The second in my series of 10 Fab Bloggers to Follow {in no particular order}, is Sarah Yates. She writes the blog A House in the Hills. It is such a beautifully simple and gorgeous site. She’s a lifestyle blogger that blogs about fashion, home decor, and my favorite part, her delicious recipes. Her blogs fits into my mission on A Bowl Full of Simple – Enjoy your days in simple beauty.
I found her this past winter while pinning soup recipes. I love a good soup and was looking for a fresh idea from my usual repertoire. Her photographs are clear and gorgeous with perfect light that make you want to try a bite right off the screen. Her recipes are gluten-free and completely all natural. You can trust they are going to be clean-eating and as lovely as she is.
While, I’m probably a foot shorter that she is, I enjoy following her style posts for ideas. I love a gal that isn’t afraid of color! It shines through in her decor as well.
I began reading for the food posts, but I think her jewelry organization post made me a confirmed follower. A girl after my own heart.
I think you’ll be happy to spend some time with A House in the Hills. Thank you Sarah!
Since starting this blog, I have been wanting to attend a blog conference to learn more about blogging and to connect with other bloggers. Getting away to a conference is a bit difficult so you can imagine my thrill when Alt Summit announced Alt for Everyone. Last week, I was able to “attend” several online classes and hook up with talented bloggers while learning some new skills, refining current ones, and meeting all kinds of inspired new virtual friends and bloggers.
The online conference thing is new to me. Having been a stay at home mom for the last 10 years, let’s just say things have changed a bit in the tech world. I attended classes on graphic design, photo styling, and social media. I learned that online conferencing is an incredible mulit-tasking feat! Listening, screen shooting {is that a word?}, note taking, live chatting, phew. Good thing I’m pretty good at it, because my mind was spinning with all the new info. I’m so excited about connecting you with all the new blogger friends soon too! You will be hearing more about some of them in the coming weeks.
I spent the weekend digesting all the words + ideas. Thanks for understanding my absence last week. It’s not like me to be so darn quiet!
A Big thanks to Alt Summit and Bing! Looking forward to Alt SF. Anyone joining me?
