HEARTING: The new cookbooks and baking books i got for Christmas this year. I made chocolate cupcakes with salted caramel frosting out of Homemade Decadence by Joy the baker and they were so good! READING: Catching up on some of my favorite blogs: Oh Simple Thoughts , Wetherills say I Do , and Dearest Love . Also reading the She Reads Truth Esther study. PINNING: I pinned these cranberry white chocolate oatmeal cookies and i can't wait to make them this weekend! So there may be a recipe on the blog next week! EATING: I made tomatoe basil soup for my friends and I the other night. It was so good and they loved it as well, which was a plus. I just finished it yesterday. ANTICIPATING: Going home for spring break in March, it will be nice to be home for a week. And maybe Valentines day cause it will be an excuse to eat chocolate. LiINKING UP WITH: Jenna and Anne for their currently linkup
Encouraging Women to Find Rest in God
Thanks so much for sharing my links! Love this post, it's so important to build a strong blogging community :)
ReplyDeleteI've been loving the community I've found through blogging! I have so many virtual friends (and a few in-person) I'd never have met if not for blogging. It took a while to really start connecting, but now that i think about it, meaningful comments and emails are what brought about most of them. That and the awesome group at the Peony Project.

ReplyDeleteReaching out to other bloggers and creating community is so so important! I have come to realize that my blog wouldn't be anything if I didn't have other bloggers supporting me!
ReplyDeleteThese are really great ideas! Blogger meetups are the BEST and really help to connect and get to know other bloggers!
ReplyDeleteMmmm yes, this is good!
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I hope I will be able to attend a blogger meetup sometime this year.
ReplyDeleteYour welcome girl!
ReplyDeleteI agree it is, It's something I never really realized was so important until I started to build one.
Thanks Holly!
ReplyDeleteThat is so true! Community is really what it's all about and connecting with other bloggers helps it to grow in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteThanks girl! I hope I can go to one or do one soon, i think it would be so great to meet other bloggers in real life.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Me too, i think it would be so great to connect with other bloggers in real life.
ReplyDeleteI would love to find other bloggers in my area, but I kinda live out in the middle of no where. Maybe later in the year I could make it a priority to find some bloggers who live by me and make something happen.
ReplyDeleteI love Peony Project! Everyone there is so helpful and encouraging. Found your post there. :-)
oh you should! I really want to do it, i think it would be great to connect with other bloggers in real life :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! Thanks so much for stopping by! I will have to check out your blog!
All excellent ideas. It takes work to grow community anyway and especially in the bloggershere.
ReplyDeletethat is so true! It definetly does, but it is all worth it in the end :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these tips! I just joined the blogging community a few weeks ago, and I'm eager to get to know other writers. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming -- like walking into a party where I don't know anybody, and everyone else seems to know each other! But I'm trying to work on taking one step and saying one hello at a time.
