Inspiring Links : Bloggers Finding Love Where They Are

My dreams are all in German now.  It started about a month ago.

I was kind of shocked to wake up that first morning.  Everything seemed so natural, like dreaming in a foreign language is something we all do every night.

Now don’t get too excited.  Because in my dreams?  I am not speaking German.  In fact, I’m downright refusing.  In my dreams, Martin is speaking in German.  He no longer speaks in English to me.  In fact, he’s talking 5x as much in my dreams as he ever has before.  (That’s how I know it’s a dream!)

Then we wake up, say, “Hello” and “Good Morning,” and the German communication between us never really gets going.  I’m okay with that.  If we were trying to start off the morning in German, I would be late for absolutely everything.  I would run out of time and never get to write to all of you (my German is soooo slow and ridiculous sounding!)

I thought it might be fun to poke around the web with you a little bit today.  There are some women out there with some fabulous thoughts.  Shall we go take a visit?  Here we go…

1.  Instead of ditching her unwanted art and craft supplies, SimpleSavvy started a vintage and recycled craft supply shop.  I think it’s brilliant.

2.  Another brilliant idea comes from The Borrowed Abode.  She had some beloved items that she just knew she needed to part with.  It’s hard to say goodbye to sentimental things, you know?  But if you’re a blogger, you might just love this idea.  She gave one beloved item away on her blog with plans for more.

3.  The coffee pot at Remodeling This Life’s house gave up.  Her husband pulled out the french press, and now they’re really looking at the question of convenience at the expense of value and quality.

4.  Keeper of the Home pulled together some recipes for natural beauty products you can make at home.

5.  A Lil Welsh Rarebit was one of the very first readers on Making This Home, and I cannot resist the opportunity to wish her an enormous congratulations on the new baby boy!

6.  And finally, way back in February I was interviewed on Almost Frugal about what  frugality means to me.  Somehow, I mentioned  it on Twitter and completely forgot to tell all of you.  So you can check that out if you’d like.

So there you have it!

Martin and I have been snapping photos of our daily life to insert into our Love Where We Live journal (still have some in the shop!).  I cannot believe how much fun documenting our home and Berlin has been – for both of us!

Have you found any inspiring articles online?  (Feel free to include one from your own blog!)  Or how are you coming with your own home journal?  Aren’t they a blast?!
