Passion and Bloggers Who Have Inspired Me link up

Like I mentioned yesterday (see post here) the past week and even weekend have been super busy. My hubby was on spring break last week with school and while I still posted I have been neglecting blogging or visiting other blogs. While this little space isn’t a job let’s be honest with ourselves and just say that at times it can seem like one (especially if you have affiliate links, sponsors, collaborations or a weekly link-up). When you are passionate about something it can take a lot out of you at the same time, like a dancer with dance practice or an aspiring cook to perfect the perfect dish- that has been what this blog has been lately. I love knowing that feeling and being passionate about blogging but there comes a point where if blogging can’t be done it throws everything off kilter (at least for me).  Tonight my hubby suggested I put our 2 in a half year old son to bed, that I shower and I go to bed early (since I have had little sleep) and I gave him the mean look and “oh no you didn’t look” over the phones facetime camera (since he works in the evenings). I feel bad that I did that but I am passionate about this link up and didn’t want to NOT have it open for reading your links or allowing you to link up so without further adieu here are last weeks featured five and the link up for today.

Shauna of @lipglossandlace.net linked up a lovely fringe and flare outfit that I just couldn’t keep my eyes off of, see the look here.
Denise of @fashionloveletters.com linked up a lovely distressed jeans, and shoulder cut off tee that seemed to be so appropriate for spring transition (despite the snow in the background) and I just found the whole outfit cute and inspiring to try sometime. See the post here.


Tea of @whatmamawear.blogspot.ca linked up a casual ladies night out outfit. I loved that Tea and I have similar taste in style (both are moms) so flats (especially leopard print ones) are definitely a bonus or staple for even a girls night out for us both it seems. You can read about what she did for her ladies night out and view her outfit here.

Melissa of @missyg.com linked up a recent review of a Thalia For Macy’s launch party that she participated in and shared on. I was excited for Melissa’s outlook on this new line of clothing at Macys and had to share it with you. Check out some of her favorite pieces and review here.

Jill of @dousedinpink.blogspot.com linked up several quick and easy recipes for in home entertaining (especially for her and some friends to eat while enjoying the past recent Oscars) and this chicken cheddar dip looked heavenly enough that I knew I had to try it. You can view this recipe and others for a party here.
