking.” – Jennifer
Carmella, Julia, Sarah and Jennifer, y’all make my inbox so much fun! 😀
Love assortment! Going right now to check out the other three.:)
i would love to read these – but like so many other great blogs, they are not on Bloglovin’ and I don’t have time to go to individual blogs every day! Boo-hoo!
Oh, I subscribe to them via email, Esti. I only subscribe those 4, so I’ve found that’s the easiest way for me to follow! 🙂
feedly! just input the url to any blog and their feed automatically appears like magic.
Thanks for these great blog suggestions, all new to me. Definitely checking them out. I love stories, real ones…and I sniff some awesome stories ahead. Thanks for the heads up Layla!
I always love checking out new blogs…the world is full of color and uniqueness and each blog reflects the individual who discovers it. (Such a God-thing!) The last blog you suggested didn’t have a working page…hopefully, that’s temporary. Thanks for bringing us the links…fun!
Thanks so much — I’m honored! And the feeling is mutual, Layla! 🙂
Love me some great new blogs – thanks for sharing! Just went to Farmgirl Follies and the site is down maybe?? Bummer! Will keep checking back, though!
let us know when Farmgirl Follies is up and running. Would love to check it out.
pretty sure i am already in love with one of these women. looking forward to exploring the others just as much. thanks, layla!
This must be the day for sharing favorite blogs. I just came from reading about another blogger’s faves. I have to say … all four of yours look intriguing to me (the other blogger’s faves didn’t really appeal to me)–must be the artsy factor that yours have! I love what Carmella wrote to describe her lifestyle. Next stop, Assortment! 😉
So kind of you to include me here, today, Layla! Thank you!
Oh Layla! You are too kind. Thank you for mentioning me. I have followed you for years and adore your blog 🙂

Thanks for introducing me to these great story tellers. I now love these blogs and I love the emphasis on living smaller, simpler, and more fully! Great post, Layla. I would love to hear other blogs you love. 🙂
I visited each blog and each one was as wonderful as the next. What a beautiful slice of talent and beauty you shared with us – thanks much! Looking forward to reading/seeing more from these ladies : )
I LOVE that you’ve included 2 farm blogs! I also live on a farm (in a 100 year old farmhouse!) and blog about it at http://www.onthebanksofsquawcreek.com
I love Cozy, Cottage, Cute as well. Great style and she has such a great sense of humor. Cooper is a cutie.
