The happiest of Fridays to you!
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a roundup for weekend reads, so I decided it was time to share some of my favorite blog posts from the last couple of weeks. Fix yourself a beverage of your choice, kick back, and enjoy!
Blog posts that inspired me the past few weeks:
How I Let Go Of Caring What People Think on Frugalwoods. How to stop worrying about meeting other people’s expectations and start living your life for you.
Sentiment or Function? Which Would You Choose? on LifeStyle Voices. A story on Kay’s experience with parting from sentimental items, which is perfect timing for our declutter mission for this week!
What We Appreciate Appreciates on Becoming Minimalist. How having fewer possessions can help you to see how full and rich your life already is, and appreciate what you already have without having to indulge in the “consumer” mentality.
Getting Rid of Negative Self-Talk by Heather Carson. Negative self-talk is something we can all work at eliminating, and Heather shares 5 ways to go about doing just that.
In case you missed anything on Embracing Simple the past week, here’s a quick recap of what’s been going on:

Have a fabulous weekend, and happy reading!
Thanks Christina! I have to tell you, Part 1 of your series was SO good, I was speechless! Jay may want tips on how you managed that. 😛
Thank YOU for writing such an awesome and inspiring post, Kay! Oh gosh, you are both too kind, thank you for that!!
These do sound like great reads! Looks like I’ll be sneaking a few minutes of mommy free time this weekend to check them out! Thanks for sharing them. :o)
Thank you so much for including my post, Christina. I appreciate it! Hope you’re having a lovely weekend 🙂
You bet, thanks for sharing such an awesome post 🙂
This is the best round-up post ever. I loved each of those articles! Thank you for sharing! 🙂
Aw, thank you Meredith! 🙂
The weekend is over but these posts are still good for this busy week. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much!
Nice job getting those two additional pages added. I see you use mailchimp. I signed up for AWeber and I’m very disappointed. Definitely not worth $20/month…my complaint is that they have terrible templates so you have to really tweak them to get them to look halfway decent. I shouldn’t have to pay $20/month for crappy templates!
Thanks DC! Ugh AWeber….my least favorite of them all. I would take MailChimp or Constant Contact over AWeber all day. Sorry to hear you are disappointed, that really stinks to be paying $20/month for something you aren’t happy with.
