Fridays With Friends .01 - A Daily Something

It's been quite a while since I've taken the time to go through and check the links in my side bars to be sure that they are still working and up to date, but there are quite a few of them, I've decided to just check one or two every day or so until I have them all updated. With that, I thought it might make it more fun write a series of posts, FRIDAYS WITH FRIENDS in which I'll introduce you to a Kindred Spirit, that is listed in the side bar on the right side of my blog. These are blogs I've followed and online friends that I've made, a few for more than a decade now, that have inspired and encouraged me. Once I've finished updating the Kindred Spirits links, I'll move on to others and come up with a new catchy name for that series. Sound like fun?, then let's begin!

First up . . .

Rebecca Gallop of A Daily Something.

"A Daily Something is a lifestyle destination where Rebecca shares about the simple daily somethings that make life beautiful. Topics include: recipes, life with littles, home décor & DIY projects, entertaining, gatherings, and personal style. Launched in 2011 as a personal creative outlet while studying political science in college A Daily Something has grown to be an online community for those interested in beautifying and simplifying all areas of life." 

Three posts that caught my eye . . .

- A Daily Rhythm Challenge

Rebecca completed the 75 Hard Challenge, something I've considered doing before, but to date have not. To be honest, it's a bit too much for me, and while there is a 75 Soft that appears to be more do-able, I like the sound of this challenge even better.  Also check out her Live Slow Challenge.

- Thoughts On Cultivating An Open Door Policy

Which is something I often struggle with, and I was encouraged by this post. Since we moved to our homestead we now live 30 minutes from everywhere, so it's not as much of an occurrence, but, when it is I want to learn to relax and enjoy the company!

- What To Do With Chive Blossoms

I have one healthy chive plant in my garden, but it has never bloomed. I don't even see evidence of potential blooms, but . . . if it ever does, now I'll know what to do with them.

Three recipes I want to try . . .

- Simple No Knead Dutch Oven Bread

- Hedgehog's Cake - I just love the name!

- Grapes Wrapped in Goat Cheese

And just three more I can't pass by . . .

- Another challenge, this time in the kitchen, The Capsule Kitchen Challenge

- Pantry Essentials and How To Organize Your Pantry

- And just about everything labled, The Art of Gathering!

Even though it's been awhile since Rebecca has posted new content, the archives are full of so much inspiring content I'll keep the link active. Even though I woud prefer to link active sites, sometimes the wealth of information that remains makes it worth re-visting.

And with that, I hope you've enjoyed this first edition of FRIDAY'S WITH FRIENDS! I'll be back next week to introduce you to someone new!
